I will never understand why God chose to do things the way He did. However, I learned that only pain and isolation come from blaming God and oneself. So, from now on I choose to seek God, rather than seek blame. I choose to trust God knows more than I can see or understand.
When life is tough, we find ourselves on our knees. We seek help and reassurance in prayer. But what if I said, it was more important to seek God even on the good days? This is because you cannot pour from an empty cup. And God alone fills our cup.
Have you ever said, “I will be happy when …”? When I can drive, when I graduate, when I establish my career, when I find the perfect partner, when I buy a home, when I have a child . . . Many people feel saying this is just an expression of a dream or goal. And goals are imperative in life. But thinking in these terms is more of a negative mindset. We are basically saying we aren’t happy now and won’t be until we achieve something. The problem is, once the goal is achieved, it doesn’t satisfy. Then, we immediately set a new one, “Well, maybe I will be happy when …”
