So much healing comes with understanding that I often want the understanding before I go forward. In other words, I want to heal before I act in obedience. I’ve found in my journey with God that, if I wait until I understand all the what-who-whys to move forward, I’ll get stuck.

Oftentimes insight into what all has transpired comes later & in layers. Some of it will await our seeing Christ’s face. We don’t have to understand it all to heal. A significant amount of healing comes in going on with God and trusting him & inevitably finding him faithful.

This I can tell you for dang sure: your future is ahead of you and not behind you. Go forward. God knows what he is doing. If you could see everything clearly, it wouldn’t be faith. One of the many gifts of aging in a walk with God is that you can look over your shoulder and see

that some pieces of the puzzle really did end up fitting. “Yep, this makes sense. Surely didn’t at the time.” In Ps 18, David said that, with the Lord’s help, he could leap a wall. Could it be that it’s time to leap the wall instead of stuck there waiting for God to write on it?

I’m filled with the strangest peace that God has had his way in the whirlwind & storm of these most recent years in my life. I’d never have written my own script this way but God who fully views the past, present & future gives me full assurance he knows what he is doing.

This morning I had a sense of closure over some things that had concerned me greatly. Now it’s time to face forward and give my heart fully—and happily—to the work ahead. I don’t understand it all but I understand this much: Forward march. There’s life and love ahead.

I share this just in case a brother or a sister also needed a little nudge.
It need not be well with your entire world to be well with your soul. The former awaits Christ’s coming. The latter only awaits your faith. God cannot be anything but good to you. Forward.
