I used to think that if I believed the right stuff and didn’t do much wrong, I’d have fewer problems than the next guy. There may be some truth to that, but I don’t think that theory is in the Bible. So many characters in the Bible experiences trouble, predicaments and conflict. They weee flawed individuals living among others with flaws. There re no guarantees for green lights, olen doors, parking spaces, great health, and agreeable people surrounding us. But He invites us into a relationship by surrendering everything to Him. He is gentle and walks with us, carrying our burdens with us. We do not know the outcome of our issues, but we know the One who has open arms, inviting us to Himself
“Let the attitude of your life be a continual willingness to "go out" in dependence upon God, and your life will have a sacred and inexpressible charm about it that is very satisfying to Jesus. You must learn to "go out" through your convictions, creeds, or experiences until you come to the point in your faith where there is nothing between yourself and God.” - Oswald Chambers, My Utmost for His Highest
