Knowing God

This morning, it's quiet and peaceful with nothing to do as most of my work is done. I'm sitting at my table looking back at time gone by.

I remembered this conversation I had with a girl friend on MSN the other day and she told me how she felt depressed because her instincts were telling her that she was losing her boyfriend, the one person at this point in time that trully understands her.

I struggled to understand her and in my heart, I couldn't help but feel like telling her that if her instincts were strong, then she should just move on. She went on about how she felt God was punishing her and that God had left her. I continued to struggle as I continued to listen to her. Then like a lightning bolt, God hit me on the head and said, "You were once like that."

Oops...yes Lord, I was once like that. I am still like that sometimes. When I drive home alone at night, I sometimes blame God for my singleness.

But as each day passes, I am learning that God is right in every way. We need to let him decide for us what is best for our lives because the more we move away from him, the more our life seems to go the wrong way.

Cyn came to me the other day with a dilemma that I will not divulge. That moment, God spoke to me through her problem. He made me see that waiting, is the best for me now. That being patient is a virtue he values. That taking a stand for what we Christians believe, is always the high way but also most dangerous one. That compromise in not equally yoked relationships leads us to the fall ever so slowly.

Knowing these lessons, I am grateful. I have more to learn but going God's way, is the only way.
