You tell me, God.

Living a Chrsitian life is so hard. Very, very hard.

On top of that God expects everyone to be like him. And that is not possible. Still St.Paul insists that we always strive to do so.

Why would anyone ever be a Christian if it is so tough? Why would anyone want to believe Jesus is the Saviour and accept him in their heart if most of the things that are going to happen in Christian life is tough? Things like forgiving, forgiving and forgetting, reconciliation, loving in spite of being hurt, loving the person who hurt you, loving another person as much as you love yourself, including your emeny (if you have one). And when troubles come Jesus doesn't readily, or otherwise appear and hold your hand. You are expected to believe that He never leaves you because you are His own creation and "a masterpiece made to do good works." (Eph 2:10)
Do You have an answer , God? Yes, there is peace that passeth all understanding. There is the love through people, there is the grace to go through any trouble (at the end of which you wonder how did I even survive?), there are other loving people, yes, there are all the blessings in the form of a nice house good food, great youth group and friends there, great books to read, nice family, email and internet, music and all of it, paani puri...hmmm...
I have all that too, eh? Yes, I'd like to still complain because I don't know why you bring about trouble in the form of following all that You want me to do. Can't you make life just perfect as it is promised to be in heaven?Why not make it good for all? And sit back an relax? You wouldn't even have to listen to all those prayers and music people offer You. Why all that from ol' sinful earth? Why not make it clean with a Word, just like you created heaven and earth? Why do You bring trouble upon yourself? Why make Yourself sad by seeing all thr trouble of the people You created? Why let them be exploited? Why not just banish Satan and evil and make it non-existent? What are you doing there? Why so much time for deliverance? Trust, faith, yes. But why? Eh?
