What happens when the weather in your life never seems to change? The sun stays hidden for years, the rain doesn’t stop, and the clouds never part. Where do you go what do you hold on to?
The thought that I have is that we have to believe in something. We have to hope that there is someone or something greater than us that will see us through, and provide a raft when the water is high, or shelter, when the hurricane sounds outside the door of our existence. For me that is God, the something and someone that I fall into the arms of.
I think that it is funny how you hear of coincidences in life, that aren’t really coincidences at all but designed. For many years now I have believed that we live a life of no coincidences but rather we are apart of a wonderful and perfect plan that through faith only we can follow and stay present. It is easy to doubt, easy to make excuses, but in doing so you rob yourself of the one thing that life foundationally is built upon, faith. Faith that says we are in and of ourselves not strong enough to function alone that we need help, we need guidance and direction. Faith that stands as a guardian from ourselves and our choices as being the end or seeming it is the end and we are left to nothing but hopelessness. Faith that sees a crack in the clouds, a letting up of the rain, and a confidence that the sun will shine again, and we will bask in its radiant light. If the world can be created in a day, and the stars placed one by one, we can trust that we are in safe harbor with the author of life.
