When we go trough traumatic or devastating events in our lives or those close to us, we often think about what if this hadn’t happened, what if we’d done something earlier or what if we’d just paid more attention. What ifs can be destructive themselves as ultimately considering them will no change what has happened and in many cases will make folk feel guilty about thing that did or did not happen prior to the event.
Yes, life events can be cruel and devastating but they happen for a reason. God has plan for us, and these life events are all part of His ultimate plan for us.
The most important “What if” turned out to be reality, God does exist, He did send His Son to earth and He did die on a cross at Calvary just so we could be forgiven. So even if you never debate any other “What Ifs”, I pray that you believe that in God and in Christ as they are reality and not just a “what if”.
