The Ups and Downs of Life

Hannah @ L56

1. On roller coasters, it's very easy to get scared. Because you can't get off without killing yourself and it's out of your control

• Roller coasters don't care about your feelings: it doesn't matter whether or not you are enjoying the ride, you have to stay on it until the end.
• Sometimes you want the roller coaster to last longer, but once the ride is over you have to get off and get back in line, ride another ride, or go home.

2. Whatever happens in life is something that God allowed to happen.

• A. If God lets a bad thing happen then God also has a way out of the situation: you won't stay there.
• B. Even when good things happen, it's something that God allowed to happen to. It's easy to believe that it was all because of you when it's not. It's something that Got allowed to happen.

3. God is always with you through the ups and downs of life.

• Hebrews 13:8 Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.
