I can't explain the beauty
of the true blue sky today with lovely, snowy white clouds hanging in
space all around. What an interesting piece of art God has hung in
space today. After staying in the house alone all morning I was
getting more saddened each minute, but when I walked outside and
looked up, everything changed. God is real, and he is alive. I
realized I am not alone, and I have the best friend on earth. He
gives us strength to endure life's most painful times. My daughter is
grieving today with her son who got news this morning that the mother
of her son's childhood, inseparable, friend, had just been killed by
a drunken driver. The father of her son's best friend was in surgery
with unknown injuries at the time. The mother of this close friend
was also like a mother to my grandson. It has really left them in
shock. Life is filled with surprises with many not so good ones. God
is the only pain killer we have in times like these. He hears our
cries, and sends his love to comfort us. We must look up, and see his
beauty that covers the entire world.
With the ending of this day I am sure I will feel better. My sorrow pains usually don't last for long at a time however, they will return from time to time. In the book of Isaiah the prophet, chapter 45, v. 7, The Lord says, I form the light, and create darkness; I make peace, and create evil; I the Lord do all these things. WHAT? God creates evil? That is what He said. Yes, it's evil that attacks us when one of our loved ones are taken from us, but God allowed it to happen. We must never, never try to understand. Only trust our God for He is the Beginning and the End of all things. He will never leave us nor forsake us, but we must trust Him, and trust don't come by us telling Him the way we think it ought to be. One of my favorite verses in the bible is also found in the book of Isaiah. Ch,40:31. But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint. I hope I am waiting upon the Lord, and not blaming people for everything that goes wrong with me. The root of every problem in our life began with our own way of failing to keep it chopped down. Every root will grow whether good or bad, but it's up to us to keep the bad cut down, and nourish the good with all of our might. The bigger the growth, the harder to chop it down. Let us not be hesitant to start to working on those old no good roots now.
God Bless
