Even if God explained in detail exactly how he works, I think his answer would be way beyond our comprehension. When we ask how and why God makes things happen, perhaps the only answer we need is this: ”Because I am God and I love you.” That’s an answer we all can accept!
The people in our lives will come and go and sometimes, unfortunately, they may even disappoint or hurt us. Thank you, God, for being the one constant in our lives: ever present, always available, and ceaseless in your love.
Life, like the weather, is seasonal. Some seasons last longer than others and some are more pleasant than others, but each season passes whether we like it or not. Let’s not waste our time looking back at past seasons or worrying about the future ones. Let’s enjoy the season we’re in and make every day count!
That sentence says it all. Thank you, God!
I surrender, Lord. On my own, I am powerless. But, by your power, all things are possible. Thank you for your gift of grace.
Our children don’t have to earn our love; we love them because they are ours. And so it is with God’s children; he loves us simply because we are His. Yet, unlike earthly parents, God manages to remain calm and firm, loving and patient, no matter how exasperating or rebellious His children may be. Moreover, his advice is always correct, his provision is always enough, and he never tires of comforting us. If only our parenting skills were as good!
