I have a thought tonight. Many tragedies lately and things seem to be accelerating.
Some of you might disagree with this, but that’s okay. You don’t have to agree. This is your right as a human, it’s a choice. I don’t believe that anyone should be forced to believe something someone else does.
I’m a Christian, and I believe everything happens for a reason. Even bad things, or tragedies.
Shootings, murders, death, sickness etc.
My thought, in my belief, is that God is in control of ALL things.
He allows these things to happen in order to change them, or people around them. His goal is to bring people closer to Him.
Why? I’ve often wondered why he would allow a 3 year old to get cancer, or allow a fatal car wreck, etc. why?
A couple years ago, after my playing career ended and I was searching for a new version of me, I pondered this question deeply. Maybe I’m right, maybe I’m wrong. This is my hypothesis.
As humans, we are selfish, we are controlling. We want to control our lives and even others people lives around us, but, God has a purpose for us here on this planet. If we do this purpose, and then have faith with His plan while believing that Jesus died for us, we will make it home.
As Christian’s, our ultimate goal is to get to Heaven. That is where we will live eternally with our Savior. We must do His purpose for us here.
I used to believe that baseball was my purpose, and I couldn’t have been more wrong.
It is always our choice to turn to Him. He gave us free will for this purpose.
His thoughts and ways are higher than ours. We will never truly understand until we meet him face to face.
I believe that everyone has a general, Godly purpose here on this planet. That is to help others reach the Kingdom in their own way.
Have a good night everyone.
Isaiah 55, 8-9
