Some of you would answer YES. Right?
U don’t say that when you got bullied at school, u turned
rebellious, u turned to gangsters for help to protect yourself, which then
involved you in more crimes, like drugs, like robbery, then you quit school
just because you decided it was not the place for you – you then became a
full-time gangster because it makes u feel strong. Then you learn how it can
earn u easy money, u then turned to brothel and prostitution business, involved
in killing some bad guys, risked yourself getting killed, and finally, life
takes its toll on you, you find yourself finding ur way back to righteousness.
You want to change. Mess after mess, you start to get back the fruit of your
choice – U suffer from the outcome. One day you stand at the front of your
other fellow Christians who are waiting for your testimony, would u say
everything happened to you was according to God’s plan?
I beg to differ. Just
giving opinion as a layman, I would say NO.Since when that God teaches us to do
all the things that the guy has been doing? Maybe how he got bullied at school
was not his fault, but it’s his choice to choose how to react to it. God gives
us the ability to CHOOSE! Of all the good things he could end up doing, he
chose to be bad. Maybe he has reasons that are not known by others, maybe he
faced some broken family problem, STILL, he could end up becoming a good man
instead of complicating his life.
Maybe you have your own opinion that Yes, God runs every
moments of our lives. And doesn’t matter what my argument is, My logic with God’s
Logic are not the same. That I accept. But still, there are Bible verses that
say it clearly that His plans will be laid upon those who TRUST IN HIM, who
seek the truth in Him. As we know, we can fall into sins, we can even turn our
back on Him anytime. And does God want us to sin? Of course He doesn’t. Most of
the time, it’s our full will and consent that we do what we did. In a split
second decision, we can decide to not go to church and go to shop instead.
Maybe because we are lazy, or we are having doubts in faith, you name it. It’s
so unfair that we think God already set out all the dull things we do in life
when it’s only a matter of choice that we do what’s right.
One day we can ask for God’s direction in our lives, and He
sent us wisdom and signs. Yes, God does that. But from there, you can anytime
ignore His presence and get lost again. This world is just full of sins and
temptations, it's just so easy to get drifted. God can be sitting just beside you and you don’t
even care. So don’t go around telling people that all the mess in ur life now
IS GOD’S PLAN, when it’s not. When you cheat your partner, it’s not God’s
fault. When your lust is bigger than your brain, it’s not God’s fault, when you
count your misery instead of your gifts, that’s certainly is not God’s fault.
He can have the loveliest plan in your life, but are you following His way? If you
don’t, How can that plan be revealed to you? Just like the non-believers. You do dare to say that for them to be
nonbelievers and refuse to accept God is also part of His plan? When you say No
to those who show you the right way, what about that?
So I want to tell u my dear friends, WE HAVE A SAY in what’s
gonna happen next. It’s all a choice. Following God’s will ISN’T EASY. To stay
faithful isn’t easy. So it’s not a surprise that not many have it. So when you
do something really wrong in your life and still go around and talk as if you
are the holy man just because you believe that everything bad you do has
happened with God’s permission, while it’s your greed and human flesh that rule
you, instead of God.
Good News: God is ever forgiving, He will receive us back.
And He can use our current situation, no matter how bad it is, to work in a manner that will contribute to something good our lives. Nothing is impossible to Him, you believers know that!! Question is, how long and how are you are gonna lead that route? U have to turn
back and make things right. God’s mercy is for all. Alleluia.
