Is God alive today?

While talking with my friend Jess last night we discussed how to answer the hard questions of-Why do difficult things happen? Although we both pondered different options- and put our thoughts into words.

God is all knowing and powerful. God has a plan for each of his children and through the gifts of grace in each of his children's life-he plays an active role. Although, we do not understand why different events happen in our life- through our faith we are able to over come the hard times. We turn to our faith, grace, and prayer to help us through the hard times.  God is active in our lives-one just has to look at the people, events, and creation around you.   Below is a great quote that allows us to see how God plays an active role in our life:


Jess as we continued to talk made a very valid point as well- "And maybe this is a stretch, but think of it this way. . .John 3:16 For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life. As Jesus was dying on that cross, he begged God "Forgive them Father, for they do not know what they have done". The ones that have hurt Jesus the most--the ones that were KILLING Jesus, he still loved. Still wanted to believe there was good in them."

You see God plays an active role and lifts a person up. Jess and I discussed the way that through our friendship we are able to see GOD active and His love in our life.  Thank GOD for blessings of friendship life Jess. 


Praise GOD!
