I Must Believe That God Knows The Way
I often panic when things get out of hand. For how could things ever turn out well again after all the chaos? Could I still expect to see the fruits I wanted to see?
What I must remember is that though everything seems to be out of ‘my’ control for a moment, they are never truly out of ‘God’s control’.
Like a seed that gets buried beneath the ground, I may be in the dark, but that doesn’t mean I could no longer find the path towards the light. In a miraculous way, the seed grows and finds its way to blossom into the world, often without us knowing when and how.
I must believe then that there is a path that only God knows, and that eventually, amidst all the obstacles that I see, good things shall find their way again. Everything shall fall into place as God would have them to. It may not necessarily be in accordance with my plans, but I must believe that God’s plans are always better than even my greatest dreams.
God is my hope when I have no hope, my faith when I have no faith, and my love when every trace of love has vanished in my darkest hour.
God penetrates the thickest fog and warms the coldest of my days. He alone stands when all else falls. His love alone endures when all else fails.
God is my joy, a joy that could never be taken away from me. In Him is my all, my forever, my life. With Him, every fear shall fade, and every tear shall be wiped away. I care not how dark the night may be; His Light will always shine and lead me to that blessed day where He is.
“Faith is the strength by which a shattered world shall emerge into light.” — Helen Keller
“As for God, his way is perfect.
The LORD’s word is tested.
He is a shield to all those who take refuge in him.”
-2 Samuel 22:31, WEBBE

“The deepest wounds of the soul are healed only by compassion… People do not merely need to be clothed, they need to be embraced with love. A love that enters into their own fears and frailty, a love that suffers with them and stays with them through their darkest hour.”
