What if?

What if we’re actually the ones standing  in the way of the miracles that God wants to do in our lives?  What if the way we live our lives reflects on more than just us?  What if God loves us so much that He keeps us from understanding the things in our lives that we ask Him to reveal to us, simply because He loves us too much to let those realities ultimately wreck us?  What if His love is so great that He doesn’t let us understand it, only because we wouldn’t be able to fathom a love so strong and so pure?  These are the questions that I’ve found myself asking lately.  It’s hard to be in a place where you don’t understand why God does things, or even be able to see the upside to the situation.  It’s difficult to deal with all the emotions the rise up in you when you don’t have an answer for life and the people that you trust don’t have one either.  There are a lot of things in this life that don’t make sense to me.  However, there are a few absolute truths in this life.  God loves us.  He desperately longs for relationship with us.  He wants to show us just how crazy He is about us.  A wise man once told me, “This I know for sure; When we cry out to Him, He will answer us.”  So for now, I’m going to have to find comfort in the uncertainty of this life.  I’m going to have to embrace the reality that I may not ever understand everything and probably won’t.

*Job 33:33  – “But if not, listen to me.  Keep silent and I will teach you wisdom.”

Boom.
