You started the journey together- Your Lord and you
The journey was supposed to be pretty simple- all the good boxes get checked
And you knew exactly what those boxes were!
If they’d told you there were going to be dark days- you wouldn’t have believed it
If they’d told you there were going to be cold nights- you wouldn’t have believed it
If they told you people who didn’t try so hard would get some of those things you had ever wanted… you definitely would not have believed it
But simple was not His plan, not for you
And the journey- it was not about arriving, but becoming
Somewhere along the way, you began to see…
You are not everything, but you’re something really special
You needed to let Him lead
You needed to let His power through
You needed to stop getting in your own self’s way
Though there were some lessons you wished you never had to learn…
But beautiful… that’s what your whole story has been. And is. And will be
Even in the moments you couldn’t see- it was beautiful
You see, there are many versions of the story of grace…
And every story of grace is beautiful
Everything is appropriate in its own time.
But though God has planted eternity in the hearts of men, even so, many cannot see the whole
scope of God’s work from beginning to end
Ecclesiates 3:11
