I can be a little bit of a problem solver. There seems to be some form of peace in the knowing. The problem is, I don’t have all the answers. Though there are some things that I may not be meant to know. For maybe in the not knowing faith is given the ability to shine brighter. I try to be a fixer; a fixer of things, problems and people. The thing is, I can’t fix everything. Though I’m not meant to fix everything. For maybe by not, it helps my trust in God to shine brighter. I can feel a little hopeless at times, a little defeated. It is times like this I see His hope, shining bright when I need it most. I love hard. Sometimes harder than reciprocated with some. It is times like this I am reminded of God’s unconditional love. It is His love that shines immeasurably over me. In life we may not have all the answers. We may not be able to fix everything ourselves. Things can feel hard at times. It can be hurtful when we love harder than others at times. Though it is in these things we find our faith growing, our trust deepened, our hope renewed, and are reminded of His faithful love. Friend, it’s great when everything seems aligned in our lives. This is a good thing. However, we live in an imperfect world where it isn’t always that way. It is in those times where I have found even when things don’t, they just grow our faith, trust, and hope in Him. May in those great times, we praise Him. In our not as great times praise Him too, and find the beauty in our walk with God.
