Just finished reading another chapter in "Hope". The author asked the question - "why are we serving God?" Amidst pain, suffering, and loss, it's easy to question God. She poses another question - "Do You not see me? Do You not love me?" And the answer to those questions? "If I turn away from Jesus, where will I go?"
I am at a point in my life where I am questioning God. I am asking that same question - Do You not see me, God? I know God and love Him with all my heart, but still feel confused and hurt. I feel like I have been living my life the way God wants me to and striving to deepend my relationship with Him. Despite that, I feel a distance between myself and God. Hurt, feeling alone and longing for something to take these feelings away, I just have to continue reminding myself that God is still here with me. So, as "Hope" says "I follow Jesus not because of what He can do for me, but because of what He's already done for me on the cross." I have to remind myself that I'm not here to 'feel good'. I am here to love Jesus and show others His love as well. That is why I follow God.
Why do you follow God? (Or, why not?)
