things don't always make sense

one of the lessons i have been learning lately is that things do not always make sense and that is okay.  things may happen that are unexpected, that are different than the way we would like them to be, may seem unrelated, just seem plain wrong in our perspective...but here is the kicker--the problem is our perspective.  we see things completely from our own vantage point with our interest in mind.  we can be aware of others perspectives, but will not see things fully from their point of view no matter how hard we try.

now pull back and recognize that there is a God who has the full perspective--of all plans, of all circumstances and situations, of all goals and outcomes, from the beginning to beyond infinity.  He has and knows the big picture.  it is His perspective that we should be trusting in.  it is okay if something may not make sense to me because in God's plans, it has already been orchestrated fully with a final outcome and plan in mind.

knowing that God has what's best for each one of us in mind, we can trust Him for all the things in our life--tragedies and triumphs, big and small steps, logical and illogical...He is the perspective we need in our lives.
