Hello my sisters, my name is Ghertie Noé and together with my husband we are pastors of the IDD of Stockholm Sweden.

On this day I have some questions that I want to ask you?
Have you ever felt that you don’t understand God’s purposes? Or have you wondered why this is happening to me or why that loved one left too early? Why do I have this disease or this pain?
Or because my son or daughter was born with this disease, or because I cannot have children?
Or any other question that even though we think about it, say it or shout it, we will not get an answer. At least not this side of eternity.
About 1 year ago a young woman in our church passed away, she was a leader, she sang in praise, she had an angelic voice, she preached the word of God with tremendous power. He loved God with all his being and that is how he lived it too. A beautiful woman inside and out. Mother of two children, wife, friend and a servant of God.

The covid had no mercy on her and in 3 weeks of illness she died.
At that moment, in addition to being in a state of shock, fear, immense pain, the doubt also came to me. I was not able to ask God the question directly; why?

But in my mind there was the doubt, if we had prayed and fasted day and night for God to heal our sister, we had declared, proclaimed healing, I was 100 percent sure that the Lord was going to heal her. What happened?
In order not to be arrogant, never say that phrase. But since He has known us before we were in our mother’s womb, I felt that the Holy Spirit reminded me of the word that is in Isaiah 55: 8 “because my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways,” said Jehovah.

I felt very ashamed and with much pain in my soul I asked for forgiveness for having doubted the greatness and sovereignty of my beloved God. He is the owner of life and death, He gives He takes away. Point!
Because we know that, although we do not understand it today, and we are under its protection, it is the best for us.

That in time we will understand, or maybe not! otherwise we will understand it when we arrive at our eternal abode.

It is lawful to feel sad, weak we are only human, the apostle Paul explained it clearly in 2Corinthians 12:10 he says that in our weakness in Christ we are strong.

Let’s not forget that HE has thoughts of good for our and lives and
Let’s remember that God is sovereign, He created us and He is in control!
