DIVERSITY

Ah the joy of having options. Such a thrill to have more than one choice in life for a given situation.

Now most of the time for me this isn’t the case. When it come to the Lord’s will most of the time it is simple.

I am normally only given one option. So it is not hard to know His will. Now that is how things unfold for me.

Still there are times when life does have more then on door appear. And it make seem like there are going to be so many choices.

For a while then I sit and imagine the chance for it to be realize. Let those fantasies persist.

Then in the process they all eventually fade. Until one becomes the only one remaining. And you hope there is a key.

How many times I have definitely not found a key. Really is amazing how the door is there, but for different reasons that I imagine.

I don’t mind so much because in due time I come to see the reason. And in the meantime faith truly has to prevail.

It can be hard. So very difficult to deal with the no. And to take the time to not give up on the process.

That is the way that Satan would have us go. To get discouraged and detoured from our path.

Experience truly helps to us to prevail. To be able to move ahead and no question what at the time makes no sense.

It doesn’t mean we will enjoy the detour. Or be happy over the nos. But it does me we know there will be light to come.

And that is the part that brings the hope in the midst of the darkness. To be able to cherish each moment for the right reasons.

The Lord grants strength for such times. He doesn’t remove the barriers or the problems. Nor does He answer our questions on our schedule.

That is the promise we can hold onto when it is confusing. It is the joy that will allow us to move ahead.

If we chose to listen.
