Why God?

Why am I so broken, so dumb.............so human? 6 months ago, I asked the question, "Why God?" Actually, it was more of a passing thought, as I stuggled to get through each day. You, see, I wasn't in daily communication with my Lord. He was always there, of course, but I was so blinded to my own sorrow, my self-pity, and my anger.

I couldn't bring myself to do the work of daily giving myself over to my Savior. I think I was scared. What if I failed? What if surrender was to big a challenge for me? When I decide to do something, there's no stopping me. But this, if I couldn't do this surrender thing, it'd be all over.

Well, the good news is that I've decided to give this a try, this surrender thing. It has been hard - sometimes painful - work. The bad news is I can't do it... That is without Jesus right there every step of the way.

So, here, in the early hours of Thanksgiving Day, I am asking myself, again, "Why God?" Why are you choosing to bless me so abundantly? Why are You so willing to show Your mercy, grace, and peace to me? I couldn't even boldly cry out to you in the darkness.

And I hear Jesus saying, "Because, my little girl, I love you."

Kelly,
You are so right and you have such a great message. We are always asking "Why God?" but we don't always wait for the answer or just believe that it is His plan. Thanks for the reminder!
