why did god create me?

Question

if god is all loving, all caring, why in the heck is my life so rubbish?? I mean come on, i got the lowest possible amount of grades in secondary "high" school......get nothing but stick off people...i feel stupid.....and no before you ask i don't have low self-esteem. i had jobs and apartments and i lost them all through other peoples faults. i haven't enough money to start a career, in order to do that i need a job (which i can't get) to save money!! i also have a disastrous love life and no girl will go near me at all (apparently i'm not ANYONES type) and all attentions are focused on my other friends instead.......

if god really cared for me he would catch me a break right now....i am a good person, all i want is a happy, eventful life!!

I'm not an avid church-go-er but my best friends family are quite religious to the point of "a ned flanders family" and seem to get all the best things in life handed to them.

clearly god hates me......

Answer 1

God is not a kindly (but senile) grandfather who gives you gifts and then lets you go to do whatever you want. He created you for a purpose and that purpose doesn't really focus on your personal happiness. Most of Jesus apostles died horrible deaths and Jesus Himself died nailed to a cross. Jesus said, "count the cost" so if you're not up to that and you just want a life of good feelings, then Christianity is not for you. God challenges us to follow Him in the most exciting and dangerous mission ever. This is not the time to worry about your small problems. Don't sweat the small stuff.

God's purpose for all of us is to reveal Himself to us through our love for others. There is a short story on the web written by the famous Russian author, Leo Tolstoy. It was a very powerful influence on my life. You can find it here:

Answer 2

Don't settle for a life you hate. You're the only one who can change it because you're the only one who will ever care the most about where you are. Live the life you promised yourself you would live one day. Start doing it today. Start changing one thing per day until your life is nothing like it was right now, when you're most unhappy.

Start working out if you can't get a date. Even a beast with no teeth or hair can get a girl if he has great pecs and abs.

Don't stay at home thinking so much. Go to a community centre and ask if you can help some way. Then every time you do something benevolent or kind, pat yourself on the back and realize you aren't sitting around feeling sorry for yourself anymore.

Find something you're interested in and study up on it. Go to the library or search online. Read everything about it you can find.

Take little steps every day. By the end of a month, you'll be miles away from the life that disappoints you so much now.

DON'T SETTLE FOR A LIFE YOU HATE!

Okay?

Now, away you go and get started and best of luck to you.

Report back here in 30 days to tell us what happened.

Answer 3

God created you to fellowship with him.

As for the pains you have in life, those are yours totally. God loves you enough to let you go your own way, do your own thing and success or failure is all yours. He takes no part in it per se.

As for your avid church goer friends, you might ponder what makes them content, and able to do well. It could be that they are hearing from God and he is giving them something called peace, and not that crumby immitation you get around here.

Okay, your a good person. I will grant you that. What does that mean in the grand scheme of things?

Trust me when I tell you that if you were on the LORD God of the bible's hit list, (that is he hated you), you would not be asking these questions. The Holy Spirit would not be working with you to repent, and accept Jesus as your Lord and Savior.

Also, being a christian is not a guarantee that your life will be stellar. Mine has been, but it has come at a heavy cost to me personally. So how do you have a stellar life, and pay a price for it? That is the wonderful thing about being a christian, i prosper in adversity, i prosper in good times.

I hope that you are able to find your way through the maze.

Answer 4

no, God doesn't hate you. It may seem tough right now, but you know the saying "when it rains, it pours", if you follow the laws of karma, usually the bad and the good need to be balanced, I am sure it will start looking up for you. Right now, you need friends and family. Talk to them, let them know the situation, maybe ask for some advice. Far as a job and career, you might want to try to go to school. There are loans and grants that can help you. Through school, you can have a career and usually the school can help you with job placement.

In the meantime, try meditating. See your life as a monster, and you are the valiant knight. Fight your way through, don't let anyone get you down. See the positive things in your life instead of concentrating on the negative, believe me, I have been in your shoes, and it will get better.

God created you because believe it or not, you were put on this earth for a reason, you may not see it yet, but it will show itself. Be patient my friend, I am sure things will balance out soon....

Contact me anytime if you are down, or just need someone to listen....

Answer 5

If god hated you... then you would probably be in a much worse state right now...

Your current situation at best is the result of a god "not caring" or possibly even "not knowing you exist" ..... though more likely than not "no god there at all".


See... nothing in the Universe really gives a toss about you besides YOU.... and to a lesser extent those directly connected to you, who care only about you as an extension of themselves.

As such there is one person responsible for improving your life: YOU.

And if you can't do it for one reason or other... then just learn to be content with what you've got and make the most of it.... because attitude makes a big difference.

