Answer

One thing I’ve learned in uncertainty is that nothing is really uncertain. I may be surrounded with questions and confused by life, but there is reason. What’s more is that there is beauty in mystery. My favorite movies are not those that predictably lead to happily ever after, but those that hit your mind at the end with the puzzle piece that changes the whole perspective of what just happened; the kind that if you watched again with that new perspective would bring many ‘ahha’ moments. I like that life is often like that. God has a certain path He’s journeying us through. It’s hard and when we focus on the questions it can become dark at times, but if we keep trusting and keep walking our puzzle will be pieced together. I believe the secret is to realize He is our Answer. He sometimes reveals answers to the questions on our mind. Sometimes He gives ‘ahha’ moments to us in hindsight, but have faith in the moments that don’t seem to have meaning.

Walk by faith, not by sight. We hear it, read it and say it; but it remains one of our greatest roadblocks. There is purpose and it will be revealed one day. Yes, we stumble and fall over and over, but He will always pick us up and lead us through the dark nights.

How beautiful will it be when the restoration of our relationship with Him is complete and we stand before all His glory? How beautiful will it be when all the questions and confusion fall away in the greatest ‘AHHA” moment we will ever experience?
