Today I heard from a friend whose husband had open heart surgery. Even though they did everything that they were told to do to avoid such a thing, he now has an infection in the wound. She pondered this and shared her thoughts. She likened this particular instance to life in general. How often do we think we are doing the right thing for the right reasons and yet, things don’t turn out the way we want. Or worse – sometimes bad things happen. As she cried out to God as most of us do – “WHY did this happen?” – she came to the conclusion that God doesn’t always owe us an explanation for the reason that things turn out the way they do. But God does ask us to trust Him and lean on Him particularly during these times. It was an enlightening message that really touched my heart. Perhaps because I have felt this was so many times. Yet, if I look back at every difficult situation that I have been through, God has brought me to the other side in such a way that I could not have imagined. He has always provided me what I need, when I need. It is not always in a huge way. Sometimes it is in a small comment someone makes or a song that comes on the radio or a scripture verse that I read that show me He really does have my life in His hands. Those moments give me hope and help me to remember how much He loves me and those around me.

I Found God today in a faith witness that touched my heart.
