All for the Love of You

Many people ask me the question, "If there's a God and He is good, why does He allow bad things to happen to good people?" Psalm 14:3 (NKJV) says, "They have all turned aside, they have together become corrupt; There is none who does good, No, not one." Romans 3:23 says, "for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God." That includes you and me. God allows people to have a choice to love or to hate; to do good or bad to others; to choose to love Him...or not. There was a price for giving us that choice. Sin entered the world along with pain, suffering and despair. Adam and Eve's choice to disobey God brought sin into the world, and it will always be here until Jesus returns for us. But there is always hope with Jesus. He endured the most horrific kinds of abuse at our own hands; including giving up His life to be crucified in the most horrible way. And yet, there's hope for us through His abundant grace and mercy because of that cross. Psalm 30:5b (NKJV) says, "Weeping may endure for a night, But joy comes in the morning." Come with me and see how Jesus has stayed faithfully by my side through many forms of abuse: rape, incest, physical abuse, mental abuse, emotional and sexual abuse; and He is still by my side to this day. He was there with me through the abuse: the pain, the mental anguish, the tormenting emotions, the tears and seemingly endless suffering and grief; as well as the horrific memories and flashbacks after the abuse that felt like the rape was happening all over again with every memory. He experienced it ALL with me as He led me through the chaos to the other side. He's walked with me, talked with me, held me and been right by my side, going through all of the abuse with me that I endured. All to show you that He wants to be there through it all with you too. There is nothing that you've been through that He hasn't seen, watched you endure and gone through it with you already. God is a gentleman; He will not force Himself on you. He will patiently wait for you to ask Him for help and healing. Open your heart to His healing power and the pages of this book, and you will begin to see the hope you truly have in Jesus. He chooses to endure all that you endure, All For The Love of You.
