Especially during a tough time, you might ask yourself, “Does God really care about me?” You wonder if he’s aware of your struggles, pain, and heartache. And if he’s aware, why does he let bad things happen?
“I try so hard to be good,” you think, and yet, things have never seemed to work out the way you want them.
In this article we will answer the question, “Does God really care about me?” You will understand and feel that there’s a reason for all you’re going through. And throughout it all, God really does care about you. That should give you confidence, no matter what season of life you’re going through.
You are a child of God
God is our loving Heavenly Father. He wants the best for us, and has a plan for our success and happiness. And because we’re children of God, we have all we need to succeed. In fact, God gave us each gifts, talents, and skills. Our personalities and characteristics shape who we are and help us make a unique contribution to the world.
As you ask yourself, “Does God really care about me?” try to understand what it means to be a child of God. If you are a son or daughter of God, how does that change your relationship with Him?
Bad stuff happens to good people
A part of mortal life is accepting the fact that bad things happen to good people. We don’t know all the reasons, and sometimes stuff happens as a result of being human. But we do know that it’s not a punishment. We live in a fallen world, with imperfect people all around us (including ourselves!).
Instead of getting upset and angry at God, try to understand and accept that bad stuff happens to good people. What can we learn from events like this? How can we change ourselves to make the world a little better?
God won’t give you more than you can handle
Something comforting to know is that God won’t give you more challenges, pain, or heartache than you can handle. Though it’s hard in the moment, take all the confidence you need in the fact that you will make it through.
He knows you perfectly, and you are strong enough to get through this. A lot of people come out the other end of their trials and, over time, see why they had to endure what they did. God, our Heavenly Father, knows us better than we know ourselves. The pain and suffering we went through all served a purpose, and we got through because we were capable of handling that.
Are you looking for the blessings and sunshine?
Sometimes we’re so wrapped up in our sorrows and challenges, it’s like a cloud of darkness enshrouds us. It’s hard to see the good in life, and everything seems dismal.
But it doesn’t have to be that way.
There are blessings, sunshine, and little signs of God’s love for us all around. When we look for these signs, we’ll find them.
