Do you have difficulty sometimes understanding God's plans? I do. When hard things happen, I wonder, "Why did this have to happen? What was thou thinking, Heavenly Father?"
I'm ashamed to admit that, that I doubt the Father's plans, for me, for others. Right now, we have dear, dear friends undergoing hard things. They remain optimistic and certain of the Lord's love for them. I have always admired this family, but never more so than now, when I witness their suffering.
When I want to rail at the seeming injustice of these good people suffering so, a still, small voice reminds me that the Lord loves them, that He has not forgotten them.
This I know for sure: the Lord's plans are perfect; it is my own understanding that is imperfect.
I fancy that He smiles at us during these times, just as I smile at my children after I do something that they can't understand, but is for their good.
ReplyDeleteI am currently trying to understand why something happened to me and what lesson I should be learning. Or did I learn it already and I just don't know it? Probably not. Great comment by Deliese
