There is no Greater!

There is no greater
No, no, no, no, no
There's no greater love I've seen in my life
No no greater, greater

Oh, no, no
Oh Lord I praise Your name
For all the things You've done, oh

There's no greater
No greater love I've found than You, Lord
And all the things You've done for me
I'm so glad I've come to see
There's no greater
No greater love I've found than You, Lord
Your legs hurt and walked away
That's why you want me to be brave
There's no greater love
I found no greater love
There's no greater love
There's no greater
There's no greater, I know

He can move any mountain
And He can calm any sea
He can ease any troubled mind
He can give victory
I come to know
I've come to know
I've come to know
My heavenly father

I shed tears as I read this. I have been going through so much hell in the past 3 weeks, and things have been bad!

You are here: Life Challenges >> Why Me God

Why Me, God? - A Common Question
I'm sure you are asking, "Why me, God?" because something has happened that caused you to feel somehow singled out. Perhaps you feel that God must be punishing you for some reason. Why else would this be happening to you? Be assured. You are not alone. God has not abandoned you and He has not singled you out, no matter how you feel right now. Whatever you are going through, God's promise is that He will see you through and give you the strength and direction you need. God wants you to know that He understands how you feel, that He knows more about your situation than you do, and that He saw it coming before you did. Above all, He began to work on His resolution for you before you even knew to ask! The reality here is that God is for you. He is not against you.

Why Me, God? - An Erred Belief System
Our feelings of "Why me, God?" are real. They are based on real events, but our conclusions may not be accurate. While we don't want to minimize the pain you feel in any way, we do want to try to help you look more closely at why you feel singled out and whether or not you've arrived at a valid conclusion. The answers to why we conclude anything, even why we question God's intent or purpose in any event, can be found in our highly individualized network of beliefs.

We absorb our beliefs from our parents, teachers, life experiences, books, etc. Some of what we have come to believe may sound right, but in reality our views might be too narrowly defined or inaccurate. We have bought into many ideas and concepts that distort our right thinking and actually work against us. For example, we have learned untruths that cause us to live the role of the victim, either of circumstances or of our past. These erred beliefs cause us to cry out in pain, "Why me, Lord?"

God's answer is that we are not victims but victors. God has said that we can trust Him in everything and that every event in our lives should be counted as ALL joy (James 1:2). He has also told us that He will cause good to come out of every situation for those who love Him (Romans 8:28). When we ask "Why me, God" it's really because we don't believe God. Our belief system opposes God, so we feel singled out and victimized.

Most of us believe, at least on some level, that we need to understand everything. We just need to know why. When we don't, we may feel God has betrayed us in some way. In reality, it's not God who is confusing us or betraying us, it is our belief system. All those inconsistent, partially correct beliefs cause us to question God's fairness in what we are experiencing

My Dessert Trial –as a human- caused me to back up into a corner and grieve. But this really hit home with me! Right now I’m sterile and immovable. But I went through hell and I want to tell you all that Life is grand. I don't profess to learn the truth and preach it!

This is my own system of beliefs..! Yours can be different and that's fine!


There's no greater
No greater

No greater love I've found than You
