Why

There is a question which never
seems to be answered.
A question which each and every human being asks: Why?
Why me, why this?
Why do I have to suffer?
Why does it have to hurt?
Gods' answer comes through; not in an instant, but it does.
Because I have chosen you.
I want you to learn, to grow stronger,
so that you may help others.
We may not understand it,
at least not now, but God will come through
for all of us in time.
The answers lie in actions, not in words.
If we had to know why, now,
we would not be able to learn,
grow stronger or help others.
Most importantly,
we would not seek Him.
