The mystery of human behavior never ends. What explanation do we have for the pain and hurt we see? Is God responsible for it all?

Sometimes you want answers from God. You get upset or frustrated with how your life turned out, so you blame God. What’s his answer? Would it be better if he waved a magic wand to make it all go away? No more hurt, no more worries… and what about love?

The greatest love is not an emotion. It’s a sacrifice. When we hurt, bleed and struggle for others the heavens rejoice in our humanity. Christ experienced this in the most profound way. For this he is glorified. The intensity of his love changes your history forever.

For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God sent the Son into the world, not to condemn the world, but that the world might be saved through him. 

John 3:16-17

Are you tired from the struggle? Just keeping up with chores, bills, responsibilities and family issues can be overwhelming. And what if you have a personal crisis? What happens when you have really big issues to deal with?

To face important challenges, sometimes it’s worth returning to the beginning. Go back to the moment when you first experienced the love of God.

How did you feel when you finally said “yes” to our Lord? Do you remember? That moment lives forever. It can restore you. Return to the beginning and be born again.

Have you not known? Have you not heard?
The Lord is the everlasting God,
    the Creator of the ends of the earth.
He does not faint or grow weary,
    his understanding is unsearchable.
He gives power to the faint,
    and to him who has no might he increases strength.

Very few things are constant in the world. People and situations change all the time — but God’s Word is eternal.

When you struggle or doubt, nothing helps you as much as reading the Bible. Sometimes even prayer isn’t the best option since you might be confused. God’s Word is stable. You have it right there in front of your eyes. When you read the Word, you receive clarity and purpose. Then later – in prayer – the message sinks in deep.

When things get tough, stop what you are doing and open up your Bible. You might not want to, but do it anyway. It’s miraculous how the Scriptures can restore you.

Reading the Bible should be part of your everyday routine. God’s living Word is Jesus Christ. It’s a wonderful mystery. When you read the Holy Scriptures, your soul gets fed directly by the Son of God.

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God; all things were made through him, and without him was not anything made that was made. In him was life, and the life was the light of men. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.

John 1:1-5

And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, full of grace and truth; we have beheld his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father.

John 1:14

Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me; for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.

Matthew 11:28-30