Answer 6

Clearly you don't trust Him. There are thousands if not hundreds of thousands of people out there with afflictions 10 times worse than yours who refuse to blame God or look down on life because things haven't come together for them the way they would like. He never promised anyone a "happy eventful life". He has, however, promised you LIFE of the eternal variety that will have none of the rubbish you declare your life is full of now. In your weaknesses, such as trusting other people to bring you happiness, He has called you to lay it all at His feet. No person is good. We are all filthy rags in His sight except that Christ has taken our "filth" upon Himself and wiped it all away so that God now sees us, those that turn to Him, as the beautiful little children He created us to be. This life and all its standards we can never seem to meet is a distraction to us away from what life is truely about. Once you see that, see the BIG FAT LIE you are telling yourself and allowing the world to hand feed you, your eyes will be opened and you will know beyond a shadow of a doubt that God has your back and He is all about tossing you whatever breaks you need. Don't blame Him for what has gone wrong in your life...acknowledge Him for all that is good in your life. Clearly God loves you...you just don't see it because you are blinded by a bad case of "have nots". Rise up and fight, ask Him for the strength to attain the goals that you have set for yourself, trust Him to find your mate...then you will wonder how you could have ever written that statement you just made. Love in Christ, ~J~ (P.S. written by a former "loser mentality" agent now reformed by the Gospel.)

Answer 7

True Christians will NEVER fit in with this world. We don't belong to it. We belong to God. The world loves it's own. If someone is having a hunky dory life, then they ought to start questioning where their soul stands as far as God goes.

Also, you can't judge a person by what's on the outside. They may be going through some kind of personal hell that they've told no one about. Life is HARD. Just pray and ask for courage. Peace.

Answer 8

Don't say that, God dosen't hate you. You should never question your existency in this universe. I understand how you feel. I have, at one time of my life had your experience too. But I'm okay now, and I'm doing fine. Not stressing that this has nothing to do with God, but I dare say this. Change your way of thinking, change your way of life. How you think makes you what you are. If you keep thinking I'm curse, I'm a jinx, of course you are! Don't judge yourself, nobody can judge, only God can. Don't bring your past to compare what you are now. Just know that you have seen yesterday, be happy for today, and get ready for tomorrow. Take your past and your failures, review them and know your mistake. Learn and correct, and rebuild your life. Start being positive, look at the cup half full than half empty. Start looking around you, instead of looking at people who don't care, don't bother bout you, find people who care and bother bout you. Nothing is handed to you on a silver plate. You have to work, ask for it. You don't have to be damn religious, but you can still pray to God. Ask for favour among people, wisdom, peace and joy. I used to ask for that when I was a teenager, and I'm proud to say, today, wherever I go, I have favour with people. Good luck pal, time to change your attitude and mindset.

Answer 9

I had many complaints through out my life to, if you ever read my blog you may understand how reading GOD'S word changed the way I spoke about myself.

I learned how to deal with me first, then I learned how to deal better with others.

I had to learn it isn't what others do to me, it was how I got through it. I had to learn to forgive and to speak positive even when all I felt like doing is hate everyone.

I had to learn it was what was coming out of my own mouth, that was holding me back from all the blessings from GOD.
Every hurtful thing I went through became a lesson to learn from. I learned to speak words of hope, love and positive things, even when I felt negatively.

It is very hard to say out loud to yourself, GOD loves me, so I love me to.
I had to speak things like, I will get a good education, when I knew I could not afford to pay for one. I spoke out of FAITH in GOD'S word. I now have a good education and never had to pay for it, except my time sitting and reading and putting everything I was learning to good use of my time. I never went to school. I went to the library, the computer, and most important the BIBLE, and prayer.

My hardest lesson of ALL was how to forgive those who hurt me even tho they claimed they did nothing wrong against me.

A lot of hurting people want to know who GOD is and many of the people ask the same questions that I asked " If GOD exsists then PROVE IT!" Yet when I try to, they will not listen to how GOD brought me from a downward fallen misrable life to a POSITIVE SPEAKING WONDERFUL LIFE.

Until we change the way we think and the way we speak, nothing in our lives can change.

If you do what you have always done, you will only get what you have always gotten.

I say as I have learnd....TRY SOMETHING NEW, TRY POSITIVE.

If you want prof of GOD'S existence then, give HIM the opportunity to show you.

edit:
With all the negitive things that were blinding my site, I did not see the man I was to marry and I ended up marrying the wrong man. YEARS LATTER, after he passed away, the man I was to marry, was my first husband's friend's brother who is now the man I am married to and blessed will two sons.

Answer 10

God created your Spirit...which is precious and eternal.
As for the rest of the issues...one can be reasonably sure, people caused most of those.
You do sound like you basically believe you are a "good person" that's a healthy place to start.
Take all of your problems to Jesus...he will help you sort them all out!
