Where is God Amidst Life Trials?

  Amidst all unfortunate events that happened in our world today, you can easily say that God has abandoned us in their midst. You can probably throw questions like, ” Why did God allow these unfortunate incidents to happen?”, ” Did God abandon us when we seemed to be needing Him most?”….

          These are but some of the questions that can come up in your mind. So sad…deeply heartbreaking….you could feel that in your heart. So many lives are lost and numbers are still at risk of facing death in the events of typhoon, earthquake, war, tornado, hunger etc. in this world.

          As human as you are, your natural tendency would be to feel isolation, unloved by God, desolation, and uncared for. However, you can always find consolation and comfort in God’s unconditional love for you. The paradox of His love is shown to you through His offering of His only Son for your salvation.


          On the other hand, God never likes you or anybody else to suffer those tribulations. He always wants us to feel comforted by His love and care. He never fades in showing and showering your life with abundant blessings. 


          Don’t ever feel that God is letting you to feel those pains and heartaches. This may not be easy as said however, you need to be strong and find His warm embrace. Everyday must go on and be counted as His expression of extending LOVE and COMFORT to you. Having said that, you will be constantly guided by His never fading light for He never abandons you or anyone else.
