faith


there is a window in your heart through which you can see god. once upon a time that window was clear. your view of god was crisp. you could see god as vividly as you could see a gentle valley or hillside.


then, suddenly, the window cracked. a pebble broke the window. a pebble of pain.


and suddenly god was not so easy to see. the view that had been so crisp had changed.


you were puzzled. god wouldn't allow something like this to happen, would he?


when you can't see him, trust him...jesus is closer than you've ever dreamed.


--in the eye of the storm


father, i believe that when i see you, any suffering that i endure on the face of this earth will be worth it. Help me to understand. And when I cannot understand, help me to trust.
