Broken? Bruised? Abandoned? Betrayed? Lost? Hurting? 

Life WILL bring you blessings and grief. There is absolutely no getting around it. You can accept it or pretend it isn’t truth. Just a note, that works as well as pretending gravity doesn’t apply to you!

There is a freedom in accepting that truth. There is even more freedom in knowing that God is in control. He is the only one who does have control. He is the only one with full knowledge and view of the big picture. Complete. No pieces missing. A Masterpiece.

So…we can rail against the things we don’t like and think we can control or better yet, we can place our trust and confidence in the One who is in control, and loves us more than we can even begin to fathom.
