Why?

Why do good people get hurt?

Why does life become such a chore?
Why do we feel so useless at times?
Why is there no good reason for crimes?
Does evil succeed where good does not?
How come they say...
Only the good die young...
Why does life go on when we are hurt?
Why do some survive and others succumb?
How do we learn resilience in life?
Can we do it all alone?
Do we just get on with our lives...
No matter what happens...
How come some make it while others...
Simply fall by the wayside...
What makes one person strong?
What makes another weak?
Does genetics affect our survival?
Where does the strength to resist sin originate?
Can we do any of this by ourselves?
It is written..."the sins of the fathers
Will be visited upon the children
unto the 3rd and 4th generation"
Does this mean that...
What our fathers did will affect us?
Yes indeed it does...
For example...
Alcoholism...how difficult is it for us to not drink?
When our father might have drank to excess...
Another example...
Post traumatic Stress Disorder
What our parents went through...
When they carried us within their womb...
Within their genes...
Before we were even born...

We may teach our children well
Yet at times they do things that we cannot explain
Actions that reflect back to our parents...
Grandparents...
Even further back through family history...

So many things are against us
And yet we have such a powerful promise...

We are made in His image
We are fearfully and wonderfully made
This imperfect perfection that we "are"
Human beings...
Can we even begin to understand how we are made?
Imperfect minds...
Within...
Perfect bodies...
God made us all...
