dear friend

perhaps there is something in your life causing you to question God
do you find yourself saying, 'i do not understand why God allowed my loved one to be taken. i do not understand why affliction has been permitted to strike me. i do not understand why the Lord has led me down these twisting paths. i do not understand why my own plans, which seemed so good, have been so disappointing. i do not understand why the blessings i so desperately need are so long in coming.'

dear friend, you do not have to understand all God's ways of dealing with you. he does not expect you to understand them. you do not expect your children to understand everything you do -- you simply want them to trust you. and someday you too will see the glory of God in the things you do not understand.
