life is a series of events. many are perceived as unfortunate, especially by me. but the truth is, all things are working together harmoniously in God’s plan, the goal of which is to bring him honor and glory forever and ever. and for those that love God, everything is working for our good, not our detriment. so why, then, do i let consequences get me down? i need more grace to realize that nothing in my life happens outside of his knowledge and love, and instead of allowing my mind to roam away from his promises everytime something doesn’t go my way, it’d be nice to graciously accept that i don’t know what’s best for me and to humbly submit my life and will to his. but i rebel and run away, try to fix things on my own, and end up getting in more trouble, or feeling further from God. i need more grace.
