Every story has an end and God says that, "ALL things work together for good for those who love Him and are called according to His purpose." It is so easy to loose ourselves in the beginning or in the middle of our story and not exercise the faith that we have developed so as to feel peace DURING our trial. All the confusion and anxiety mounts when we are in a time of trouble but we must remember God's promises! Your sorrow will end and with that closure will come God's divine insight of His hand at work in it. John 8:12 says, "He that follows Me (Jesus) will not walk in darkness." Does that mean we will have full heavenly disclosure of all the reasons why things happened or are happening? No, it means that God's Word and His Spirit will be our light of hope through all our dark moments. Life may puzzle our reasoning at times but we should never allow that to drip into our hearts and become despair. For each of our stories has many chapters and scenes and although one scene may end with dismay, the next will bring a new view.
As long as we draw breath, God's hand is still at work in us and He will intertwine our story with the lives of many others. One day when it is all revealed it will astonish us, as we will see His loving hand upon our most desperate times and upon our loved ones, when we thought He had left us. There will be an ending to your story dear one, it will be written in the ink of love by your Savior and it will be perfect. Our narrow understanding of how ALL things can work together for good should give us pause and we should find contentment that we are not in control, but, merely children being cared for by our Heavenly Dad. "By the Spirit we cry out, "Abba Father", and the Spirit testifies with our spirit that we are God's children!' (Abba is Aramaic for Daddy, representing a tender and compassionate relationship between Father and child.) "Now if we are children, then we are heirs, heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ, if indeed we share in His sufferings in order that we may also share in His glory." Romans 8:15-17.
Learn and practice saying things like, "This too shall pass", All will be well", "God has a plan", This WILL work together for good", "God is in this", "God loves me dearly and is faithful to me forever!"......... God will use your story to not only bless you but to bless others. And, by saying His promises aloud we will have more restful hearts during the troubling times that are a part of our life's story. So, may we all understand that our lives are epic movies that are written with purpose and care, filled with pleasures, trials, traumas and exuberant scenes of celebration and joy! Our stories will touch lives, change hearts, open minds and fill souls by the things that God will do through us! Our life is about much more than just us.
"In the same way the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groans that words cannot express. And He who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints (us) in accordance with God's will." Romans 8:26,27. See God in every chapter!
