Do We Believe?

Little thought of the day.

In life, there are moments when we can't understand how things happen and it is even harder to fathom why things happen.

It is always easier said than done, especially when we get down to comfort someone. For example, victim of certain tragedy. We can give and quote all the biblical references and word of encouragement but little do we actually know how much that actually helps. But, what more can we do? Apart from prayer, physical assistance...

We know that God is all we have and God is able for he holds all things together. But, it requires faith to see that. In the past there are non believers who actually told me that Christian quotes are not about relationship with the Creator, but mental boost and mere encouragement in times of need. We gotta see beyond that. First come the relationship and through the journey that we embark and partner with God, we know that God he goes before us and he is with us. It takes second for God to perform a miracle. But the question, do we believe God is able?

I wonder what's the reaction of the disciples when their master was bullied, tortured and then crucified on the Cross. They witnessed everything. How did they take it? What about Jesus? He went through and bore the entire sickening process. How did he feel? How did he take it?

There is difference between a bystander and a victim. There is difference between an onlooker and a participant.

Do we believe everything happens for a purpose? Do we believe everything happens according to the will of God? Do we believe it is not just an accident? Do we believe?
