A Reason for Everything

Sometimes it's hard to believe that He gives what He knows is best. When things don't seem to turn out the way we expect them to, the first natural thing to do is to point fingers and look for someone else to blame. The victim always feels victimised, and questions whether the actions of others are neccessary or justified.

'Why me?' we ask. 'It's not fair' becomes our constant complain. Disappointments, set backs, let downs ... inconveniences that are a necessary but uncomfortable process in building stronger roots that will be able to withstand the elements and blows that come our way.

What we often don't realise - or conveniently choose to forget - is that EVERYTHING (the good, the bad and the ugly) happens for a reason. Though we may not see the rationale of it at that time and cannot for the life of us understand why certain things have to happen the way they do, He has allowed them for reasons only known to Him.

For our part, we are just called to wait on Him and move as He leads.
