What did I do that God repaid me like this?

We often look for reasons behind suffering, trying to assign blame. But Jesus shows us a different way.

In John 9, Jesus encounters a man born blind. His disciples ask who sinned - the man or his parents?

Jesus' response is powerful: "Neither... but this happened so that the works of God might be displayed in him."

God isn't about cursing, He's about healing and restoration.


When we see suffering, let's respond with Christ-like compassion rather than judgment. Look for ways to display God's love in action.


Remember: You haven't let God down. You were never holding Him up. Lean into His unconditional love today.
