"He hath made every thing beautiful in his time: also he hath set the world in their heart, so that no man can find out the work that God maketh from the beginning to the end." Ecclesiastes 3:11
Rejections and disappointments. These are the things that have characterised this season of my walk with God. There is a veil in front of my eyes, rendering me unable to see any further than what my mortal eyes can gaze upon. In work and in romance, I see plenty of negatives in front of me. I am apt to feel discouraged and to despair, and although I have knowledge that God will ultimately bless me, I cannot help but feel so much doubt. It shows how much I pin my hopes to things of this world. It also shows how little and weak my faith and understanding of my relationship with God is.
What does my God want for me in my life? How do I seek it? How do I place all my faith in that direction and go boldly, trusting fully in Him? These are some questions that I admit I have not earnestly sought the answers to. I really, really, really need to cast all that I have at the feet of the Lord, and just cling onto Him in child-like faith.
