Abiding With God in the Heartache and the JoySample

Beauty
How many times has a situation seemed utterly hopeless, yet with prayer and time, it has worked out astonishingly well?
How can we read the mind of God when we see only one perspective, our own? This passage from Ecclesiastes offers such assurance. My view is limited. By time, place, experience, ethnicity, gender, age, mental, physical, and emotional capacities, and the list goes on. Dare I believe that our heavenly Father can make the world’s brokenness beautiful in its time?
May we take the time to enjoy the beauty our Heavenly Father has created all around us, and may we especially search for beauty in others.
May we be thankful and seek to fathom what God has done from beginning to end, and may I see others as unfinished masterpieces.
Prayer
Eternal God, may I have an eternal perspective in my heart, and may I unearth it in others as you have put it in the hearts of all people. Amen.
Scripture
