My first blog post this year was captioned 'Into the unknown'. As the name suggests, we were entering into a year that no human being knew what was ahead in the year except God and who He decided to show coming events to. I knew anything was possible in this year but I Hoped and prayed only pleasant things would come up( don't we all?).
Well, in this year a beloved relative passed away. I took solace in the fact that he had lived a healthy life and strived to leave a good legacy behind.
Then this week a terribly heartbreaking news rocked a dear friend of mine that has left me shaken. I find it amazing how I usually can go and on but when the emotions are stirred up, words fail. What do you tell someone who has lost a loved one full of life at such a young age? It is well seems not the best thing to say. Sigh.
And this was definitely unknown. So you ask yourself, did God know? Why didn't He stop it? And unless He gives you one on one closure, you would never get to know until you probably meet Him someday.
But what we do know is that He has given us the strength to take what came our way one day at a time, and this is something not every one has been able to do.
And we know that if some bad news can hit us, some good news can as well hit us . And so we would not give up in this life. As short a time as some people lived, they left lasting memories and touched more hearts than people who lived a hundred years could.
And as little as the time is to the year's end, we know that God can do exceedingly, abundantly , above all we could ask or think.
Not all things are good, but God can make all things work out for our good.
Only God Remains.
