Have You Ever.....???

Have you ever lost your faith? I know I have, it was a period in my life, when actually I was turning or neglecting my faith. It seemed that at every corner in my life, it turned into something bad happening. It was like the saying "If it weren't for bad luck I'd have no luck at all." I began to doubt my faith. I still had some faith, just enough to question it. I believed I was a good person. I tried to help others and tried to live a good life. I believed I should live a good life for God to give me things I needed in life. But it seemed to me, that once I got some thing I needed, HE took it a way (not literally.) I began to wonder why "these" things were happening to me? I thought He had abandoned me? I saw others that were just like me going through things like I was and would tell them there was a reason for it. Yeah, I know....Practice what you preach, but I thought God knew how strong I was and that I was a good person, so really "Why was He doing this to ME?" The way I saw it was the other person, always had had things "good" happen to them so now it was their turn to have some thing "bad" happen. I was thinking I had ALL this bad happening to me, when am I getting a break? I even rationalized that God should know how strong I was, so still why ME? Finally that's when I realized that all the thinking I could do on my own to rationalize why bad things were happening to me... I realized it was just to ME. Why just ME? Then I realized that I needed help from Him!! It was then that I regained my faith and He came into my life. Now, some people might not believe or have faith, but it's like when you've broken a bone, you really don't realize what it's like until it happens to you. I realized from that moment that He was with me all the time, I just didn't realize it. Once I began seeking Him for help was when He took away the "bad." When I quit doubting my faith and even started sharing that He is with us, only then did things get better. I have never doubted Him again. I think that why the world is the way it is today, is that some where along the way, people lost heir faith. People don't help others, they don't pray for an intervention for things to get better, we're domicile and think things should be this way and accept it. We need to start thinking and praying for others. Share our experiences, that we all need to have a faith in our life. ~Peace~ photo courtesy of pixabay
