ALL FOR...

There are times in the course of following the Lord when the effort brings questions. You wonder if it is all worth it.

This is a problem when you don't see any promise of improvement in something when you are trying so hard. It leaves you feeling truly frustrated.

Nothing blesses or appeases that darkness. You feel you have fallen in a whole and can't climb out.

This gets so much more difficult when you find the path including nothing, but grief. All that happens is you end up with feeling it is all pointless.

What makes it worse is if you see others prospering. They may be doing what you are doing, but with joy and satisfaction.

And then no matter how much you pray or try to do the right thing nothing improves. Like you are trapped in a twilight zone or lament.

This is perception naturally. Not all we see is actually the way we view it. Lots of meaning lies beneath the surface.

And it is so easy to miss it when others don't tell us the truth too. They may paint an image of blessing, but beneath it all things are different.

And they will never admit it to such problems. That would ruin the illusion. But at times they will find a way to leak out the facts.

Often very casually like there is no real problem. But in truth they always have problems. Just like all of us.

But that can be so very difficult to appreciate. For that part when do have to embrace the greater reality.

Which is when we know there are times it counts more than others. Those are the ones where we discover God really loves us all.

And despite the impressions of some, he will not make life perfect for anyone. Just a matter of the battles we must endure.

Some are just better at making it seem like they have no problems. It does sound impressive. Even it if isn't true.

Truth often gets sacrifice in such situation. But God knows the difference and we will to listen to his spirit. That will always give light to what we don't necessarily understand with our minds.
