Listening to Christian songs every morning is one of my morning routines. And I can say that it always set my mood every day - always feeling blessed for another day.
Today, as I listen to this album: “We Are All God’s Children” I remember Jesus said,
"Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these." (Matthew 19:14)
This passage always reminds me that we are all GOD’s children. Even how old we grow here on earth God never stop being a Father to us. He is our Father. He is the perfect Father. We know in our hearts that God is our provider, that He, our Father can help us in any situation we are facing. And as a Father, God doesn't want to see us struggling or being hurt of anything. We always run to Him every time we are in need of help because just like when we are little we always run to our earthly parents every time we need help - support, care, or love.

But admit it...admit that here on earth we are all prone in any kinds of pain. And some of us tend to question God every time we are experiencing pain: “If God loves me, why He allows me to get hurt? Why He allow these things to happen? I thought He is my protector and provider but where is He when I needed Him?”
Let me tell you this, God loves you and He will always will. God is an UNCHANGING GOD. His love endures forever and there’s nothing can ever compare to the love of God. Don’t blame God because of your hardships. Your hardships doesn’t come from God, it comes from the enemy. And if you think God allows your hardships to hurt you, don’t believe that! God has reasons why He allow things to happen. Believe that it is for your own good. Yes! You read that right - for your own good! God is good in turning pains into gains. And He will use your pains to bring you to His gains - to God’s best. So don’t be afraid to face any hardships of your life. God will use that to mold you, to develop you, and to prepare you for your future gains. And that explains this passage:
Trials and Temptations
“Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything... Blessed is the man who perseveres under trial, because when he has stood the test, he will receive the crown of life that God has promised to those who love him.”
(James 1:2-4,12)
Believe that God is upto something that He is in control of everything. You may not know all the reasons why it happened.. but you don’t have to know every reason for you to continue. All you have to do is trust God. Trust Him that He will bring you into something great, something even beyond your expectations.
And keep in mind that God always come in proportion to our needs so don’t worry. Don’t be afraid to face all your trials. Life can be unfair but always remember that God is fair and He is always faithful. He's always there beside you and He is helping you to grow.
So today, be proud! Be proud because you are experiencing hardships, it just mean you’re alive! Be proud because you have given privilege - privilege to be with God, to know Him more and to feel His love during your trials. And be proud because you are a child of God that you have a Father that is always there to protect you, guide you, and loves you for who you are. So never be afraid and always remember that we are all God’s children that God loves us, His children.
God bless!
