Blaming God while ignoring him

Hello guys!!

We live in a generation that often ignores God but blames Him when things go wrong. Today, a friend of mine told me that he lost faith in God because of all the wrong happening in the world, and yet God hasn’t done anything to stop it.

Hearing this made me feel really bad. It’s disheartening how people often turn to God only when they need help but then blame Him when things don’t go their way. I don’t understand why people hold God responsible for their own choices and mistakes. They choose to walk away from Him, yet they claim that He is the one who abandoned them.

The Parable of the Lost Sheep—God left the 99 to find that one sheep. It’s not  about the sheep; it’s about us. He never leaves us, but we are the ones who stays away and seek Him only when we face problems. Yet, despite our distance, His love remains constant, always calling us back.

This parable reminds us of God’s endless grace—how He rejoices over even one lost soul returning to Him. It teaches us that no matter how far we wander, we are never too lost for His love to find us. If we truly immerse ourselves in the Bible, we will begin to see His guidance in our daily lives, recognize His hand in our struggles, and understand the deeper meaning behind the events happening in the world around us.

What saddens me most is that people aren’t ready to listen or reflect on this truth. When I shared this with my friend, his only response was that I was trying to manipulate and force them. But faith is not about forcing—it’s about realizing that God has always been there, waiting for us to return. The question is, are we willing to listen?

Matthew 11:15 says, "He who has ears to hear, let him hear".
