If I were God.

Have you ever thought: " If I were God, I would do this or that?" I have. I was just thinking about that very thing. I realize how stupid this thought is. I mean I am not God, and I am very glad of that fact. I would really mess things up.
I remember when my kids were at that "Why" stage. "Why is the grass green, why is our car blue, why is the sky blue, why is a horse brown? Why, Why Why. It gets very tiring to hear. God made us, "WHY" did he put it within us to question everything? "God, why did this have to happen to me?" "Why aren't You listening to me?" "Why is there death and sin all around us, can't You do something?" We ask questions all the time of our Heavenly Father. "Why" did He put the desire for us to ask "Why" about everything? Doesn't He get tired of being asked "WHY"?
What does asking Why to things mean to us? Why didn't God just create us without that need to know. You see, asking Why is one of the most important things about being human. It makes us explore how things work, it makes the "Explorer" part of us want to know what is over those mountains. The answer to "Why" is what we as humans seek all our lives. What really is hard to grasp, though, is when the question cannot be answered. "Why does God love me?" Good question, I wouldn't love me if I were God. "Why does God forgive me?" Another good question, I am positive I could not do that. "Why does my spouse love me"? Great question, I am a very hard person to live with. It's those questions that make being human hard. Excepting the unexplained. We want to know how, why, who, when.....but with God and our loved ones it is only trust.
Trust: wow what a word. Some trust is easier then others. If you were a trapeze artist in the circus and you trusted your friend to catch you after doing a quadruple somersault that is a lot of trust. If you trusted your spouse would remember to pick up some milk on their way home from work, that is also trust, just a little not life threatening. Trusting God, that He does love us, that He is coming back for us that there is really a place He is preparing for us to go and be with Him forever, that is trust. Why? Because we cannot see any of this, we just KNOW because we trust.
Why do we trust? Good question. You trust someone more if they have a good track record. My ex-wife could not trust me anymore, because of my track record, thus my marriage ended. Trust is earned, WHY? Because the more you let someone down the more they think you'll do it again. Has God ever let you down? You may have blamed Him for something, but take a look now, was it really His fault? No, God has a perfect track record. Why, easy because He is incapable of letting us down. He is incapable of sinning, that is a human condition and He is not Human. He is GOD.
So, go ahead and ask the question: "Why.............' God is ready to answer, He has many many plans for all of us, and growth only comes by lessons learned. Why and Trust go hand in hand. There are some "Why" questions we will never know until we get to Heaven and ask God, "Hey God, remember that thing that happened to me when I was 7, Why did it happen?" God will smile and tell you the reason maybe like "My Son, that was for your growth, you see,if that had not happened then you would not have had the faith to do ............."
But don't let this stop you from asking the question: God Why.
God has HIS ways and they are higher then ours. People who have no faith, trust in God Jehovah, are the ones asking the question WHY, and are getting no answers. God is shouting the answers, but they aren't listening.
Go ahead, ask. Then trust.
