Have Faith And Everything Will Be Fine

I've been trying to do my best to be active in our community, attending worship and some activities that concerns about Jesus. But as what I always hear from some members of the community, that the more you try to serve and get closer to the Lord, the more problems you encounter. And true as it is, because I've been going through a lot of difficult things lately. And everytime I will serve the Lord, problems get along my way. 

I've been told that it's not God who's behind all of the problems, but it's the evil spirit that's trying to make those problems so you won't continue to serve God. But by praying and having a strong faith to God, the problems will be solved, you just have to lay all of them to God, and He will take care of everything. 

Sometimes, I can't help but to question God, I know I don' have the right to, but I really could not help specially when everything seems to go wrong.

And this leads me to this story that has been my favorite and this really strengthens my faith to God.

"One day, I asked God a bunch of beautiful flowers but instead, He gave me a cactus with thorns.

Later, I asked Him to give me butterflies but instead, He gave me worms.

I was disappointed and I wept. But few days after, I have noticed that the cactus bloomed with beautiful flowers and the worms soon became butterflies.

God wants us to wait for the right time for He knows all the best that He can give."

Might be cactus and worm for now but I believe that in God's perfect timing they will also turn to beautiful flowers and colorful butterflies. 

Philippians 4:19  
“My God will supply all your needs according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus.”
