Sometimes, life is just hard. Sometimes God has more for us than we can see. Sometimes what He has for us hurts.
Sometimes, I have to trust that God is God; and if I could understand Him, He wouldn't be God. Sometimes I wish I could just tell God my plans and He would just make them happen. But it doesn't work that way - because He is God.
Sometimes regret takes over, and I don't know what to do with it. But God proves faithful. Sometimes trusting God feels risky, because I don't know what He's going to do with my hopes and dreams, but it is never truly risky. Somehow He proves rewarding.
Sometimes I can't see the reward, and I fear that the reward will not turn out to be the one I asked for. But God is God.
Sometimes I have to remind myself what it is to live in a manner in which grace and mercy reign in my life. When sin wants to take over (which is more than sometimes), I remember what God gave up for me.
Sometimes I fail. Sometimes I give in to what is comfortable - what I feel like I deserve. But then I remember grace.
God is God. And God is good. I will never understand. But I am comforted by this.
God is God. And God is good. And sometimes, in my weakness, I see that that is enough.
God is God. And God is good. Not just sometimes, but always.
