Your Question:
Why did God allow this to happen to me and not someone else?
Answer:
As I reflect on the question of why God allowed certain things to happen to me, I'm reminded of the words of Christ. He didn't come to make me jump through hoops, but to save me from my sins. His suffering was for me, so that I could live. He loves me and wants me to latch on to Him, not because He's on a divine ego trip, but because He wants me to be saved. I've had times in my life when I've questioned God's wisdom, wondering why He allowed certain things to happen. Like the time I broke my foot, I wondered why God didn't intervene to prevent it. But I've come to understand that God's ways are not our ways, and that natural laws must work in regular ways if our actions are to have any meaning. It's not about God testing me or punishing me, but about Him using those experiences to make me useful in His hands. As a pastor, I've seen many people struggle with feelings of guilt and shame, wondering why God allowed certain things to happen to them. But the truth is, God's verdict on us has already been passed. We were accepted by Him not because we were righteous, but because of Christ's sake. His decision is final, and there's no new evidence that can change His mind. My prayer is that people would come to understand this truth and rely on God's love and wisdom, rather than relying on worldly opinion.
