Life's like a rollercoaster

Life is never straight and smooth, its never easy. In fact, life is like a rollercoaster, there will be ups and downs. People tend to misunderstand Christianity, they think that when you've accepted Christ as Lord and Savior, life will be smooth and easy going. Everything will be perfect, just as you've always want. But the truth is that God has never promise us that. In 1Peter verses 6 to 9, Jesus said that we will face trials in our lifes.

6In this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while you may have had to suffer grief in all kinds of trials. 7These have come so that your faith—of greater worth than gold, which perishes even though refined by fire—may be proved genuine and may result in praise, glory and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed. 8Though you have not seen him, you love him; and even though you do not see him now, you believe in him and are filled with an inexpressible and glorious joy, 9for you are receiving the goal of your faith, the salvation of your souls.

1Peter 1:6-9

The bottomline of all this trials and downs is faith, the faith we have in Jesus. It is to test our faith in Jesus, since we have not seen him, we love him. And even though we can't see him now, we still believe in Him. Thats the kind of faith that me and you should have. No matter what situation you are in, you can always reach out to God, as he had reached out to us first. God will never leave us alone and don't care about us. If He puts you into a trial, He will always be with you through the whole process. Though sometimes we just can't see what he had planned for us, we just can't feel his presence, we feel that God has ignore us and left us all alone to handle the problem alone. You are wrong! ABSOLUTELY WRONG! God love us so much that while we were still his enemies, he send his only Son down to die for us. This is one thing we can always give thanks for, no matter our life is up or down. We should be thankful that Jesus had rescued us from God's wrath and judgement.

Let everything that has breath praise the Lord.

Psalm 150:6
