Temptation

Why does God allow us to be tempted? Why does God allow us to go through hardship? Why do bad things happen? If God is good why doesn’t he fix my life? All these questions come from a heart that is centered on itself and not on the things of God. When God made you it was not for you, but it was for himself. This is a very insulting revaluation for humans. We have been told that we are the top of the food chain, whatever we want we can get. We have taken the old catechism and changed it from “The Chief end of man is to glorify God and enjoy him forever,” and turned it into the chief end of man is to glorify himself and enjoy himself for a little under 100 years.
We have lost our God centeredness and moved into a realm of man centeredness, where everything we chose to do is ordained on whether or not it makes us happy, or if it is convenient for us. We give no thought to whether or not I am doing what God has called me to do, and if the time I have been given is being used in a way that glorifies God. No our time is used in vain attempts to fulfill our own selfish hearts. When in reality the commands of Christ are not burdensome for those who love him. Just like a lover will cross oceans and mountains to be with the one whom he loves, we should be crossing our fences to share the gospel with the ones closest to us.
This is my battle, this is my heart, I forget to put God first, and me last.
