You were not born to suffer. You were not meant to suffer. You were born to succeed, to be happy. All the problems you see in your life right now, are not Gods plan. No father or mother would say, “I hope my child is born with defects, I want to see my child in jail, I hope my child gets sick and dies”, etc. No father or mother has evil plans for the child.

God is the creator. When he created man, he put Adam and Eve in the garden paradise. He did not put them in misery. He did not allow them to lack anything. They had EVERYTHING. They were the ones that messed up, by turning their backs on Him.

God wants you to have a complete life as well. He does not want you to live a “piece” of a life. If it were your birthday, and someone said they would give you a cake, but when the cake arrived, it was all eaten and there were only crumbs left, would you accept it? Would you be happy? Of course not. You would even feel insulted. And you should feel insulted to live a life of crumbs, whilst serving a God that is great.

We all know this passage when Jesus said:

I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly. John 10:10

Here Jesus makes it clear that the kind of life He came to give is abundant. So my friend, if you are suffering, sick, depressed, broken, lonely, miserable, know that God did not give that life to you. You have to give your life to Him one hundred percent and ask Him to give you the abundant life that He promised.

May the God of the Bible Bless You
