Do you believe everything happens for a reason?
When loved ones pass away, family and friends are saddened by the loss of the loved ones. They don’t know why God took the loved ones from them. They might even be mad at God for taking them. But everything happens for a reason. They don’t understand that God has everything planned out. If you look in the bible in the book of Jeremiah chapter twenty-nine verse eleven, it talks about it. And if you look in the book of Ecclesiastes in chapter three verse eleven you will find more about why everything happens. Also in the book of Jeremiah chapter one verse five NIV.
In the book of Jeremiah, chapter twenty-nine verse eleven NIV it says , “For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” What God means by that, is that everything he does won’t harm us. He says it will prosper us, by that he means it will make us successful. He is giving us a hope and a future. He already knows what is going to happen next in our lives. He always knows everything that is going to happen next.

I know the best thing we can do is to always enjoy life, because God’s gift to us is the happiness we get from our food and drink and from the work we do.” What he means by this is that, we never know why he does this to us, why he takes away a loved one or why he makes us get fired from a job. But he knows he is doing it at the right time to help us get better. He does the things that will make us stronger even though we feel as if we’ve been betrayed by God
