Sometimes... well a lot of times thing happen to me that aren't according to my plan, and my reaction, which may be similar to yours, is almost always "WHY GOD, WHY ME, WHY NOW?" These thing almost never make scene to me, but last night I was doing my quiet time when I came across a verse that answered all of my unreasonable questions to God.
John 13:7
Jesus replied, "You do not realize what I am doing now, but later you will understand."
Immediately, when I read those words, I knew that God was trying to tell me something. So I just sat on my bed and thought. I have gone through so many rough times with friends, family, and myself. Those same question would always go through my head. "WHY GOD, WHY ME, WHY NOW?". All those tears shed and broken heart. I never understood at the time why God was allowing all these things to happen. I was applying the most recent rough occurrence that I had to this verse, and I realized that in the production of the tears and in the midst of my low self-esteem God was shaping me into... me. He reminded me of the things I liked to do, and why I liked to do them. He reminded me of who I was, and along with all of this he uncovered more to the mystery of being me. So, now when I go through heartbreaking middle school hardships I will remember this verse. I will remember that even though things may hurt now, it is all part of God's plan. He know exactly what he is doing, and He NEVER makes mistakes.
Thank you Lord for showing me this verse!
