Following Jesus is about living through pink slips, and divorce courts. And following Jesus is about living through heartaches and tragedy. And getting that bad news from the doctor and not getting accepted into that college that you want to go to. Following Jesus is about your boyfriend breaking up with you or your husband walk out the door on you. And being a Christian does not take away the bad stuff.
But being Christian is learning to trust God through the bad stuff knowing that He has a purpose for everything that you're going through, if you let Him. The reason following Jesus is so great is not because our circumstances are always great, because we know that's not gonna happen. But following Jesus is so incredibly great because when something bad happen to your life, or tragedy or your health or whatever it is that happen in your life, you can have peace knowing that God has not forgotten you. And He has a purpose, and He has a plan, and you can have peace knowing that and that is so great about following Jesus.
When you were stripped of everything in your life, the only thing that you and I should have is our faith and a God who knows exactly what's going on.
