The Worst Thing That Could Ever Happen…

A lot of us can think of things that we would never want to happen to us… Maybe the death of a loved one, losing a job or being single and never having kids… In fact in the last few days I have heard some really sad stories. A parent finding out that their child has a disability or worse your child not living at all. However, I heard something else recently that made me sad as well.  Someone I knew was talking to me about a problem they are having in their life and I said to them why don’t you ask God what to do? They said to me “because I don’t know how”…  of course I told them what I thought and gave them suggestions but I’m not sure if they really received them.  I thought to myself “how sad, hopeless, and confusing your life must  be when you don’t have a real relationship with God.

I can’t imagine going through any of the situations that I listed above. I cannot know that kind of pain and I’m sure what I imagine doesn’t come close to the reality of it. BUT I simply cannot imagine going through that kind of heartache without Jesus. The God of all comfort. The lifter of my head. He is a necessary in this life.

This world is troubled, its evil and it is unfair. What helps me is knowing that I have a God who is sovereign. One who has a plan for my life. He never misses a tear or wastes a sorrow. It all works out for me in the end. That is my motivation to keep going when it’s tough. God is my light at the end of the tunnel. I’m never hopeless because I’m never helpless.  

The worst thing that could ever happen to us is living a life without God. We have to remember not to take the privilege of having a relationship with God for granted, because that is the best thing to ever happen to us.
