Your Question:
Why did God give me such a difficult path?
Answer:
My friend, I can sense the weight of your struggles and the feeling of being useless to God. But let me tell you, God is not about making our lives easier, but about transforming us into the image of Christ. When we focus on the obstacles in our path, we miss seeing the road ahead and the final destination. The enemy wants us to get stuck on our problems, but we must recognize and admit what's keeping us from God. You see, God's purpose is not to get us into a comfortable relationship with Him, but to get us into a right-standing relationship with Him and others. He wants us to know that we can't do it on our own, that we need a Savior. Jesus suffered for us so that we could live, and He doesn't ask us to believe because He's on a divine ego trip, but because He loves us and wants us to latch on to Him. We must understand that we can't do it ourselves, and that's why we need Jesus. Don't assume that God is making you jump through unnecessary hoops. He's not trying to make your life harder, but to preserve it, out of love. When we're faced with roadblocks, we must narrow our focus and interests to one thing: seeking God with our whole heart. As Isaiah says, "Ho! Everyone who thirsts, come to the waters" (Isaiah 55:1). Are you thirsty for God, or are you complacent and indifferent? Seek Him, and you will find.
