Bad Choices Doesn’t Mean You Are A Bad Person

As we go through life, we make choices that, upon reflection, prove to be bad for us. It can’t be stressed enough that just because you make bad choices, it doesn’t mean you are a bad person. When we look at scripture, there are countless examples of holy men and women who made some bad choices, but what they didn’t understand (and neither do we) at the time was that these were all part of God’s plan for their lives. I think that is where many believers really struggle. ( as do I)

However, the Lord Jesus Christ died on the cross for ALL of your sins, and you are forgiven. So will you continue to make bad decisions? Sure as will I, but that doesn’t mean we are bad people.

Why Me?

As we go through tough times there does come at some point that it is only natural that you ask yourself this question. Why me? It took 10 years of being a caregiver for my beloved wife ( and her death) and some potentially damaging news about my own health that I finally allowed myself to ask that question. Why so long you might ask? I have no idea. In many ways it is probably a miracle in itself that I haven’t allowed myself to ask that question long ago..

However, it really shouldn’t come as a surprise at all and frankly it’s part of the human experience. Throughout Scripture there are countless examples if people wondering why me? Even Jesus Christ had these immortal words “my god my god why have you forsaken me”? Or in other words he was asking his father in heaven the why me question.

So if you are asking yourself the why me question this day I have another question for you to ponder. As a believer the question becomes as follows. Why not me? You have The Lord Jesus Christ on your side while no believers don’t have that sense if comfort.
