When you can't see His plan. . .

It's been an excruciating week. And a good week. Pastor Ron Dunn once said, "Good and bad run on parallel tracks and usually arrive at about the same time." It's been true for me more than once. Maybe more like a million times. This past week was no exception. Some of our "heart friends" came to visit last week. God refreshed us through them. Other news came to us that shook us to the core. 

And then Daniel reminded me of this song. 

Trust His Heart

by Babbie Mason and Eddie Carswell


All things work for our good
though sometimes we can't see how they could
struggles that break our hearts in two
sometimes blinds us to the truth

Our Father knows what's best for us
His ways are not our own
So when your pathway grows dim, and you just can't see Him
Remember you're never alone

God is too wise to be mistaken
God is too good to be unkind
So when you don't understand
When you don't see His plan
When you can't trace His hand
Trust His heart

He sees the master plan
And He holds our future in His hands
So don't live as those who have no hope
All our hope is found in Him

We see the present clearly
But He sees the first and the last
And like a tapestry He's weaving you and me to someday be just like Him

God is too wise to be mistaken
God is too good to be unkind
So when you don't understand
When you don't see His plan
When you can't trace His hand
Trust His heart

He alone is faithful and true
He alone knows what is best for you
So when you don't understand
When you don't see His plan
When you can't trace His hand trust His heart

This is where I'm living today. I can't see. I don't understand. Some days I'm even struggling to believe the truth that God is "too good to be unkind". But I know that I shall pass through this storm. I only pray I am stronger because of it.
