| | Have you ever thought that the person who you have become isn't the person who you want to be? Or the person who you want to be/have become isn't someone you know at all? Maybe even the person you have become in the eyes of others isn't the same person that you know and see? But HE knew what He was doing and He still knows you. "For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb." (Psalm 139:13) Yet, one of the hardest things in life is to accept the future that has been so carefully planned out for you; you, that person that you have become. It may not look so perfect and it will probably be hard to understand from the eyes' of its beholder and probably those around, but how do we accept to experience the good if we don't trust and know that His plans aren't to harm us? Persecution is inevitable in this world, whether it may be the verbal kind or physical...but the harm is only to the physical body in the physical realm. And that includes the flesh; There is no pleasing the flesh through the fulfillment through the temptation without a cost. "But I said, "I have labored to no purpose; I have spent my strength in vain and for nothing. Yet what is due me is in the LORD's hand, and my reward is with my God." (Isaiah 49:4) And yes, sometimes the hard part will be accepting the truth, but the great part is knowing: Knowing that He is Good and He is Love and His judgments are far beyond any righteousness that we can fathom. For, "Before I was born, the Lord called me; and from my birth he has made mention of my name." THAT'S love...a love worth the price.
