where is He?

"For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal." 2 Corinthians 4:17-18

I understand. Sometimes it seems like God doesn't cares at all. And it makes me sick at the stomach, knowing life is so unfair. Why must good, innocent people suffer unjustly? 

Then at some point in my frustrations and anger, i remember we were never promised life would be just or easy. The disciples are my resounding harsh reminder of this, as well as the hell Jesus endured on earth.  This world is full of pain and heartache. Only God can get us from one moment to the next. Due to our freewill and others, He doesn’t fix it, but He can bring comfort in His promises to us. Sometimes that is all we have, and it somehow has to be enough for the moment. 

Whether our pain or heartache is on a national, community, family or personal level, God is fully aware of it. When our heart is crying tears, and we cannot see His hand, we must trust His heart, and know for certain that He has not forsaken us.

"...for we walk by faith, not by sight." 2 Corinthians 5:7

Hold on... He hasn't left us. And more importantly, He's coming back.

we are loved and chosen by God,

may we live, love and do like we believe it,
