All of God's Plan

Last night, the servant team prayer was cancelled and instead we went to BASIC's one cry pep rally. There the speaker was talking about how people tend to fall short in seeing all of God's plans. When God's plans for us are being played out, there may be a time when things get tough and that is when we are called to persevere and to look towards God and keep pushing on. However, most of us just throw up our hands and give up. Some of us may grow angry with God for being cruel, and some of us may just be like "it is what it is, there's nothing we can do about it, this is what God wants" but thats not what God wants. He wants us to keep bothering him for an answer, he wants us to keep praying and persevere til the time comes when he reveals it all before you. He wants us to be close to him in that sense, to feel comfortable in coming to him with all things in our lives. God wants us to love him and to trust him. God isn't cruel at all, in fact he is quite loving. For every tear we cry, it hurts him a thousand times more. People are probably wondering "then why do we have suffering in our lives?" Well if you really think about it, what is happiness to you if you have never suffered before? When are you most willing to turn to God; in your happiest moments or when you really need help? This is the very reason why obstacles are placed in our lives, so that we can persevere and turn to God. God suffers so that we can live to the fullest. So before we give up and before we start hating him for being mean, lets really just trust him and ask him to show us what it is that he has in store for us. When we fail to see all of God's plans we will get stuck in all the pains of the obstacle and never learn the lesson that came with it. By doing so, we will only cause more pain to ourselves and that isn't God's fault at all. Persevere and have faith!

You need to persevere so that when you have done the will of God, you will receive what he has promised.
