Everything will come to pass, everything will be revealed. There're many mysteries, secrets, many things we don't know now... Things will be revealed, no matter what. (when we meet the Father, maybe?) So yes, while there're many 'why's, they may not be answered until He permits. So perhaps we should not try wasting (for lack of a better word) our time searching for the answers to our questions. To me, it seems easier leaving things as they are. Less torment...

It's these times I start thinking about circumstances and how God allows them to follow thru' - with divine intervention coming into play. Sometimes I can never really understand why some things happen to some people...but whatever the devil puts us thru', eventually, God will use the 'new' us (having gone thru' certain experiences) for His glory. That's something I know and it probably suffices to convince me enough I don't have to keep dwelling on the fact that this or that has happened to somebody or somebody else. His Word says the same...so many verses about Him having plans and of His purpose prevailing. Everlasting.

"before they call, I will answer" isaiah 65:24

are you not convinced? you must be. it's comforting, comforting to know we're not alone. knowing there's a higher being in control, taking charge, being strong on our behalf. as long as we trust in Him, He'll make our paths straight. believe that.

so I'll stand with arms high and heart abandoned
in awe of the one who gave it all
I'll stand my soul Lord to you surrendered
all I am is Yours.
