“I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.”
John 16:33
I used to think when something bad happened God was mad at me. I would react in a child like way and automatically feel guilty or believe that I was in trouble and caused it. Do you get like that too? I have learned in my walk that the Lord is not mad at me. He loves me. What I have discovered is my past manifested this reaction. For over twenty years, I worked in a very hostile and abusive work environment. My best efforts were never good enough, and I was always told what I did wrong, never what I did right. This emotional roller coaster took a toll on me, and I became fearful of getting in trouble. As a child of God, we will never be perfect therefore we will fall short, we will sin. We need to stop beating our self up when something does not go according to plan. We must stop over analyzing every life detail. The Bible tells us we will face trials and tribulations and He will hold our peace. So let us trust in God and remain joyful. And may we truly grasp how much He loves us..through good times and through bad.
