Are we alone?

Everyday we are put to the test, whether it be a math test, social test and even a test about ourselves.  Whether we pass or fail, the question is who do we look to for the answers?  Well most people will say "God will give us the answers."  What if I told you that is wrong, what if I told that God doesn't give you the answers, what would you do then?  Well for most of us, we feel alone, we feel that no one is there for us if God isn't giving us the answers.  But listen there's more.  Just because isn't giving you the answers doesn't mean he isn't there, you see God is like a parent.  When your raising a child, do you tell everything he needs to know to do a job, or do you teach him and then say "You can do it, just think about it."  At some point in our lives, God lets our hand go to walk on our own.   But here is the weirdest part of it all.  God puts strange people in our lives, people we may know and people that we have no idea why they are here. This is where I am going to blow you mind away, to teach us.  Every person in our lives even the ones we just pass on the road or see on tv, family members and friends, all of them are placed in our lives to teach us, to comfort us and to learn from.  Just because we can't see it all the time and it may be hard to pull the blinders from our eyes and minds to see that it is God putting these people in our lives.

I will give you an example, growing up I was surrounded by people that made my life very difficult and I allowed myself to change for evil and toward God but once in a while someone came into my life that helped me see who I was and who I wanted to be.  For example, sitting in Lee County Jail, I was angry, I was in there for fighting, driving with no insurance and so much more.  Now sitting there in my cell I was yelling everything that I could think of, planning and scheming how I can get out to the world again.  But the chief of police took me into his office and asked me "How are you feeling?"  Now that took me off guard, people didn't ask that back then.  It made me think how I am feeling inside and I realized for the first time that I was a very angry person, he told me that I was a good guy but just lost.  That was my first step in my life to becoming a man of love and not hatred.  Now things didn't change over night for me, it took work.  But looking back at the years, God has always been there through every person in my life.  

Now lets look at your life, in your life how many people can you look at that has helped you.  The answer is everyone, some are more obvious than others but you will be amazed to see that even the person you may have only glanced at and it gave your stomach a knot, or made you think about your life.

You see if God gave us everything in the world, with out letting us fall we would be very spoiled brats.  If God gave us nothing we would be filled with hatred, with out a care in the world.  But God has let our hands go.  Giving you the knowledge to make it into wisdom by placing people in our lives, and some times we ask "Why did have to be so severe?"  We are sometimes placed into situations that make no sense, we are beaten, lied to, abused and just lost.  But if God didn't care, he wouldn't give you the oputunity to learn and grow.  Look at your lives now, are you in a better life because of it, can you help others?  I can vouch that God is in your life, mingling the lines of our lives with others, for more lessons yet to come so we can build ourselves a life of love.  If you can't ask and maybe we can find these people in your lives with Gods help.
