Faith....

In Nancy Misslers book "Faith in the Night Seasons" she talks about "real faith is not seeing, not understanding, not feeling and not knowing. Real faith is simply trusting, no matter what we see happening, no matter what we understand to be true, and no matter what we feel like, that God will be faithful to His Word and perform His promises to us in His timing and in His way." Wow, do those words hit home with me. I still am not able to see why, and understand why Robin had to suffer so terribly in her last months of life. I may never know why while I live on this earth. I do know that I have a loving Father who says, Gayle, My thoughts are not your thoughts, Nor are your ways My ways... My ways are higher than your ways, and My thoughts than your thoughts.. Is 55:8-9. Just to think, His plans are so much bigger than I could ever imagine. That motivates me to want to hang on to this ride He has me on... Wow! God is so incredibly awesome and powerful! I pray you will dig into His Word and rest in His comfort
