We all desire a seamless life
(in whatever way we imagine that to be) where interferences are absent and what
we hope for could be reached on an unobstructed path. None of us get that.
There are ample challenges and deeply embedded thorns we must deal with.
Maybe we need to be less afraid
of the troubles and see that the folds can sometimes bring a complexity and
form that can give us strength and beauty as we move in the face of them.
It’s not that any wrong becomes good, I am not one who believes that God plans evil as
some kind of teaching tool, but that we can be transformed for the better in spite of it because of
something bigger that is true and active.
God does work on our behalf, and our story with all its imperfections is
much more amazing because it isn’t a flat easy thing.
How can you soar, my dear,
without the dimension and strength of wings? He could have just left you flat and done everything
for you, but because you are invited to be part of the process and beauty and work,
He has the capacity to use any difficulty that you have suffered to become part
of your strength. As you see that
power working in your life, your trust grows in His care and His presence. You know you are not alone, and you are
assured that evil will not have the last word.
