Questions? Ask Him, He knows they are there.

Steven Curtis Chapman is a well known Christian artist. A few years ago a tragic accident happened, and his daughter was accidently killed. Yes he had questions, and even wrote a song about it. When I heard this story, my heart was so full of pain and sorrow for his family, but especially his son. By accident, not seeing his younger sister in the driveway, he struck and killed her. I can’t even imagine the pain the whole family felt at the loss of Maria Sue.

I love Jesus with everything that’s in me. I live my life as best I can to glorify Him. But that doesn’t mean I won’t have questions about things as long as I am here on the other side of home. God already knows the questions we have, so we might as well just ask Him.

My husband got a phone call from his sister the other day, and we found out a family member who is pregnant, found out the baby that she is carrying has no leg from the knee down. I am so glad God knows my heart, because the questions I had inside were many. I know He understands us being filled with questions, but not unbelief. 1 John 3: 19-20, “This then is how we know we belong to the Truth, and how we set our hearts at rest in His presence whenever our hearts condemn us. For God is Greater than our hearts, and knows everything.”

So don’t feel bad if you have questions like, “how could you God?” or, “where were you God?” He is Big enough to handle them, and he will quiet you with His love. For, “there is no condemnation for those who are in Christ.” (Romans 8:1).  I have to always remind myself that God is Greater than my questions, and He knows my heart.

When you see how these little ones handle their handicaps, and the smiles bigger than their little faces, it blows me away. And to think of the stupid things that I can complain about, makes me mad at myself.

There is lessons for all of us. Sometimes in our own pain, or sometimes the trials of someone else. Everything has a reason that we may not understand for now. Knowing that God understands our questions, we have to believe and be thankful for all we have, and to know a day of redemption (rescue) is coming.

Jesus is seated on His throne and even He said, “I am making EVERYTHING NEW!” Revelations 21: 5. That’s our hope we have to look forward to. We are NOT HOME YET!    So let your, hurt collide with the Healer...

Grace and peace to you
