In the best of sensations, deepest joy, greatest happiness, tested strengths, refined character, royal grace, and most sacrificial love, we feel Him. In living these traits we express Him. In pain, limitation, confusion, and fear, we express the flesh. We lie torn in the middle. We are His heart, and He draws by His appeal our hearts from the death which pulls us down.
He uplifts us, brushes us off, and reminds us of His love. Then He sanctifies. And we must remember that all of His ways are perfect, just, and balanced. He is omnipotent, omnipresent, ubiquitous and omniscient! Do you honestly and truly believe there could be another way but His? And if this is so, then each of His promises are true now and forever, as they always have been without beginning as they have no end.
And if He promises us perfection of love with joy replete, then what sense does it make to doubt Him? What is there to be afraid of? He is the perfect Father and only good things come from His hand! Would I tell the Master "I'll take this but not that, thank you very much," with such audacity as doubting His goodness? What a horrifying thing to say to His Majesty!
Whatever the Master presents to me is good! Even if for a time it is painful, even traumatizing, He makes all things new. He is my Breath, my Fountain, my Food, my Shepherd and my Guard. Though He walks me through the valley of the shadow of death, there is no evil to fear! Because with Him, all things work together for His plan and His purpose.
Do you really believe it has been given us to understand all things? What sense would that make? What need would we have of Him if we had every answer He desires to provide? No! His answers are glorious! His truth is majestic! His revelations feed my soul! I know only what I need to, that He is in control. All else is provided in His time by His means according to His intent, and I would not dare question the Almighty because He is so wonderful wonderful wonderful to me.
