On Gandalf's wisdom

As Frodo looks down at the ring in his hand he says that he wish that the ring had never come into his possession.

Wise Gandalf says, "So do I, and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for us to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us."

People ask this all the time:
1. Why this bad thing only happens to me?
2. Why God punish newborn babies and young children by inflicting them with illness, allowing them to have a hole in the heart,leave them crippled with AIDS?
3. Why would God allow famine and floods, lost of lives, wars,sickness?
4. Is there a God? Or is it just man-made image of a superbeing who don't really care?

I hope these questions come into your mind once in a while, stinging you to your core. They often come to me, and I still have no direct answers about them. But I do get clues of answers by reading the book of Job, and by having faith that God will restore.

We often blaim the circumstances and react hostile towards them, feeling that injustice has been done against us.( I do have that feeling sometimes.) However, a wise man says, we cant chart the course of the wind, but we can change the direction of our sail. We choose what we want to do, how we want to react to the given circumstance - for the benefit of the parties involved. There's no point in blaiming others for what has happened because pointing fingers can only help you to aggravate the situation even more.

All we do is just step up in faith , and pray God will deliver, yet again.
