Ever wonder??

Do you ever wonder or give serious thought to why God let's things happen to us that aren't pleasing to us.

I guess the key word here is pleasing, there are things that happen to us and we certainly don't like them. We even go as far a to say "That's not of or from God". If I'm reading Rom. 8:28 correctly it says that ALL things work TOGETHER to them that LOVE the Lord.

Throughout the years I have noticed in my life that the things that happen or have happened will eventually work for me not against me. I can reference them or I can relate to them to help me out of situations in my life at this or a future time. The trials I go through today are building blocks tomorrow.

So is it pleasing, is it easy, is it enjoyable, most likely not. But (a conditional word) enduring, trusting, having faith through Christ I will overcome. So even if we ask "What If"? I find that God is the master of allowing us to get to the "What If" points in our lives.

The way I relate to this is from a quote of a friend of mine, "Life is always choices". When It comes to "What If" we need to stop and take a minuet and decide what path we will take. The FASTER we do this the faster we can overcome. If we don't we allow the enemy or ourselves time to take root into the matter.

An interesting thing to remember,,, There were two trees in the garden. Again choices "What If"
