Don't let others hold you back
... they were deeply offended and refused to believe in him. Matthew 13:57
'How can God exist?' they ask. 'There is too much suffering in the world,' they continue. 'If He does exist, I don't want to know Him, because He must be cruel, sitting up there in the lap of luxury whilst people die through lack of food and water or from disease,' they conclude. So many people become offended by God, without even trying to get to know Him. Sometimes bad experiences - death, illness, abuse, bullying, pressure - can cause someone to believe that God couldn't possibly love them. Sometimes people believe the negative gossip there is about God and choose to believe He's not there, never searching for the truth. Sometimes a person can have a negative experience of Church and just like the people in Jesus' town they refuse to believe in him. What about you? Do you ever doubt the existence of God? Are you easily persuaded by the opinions of your friends or family, instead of getting to know the greatest friend of all, Jesus? Be encouraged today. God doesn't stop existing when people decide He's not real! He doesn't panic when you struggle to believe in Him some days. 'Don't worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. Then you will experience God's peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus' (Philippians 4:6 NLT).
