Exploring God's Beauty

WHY ME? 



Hey Guys! So a few months ago I went to Jinja with a pastor that was visiting from Michigan and my family. We had an awesome time especially since I got to take a break from 6th grade. Thank you Jesus! Haha.

If you don't know what Jinja is, - which you probably don't but that's okay - to put it short, it's a town that the Nile River flows through.

So, yeah, your looking at the Nile. Sweet, huh?

It was probably one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen. Man, God created all of that. And, even more!!

Sometimes, you don't really know what you have until you stop and take a deep breath. Just thank him.

When you live here, staying here just gets normal. I know when people come over they're all like "WOW! You live in Africa!" and I'm just like "Yeah........" Haha.

Okay, how many people get to live in Africa? Really? When I think about it, I feel pretty special. Out of all the billions of people in this world, God chose me to live here from good 'ole Tennessee.

Why me? That question can be a grateful or regretful question. "God, why did this bad thing have to happen to me?" or "God, why did you choose to bless me?"

I have an answer to both of those questions for you. I maybe young, but I know the truth. No matter what people say, God doesn't plan destruction in your life. It's the devil.

Why would God plot destruction if He created you? Honestly? The Holy Word says that the Devil comes to steal, kill, and destroy. (John 10:10). DESTROY- DESTRUCTION.

Now if you think the good "WHY ME?" the answer is simple, because He loves you. He wants good things to come into your life and bless you greatly for serving him.

I know that sometimes I catch myself thinking "I want to go home" "Nothings fair" "Everyones so mean to me" But you know what? They're all lies. Nothing but lies. Then I realize, God has given me so much that I can't help but thank him.

So now that you have read this post, I want you (the reader) to thank God for everything that he has given to you and spend more time with him. I want you to spend more time with your Creator now than ever before.

You can never be too close to God. There is more to him to learn than ever before.

Have a beautiful day!
