“God really sucks!”--- This expression is a common line to each and every person who is in trouble with their lives. But is it fair to curse God? Are those failures of people his responsibility? Especially if all misfortunes in an individual’s life resulted because of the person’s lame decisions in life.<o:p></o:p></div>

The usual attitude of a person whenever having a problem is to divert his or her attention by self-indulging to different addictive activities such as drinking alcohol, gambling money, smoking cigarettes, or taking drugs. However, these vices will only make the situation worst. The possible result can be destroyed relationships, ruined plans or developed health problems.<o:p></o:p></div>

God let a person be in a hellish situation to teach a lesson. For that person to openly communicate with him, to handle problems based on his teachings and to strengthen one's faith. Does he really suck? Definitely NO! He loves all his people unconditionally.<o:p></o:p></div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As we live here on earth, we tend to focus on achieving our own goals in life. These goals may be to earn more money, to buy a new car, to own a house, to travel around the world, to possess luxurious items, and a lot more. Getting all of these might be our standard here on earth, but things change when we continue our lives in eternity. All worldly possessions of our will vanish in an instance.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Eventually, our values in life will start to change as we begin to reflect on things. Then, we will choose to focus on our spiritual growth rather than on our material growth. All of these changes may not be based on the community standards, but 100% based on God's standards. We need to do all of these to prepare us in our lives for eternity. </div>

We are made by God for his purpose. He designed our body structure, our talent and our attitude solely for his purpose. <br />
<br />
So don't get upset when all your plans aren't working as what you expect. God planned our existence into this world for his purpose.<br />
<br />
<h4>
How his plans greatly affect my life?</h4>
All the years of my existence here on earth, I felt like I'm always struggling with the things I have wanted for myself. Most of the time I get easily upset if things aren't working according to my plans. My outlook in life is greatly affected by the problems that surrounded me.<br />
<br />
However, I've started to learn the art of letting go. It isn't an easy process, but worth it. The most effective way for me to start the process is by having a personal conversation with God at anytime. I always pray to him that if my plan is in accordance to his plan, he will find a way to make things right. Otherwise, I will be greatful for whatever result he will give to me. It kills my high expectations toward things based on my plans, which helps me maintain my positive outlook in life.<br />
<br />
I can assure you that living without expectation means decreasing your burden in life. Remember what God told us? Do your part and he takes care of the rest.<br />
<br />
<h4>
How about you? Is your plan working just right for you?</h4>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Many days have come and gone</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Many years seem to have been wasted</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Round and round like an aimless journey</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Seems like we’ve been here before</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
What on earth am I here for?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Come my friend, stop for a while</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Life must be more than just existin’</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Round and round like a carousel ride</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Shall we end where we began?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Tell me so I’ll understand</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
[Refrain:]</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Let us begin to live this life</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Let us together seek it’s purpose</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Life is not a pointless venture</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Eternity is for sure</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Open up and receive this truth within your heart:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
“That God was smiling at your birth</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And has a purpose for your life”</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Sometimes it's hard to understand how God works in our lives. As if he continues to throw punches at our face which cause us too much pain. Pain making us feel very tired. Thus, we ended up crying at the end of the day as we just want to surrender all our hopes.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Despite of these experiences in our lives, we need to trust in his divine plans for our lives. The journey wouldn't be easy as doubt may arise because it seems like you're dealing with uncertainty. Only prayer can effectively help us to overcome everything.</div>

<b><i>"If God wants a thing to succeed - you can't mess it up. If He wants a thing to fail - you can't save it. Rest and just be faithful."</i></b></h2>
<div>
In this world where we tend to decide for ourselves, we forget about God's real plan for us. We do everything we want and put effort on it to achieve all of our goals. But no matter how much effort we did, we can't guarantee a positive result as always. Sometimes God puts us in trouble to learn and not to punish. For some people it takes time for them to succeed, some people seems like it's too early for them to fulfill their dream. Only Him can tell us when will be the right time for everything.</div>

<b>Thinking About My Purpose in Life</b></h2>
<i><b><span style="color: red;">Points to Ponder:</span></b></i><br />
When God's at the center of your life, you worship. When he's not, you worry.<br />
<br />
Before most unbelievers accept the Bible as credible they want to know that we are credible.<br />
<br />
Living with purpose is the only way to really live.<br />
<br />
<b><i><span style="color: red;">Verses to Remember:</span></i></b><br />
Many are the plans in a man's heart, but it is the Lord's purpose that prevails. - Proverbs 19:21 (NIV)<br />
<br />
For David... served the purpose of God in his own generation. - Acts 13:36 (NASB)<br />

<b>Thinking About My Purpose in Life</b></h2>
<i><b><span style="color: red;">Points to Ponder:</span></b></i><br />
Shared stories build a relational bridge that Jesus can walk across from your heart to others. <br />
<br />
While it is wise to learn from experience, it is wiser to learn from the experiences of others.<br />
<br />
God gives us different passions so that everything he wants done in the world will get done.<br />

God wants to say something to the world through me.<br />

Those who believe in the Son of God have the testimony of God in them. - 1 John 5:10a (GWT)<br />
<br />
Your lives are echoing the Master's Word... The news of your faith in God is out. We don't even have to say anything anymore --- you're the message! - 1 Thessalonians 1:8 (Msg)<br />
<br />
Be ready at all times to answer anyone who asks you to explain the hope you have in you, but do it with gentleness and respect. - 1 Peter 3:15b-16 (TEV)<br />
