“You Are Here”
Categories: GOD, RELATIONSHIPS, SELFHow do you explain the fact that I exist involuntarily?Sincerely,
Wish I Wasn’t Here
Dear Wish I Wasn’t Here,
Everything is created involuntarily – get used to it. A house has no say in whether it is built, a baby doesn’t get to decide when it is conceived, and a car doesn’t get to decide what model and make it will become… all of those things are decided by their respective creators. One of the biggest problems with today’s society is that we believe that we are the masters of our own lives and that we should have a say in everything, but that simply isn’t true. Everyone has masters they are subject to, whether it be an employer, a parent, or the government. Everyone must accept that they have authorities that they are accountable to. God is our Creator (Col 1:16-17), and we are subject to His laws and His standards. We should be grateful that our Creator is such a loving, merciful, and benevolent Deity (1 Jn 4:10). You have no say in when or where you are born – God appoints your days (Acts 17:26). However, you do have a choice as to what you will do with your time here on Earth. Choose the Lord and be blessed (Josh 24:15).
