When Things Go Wrong

Went to church this morning and Pastor Watson preached on,'When Things Go Wrong'. I found the message very apt to my life. Especially now when I look back on my life. He mentioned that when things go wrong, go awry, it's God's way of getting us out of our comfort zone and bringing something better to us. I found it very true. It was as if God was speaking loud and clear to me. There were a couple of verses that he pointed out that struck me very much.

Proverbs 16:9 (New King James Version)
A man’s heart plans his way,
But the LORD directs his steps.

Proverbs 19:21 (New King James Version)
There are many plans in a man’s heart,
Nevertheless the LORD’s counsel—that will stand.

Romans 8:28 (New King James Version)
And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God,
to those who are the called according to His purpose.

In many ways, I've not forgiven my ex-boss for giving a bad appraisal that eventually lead me to resigning and me in HK right now. I still have anger towards him. Pastor Watson brought up a question, 'Have you been angry with a fellow Christian?' Of course, I've been. My ex-boss is a Christian. I sincerely pray that after this post, I will with the help of the Almighty, find it in my heart to let go of my anger and forgive him. Like Pastor Watson said, when things go wrong, awry, terrible and shitty, God always have a purpose. Let Romans 8:28, He has a purpose for those who love Him. And I strongly believe that I'm in a better place now with WK. We have a better quality of life, I have a lot less stress now and I've time to spend with WK and finally in a long time in my life, I'm at peace with myself. And yes, it's time to let go of my anger and animosity towards my ex-boss. And I forgive you and thanks for helping me make decisions that is giving me a better life.

When things go wrong,
I wonder why

When things go wrong,
I ask God why

When things go wrong
I keep on trying

When things go wrong,
I go on crying

When wondering stops,
God speaks

When asking stops
God whispers

When trying stops
God comforts

When crying stops
God directs

And I know,
God's purpose
Is Higher
Than Mine

And I know
God's hands
Is Around
Me tight

And I know
God is there
Always there
For me

And I know
He'll be there
Till the end
End of time

Ok, I know...not a very good poem....But readers, remember, that God has always a purpose. When things go wrong, God is there. He's the same, yesterday, today and tomorrow. He never fails us. I know for a fact.
