Your Question:

Why did this happen to me and not someone else?

Answer:

I have been asking myself this question for a long time. Why did this happen to me and not someone else? I must admit, it has been a struggle to come to terms with it. I'm a pastor, and I've always tried to be a good Christian, but sometimes I feel like God is testing me. Maybe I'm not as strong as I thought I was. I've been reflecting on my life and my relationships, and I've come to realize that I've been living with mixed motives. I wanted to change others and make life easier for myself, rather than truly loving them because Christ has loved me. It's a hard truth to face, but I'm trying to be honest with myself and seek forgiveness from God.

As a pastor, I've seen many people struggle with their own personal issues, and I've often wondered why some of them are spared while others are not. But the more I reflect on it, the more I realize that it's not about me being spared or not. It's about God's plan and purpose for my life. I'm not sure what that is, but I'm trying to trust in His goodness and sovereignty. I've been reading a lot of science fiction novels lately, and I've come to appreciate the idea of a larger cosmic plan that's beyond our human understanding.

It's funny, as a Cubs fan, I've often wondered why we don't win more games. But I've come to realize that it's not about me or my team being better or worse than others. It's about the game of baseball and the variables that come into play. Maybe that's the same with life. Maybe it's not about why I'm going through a tough time and someone else isn't. Maybe it's just about living in the present and trusting in God's goodness, even when I don't understand. That's a hard lesson to learn, but I'm trying to take it to heart.
