Jesus Can't Fix Everything?

I don’t like all your Jesus stuff. Jesus cannot fix everything. He can’t fix sexual harassment.

I appreciate how you are hurting. I apologize if that sounds judgmental, but your statement sounds like something I might have said before I truly knew Him. Once I started walking with Jesus on a daily basis and trusting in Him during the bleakest of bleak I found that He truly does fix everything for me. The problem is He does not always fix things the way I want them fixed. Sometimes this frustrates me to no end! Then I feel hurt and I can question His very existence. This happens when I am concentrating on the present moment and forgetting that He always has things worked out for the big picture.

Philippians 4:19 “And my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.”

In my life I have been the victim of sexual harassment, sexual assault and many other terrible things that should never happened to a little girl or young woman. For years I played the victim role and quenched my pain with alcohol, depression and a number of behaviors I am not very proud of. I was raised in the Lutheran Church and I knew Jesus as a child yet I did not know how to trust Him with my pain. I was angry and so lost. My pain, my hurt and my scars were always on the top of my emotions. Then I hit a new low and could not manage my life any more. I confessed my sins. With a truly repentant heart, I asked Jesus into my heart and asked Him to change my life. I felt a new life enter my soul. I am sure that is the Holy Spirit. (John 15:26) I was changed forever. I no longer feel the pain and I do not have the scars. I am washed clean and I do feel beautiful again. If someone today is inappropriate with me I have the strength to rebuke the action and nip it in the bud. I keep up my relationship with Jesus up by continually reading His word, fellowshipping with other Christians, praying and trusting. He always loves me as He always loves you to maintain that relationship just like any other relationship it takes a commitment. Committing to the Lord has truly freed me from the adverse effects of life especially the adverse effects of sexual harassment and assault.
