Keep the faith

This world is full of disappointment. It's full of let downs, suffering, and things that just makes people ask: "Why?" The answer is faith. We need and desire it. Having faith gives us hope for something better, something that is perfect. We need to remember not to worry about what happens in our lives. We are perfectly alright because God will take care of our needs and our wants. That is if that's really what we really want and need.

Just because we think that this is what we want doesn't make it true. We have a habit of looking at things with our minds not our hearts. We want to go to the TOP schools, the BEST restaurants, own the MOST luxurious cars and houses. But that is all our minds doing. That isn't going to give us happiness and hope and a way to beat off the pain of this life.

The only way we can do these things is TRUST. Trust that God has the blueprints. Trust that God has the tools. Trust that God is in control. So often in our lives we forget these things. We become discouraged. We lose that little flair that brings happiness and joy into our lives and the lives around us. We don't look to the one in control. We ask ourselves over and over: "Why did this not work? Why did this fail? What did I do wrong?"

The thing that was wrong was trying to change Gods plan or His timing. It failed because it wasn't either entirely meant for you or just not at the right moment. This was inspired because so often in life we forget that we have no real control over our lives. I mean we can turn away from the Path and stray away. HE typically lets it happen because that is the way we learn. We are hard headed and stubborn. We only learn through our mistakes and only then after we make a ton of them.

We just need to keep our eyes, minds, hearts, and souls set on Him. Our actions will reflect it and we will be brought far more joy in life.

God Bless

God had planned something better for us so that only together with us would they be made perfect.
