i should be asleep lol. actually, i was well on my way...
ok, not really.
but i was lying in bed.
all the while, just thinking...
i thought about how often we react to a situation and we don't know the whole story. even still, we wish we had the whole story...but wouldn't that alter our reality? would it really make things better, or just further complicate things...???
i contemplated this...as i still am...and i'm reminded of a particular experience.
one of my friends mentioned that she'd prayed for me during a specific time period. (this was a while back)
within a week, her prayers were answered. what she didn't know was that yea, a change did occur (thus providing her with an answer to her prayer). but what she didn't know about was the hell i had to go through to get to that point, that "answered prayer."
...all you see is the outcome (most times). you never really get to see "the process". or, if you do see or are experiencing "the process," you don't get to see how that affects someone else.
imagine if she hadn't listened to God...disobeying Him not only affects you. it affects those around you, those in constant contact with you, those you love.
moral of this rambling: only God will ever see the Big Picture.
why wouldn't you just trust Him to guide you in life?
