CLARITY:

~

When we are in the midst of an experience, it is easy to forget
that there is a Plan.

If we were to watch a weaver sewing a tapestry for only a few
moments, and focused on only a small piece of the work. It would
look like a few peculiar threads randomly placed.

How often we use that same, limited perspective to look at our
life – especially when we are going through a difficult time.

We can learn to have perspective when we are going through
those difficult learning times. When we are being pelleted by
events that make us feel, think, and question, we are in the
midst of learning something important.

We can trust that something valuable is being worked out in us
– even when we cannot get our bearings. Insight and clarity do
not come until we have mastered our lesson.

Faith is like a muscle. It must be exercised to grow strong.
Repeated experiences of learning to trust that things will work
out, is one of the things that makes our faith muscles grow strong.
