Hello lovely readers. This morning our church speaker quoted lyrics from a song. And I simply cannot get over how amazing these words are.
"Sometimes God calms the storm, but sometimes God calms the child." It makes so much sense to someone who has ever questioned why bad things happen in this life. Jesus told us that we would have troubles in this world. Jesus warned us of that, even guaranteed that it would happen. And even though He has the capability to stop every storm (every trouble, every struggle, every obstacle we may face), He doesn't always do that. And, with perspective we can see that sometimes it's the bad things in life that draw us closer to Him. It's all a part of his plan. The storms in life can cause us to look up.

this reminds me of one of my favorite quotes: "God doesn't give us patience, he gives us the opportunity to be patient". For the life of me I cannot remember where this is from, but anyway, like the qoute you posted, sometimes it's about us doing something, rather than always relying on him or expecting him to do something. Awesome Meghan, love it!! Comments are closed.
