...and just trust!

God will never, never, never let us down if we have faith and put our trust in Him. He will always look after us.

                                                                         Mother Teresa

There are times I weep and ask God questions; I sometimes feel remorseful  about my past and even wish I could turn back the clock just to do things right. I sometimes feel terrible especially knowing that I can’t correct some mistakes I have made. I am sure I’m not the only one going through this; there are people from all walks of life who just wish they had not done something terrible that would still haunt them.

I was just going reading an inspirational book and I came across this touching piece from Mother Teresa. I have always known that God will never let His children down but how people despise you when you get into trouble makes me wonder whether God is really looking after us. Well, I don’t let what mortal beings do bother me but I know for sure that there are some people who are just wondering if God is indeed looking after them because of what they are going through. What even baffles me is when servants of God also despise and reject people. A man once told of the hardships he went through when he decided to leave his village for Accra to seek greener pastures. You won’t believe that this guy slept in one of the big churches in Ghana and he was robbed of his belongings and sacked from the church. He was asked not to sleep there again and that made me ask myself if these people are indeed working for God because God has taught us to feed the hungry and care for the needy. Another I heard was about this lady who was punished at church for getting pregnant out of wedlock and that makes me wonder, ”where else will she go if the school sacks the teenage mother and the family also rejects her?” . I thought the church was like a place of refuge! Well, who am I to judge? That was just by the way!

I remember back in my junior high school days when I used to tell people that life was like playing chess.  Truth is, I didn’t even understand that myself though I preached that but now things are clearer now. You think you are on a right path till you face a bigger challenge which looks at you in the face and seems to say “CHECKMATE!” and that is where you see those who love you and the others who were just waiting for you to fall. I always talk about the goodness of the Lord and how He rescues us even when there is no hope. I am a living testimony and I always tell people that I even find it amazing that I’m alive but to His glory! I’m alive and enjoying perfect health.

You may wonder why I’m writing this but like I said earlier, I know some people need this to move on. They need to know that they are not the only ones going through regret; they are not the only ones soaking their pillows with tears at night neither are they the only ones asking God questions. All I can say is this: never lose hope even when life seems unfair. Have faith even when the road is unclear and don’t forget to pray until something happens (PUSH)! Just remember that because He lives, you can face tomorrow and learn to trust Him through your trials. He shall surely be there!!!

As long as the sun shines in the morning, trust me, there’s gonna be a better day! :)
