Is that what we do in life? Keep watching in vain for the perfect shot? For something that most likely won't happen? Instead of just enjoying the beauty right in front of us?
That is true with grief. At one point--perhaps a longer time than you would like, you will get to the other side of grief. I can tell you it's true, for I've been there.
We don't know what's around the next corner, but we do know who will carry and deliver us. That's a promise for you, too.
This week, I plan to reflect on the wonders He has done. Will you join me?
What about those why questions? Ask God the hard questions. He's not threatened by them. Ask God to enlarge your understanding of what is good. Realize we can't do this journey of life on our own. Ask God to take this brokenness and make something good out of it.
It seems there are always blemishes of sadness on our horizons. It's hard to not ask why. And God is fine with our asking that question. Job of the Bible did.
Life is uncertain. As our days progress on this earth, we know we will one day pass from this life to eternity. We treasure every day we have and are grateful to God for his gift of love and salvation. God is good--all the time!
