Jesus, Our BFF, by Rev. Carroll Fitzgerald
You've no doubt heard of the saying, or the book title, or perhaps have seen a meme, saying "Why Do Bad Things Happen to Good People?" In times of trouble, do you ever think that God is not watching, or that He doesn't care about you? God created you; he named you to be His. He is always with you. Have you also heard the story or no doubt seen the "Footsteps" image somewhere in your lifetime? He is always with you -- or carrying you, as "Footsteps" relays when you can't find the strength to go on. And as for the "bad things that happen to good people", have you considered that some of these pickles you've gotten yourself into, are just that... circumstances created by you and not God - although He is still with you in that situation or in any storm. He wants us to be our Best Friend Forever. Never doubt that He loves you and is Always With You, and that includes every Joyful moment of your life, too. Turn to him when you need carried; turn to him when something just happens to "work out" or when He finds your keys for you....everything is included!
