Why?

So many questions. So seemingly few answers. But I know that I can trust in the God and Father of my Lord and Savior; Jesus Christ. I know He will give my heart peace, and quiet my turmoiled thoughts. I know He will remove the doubts. I know He will give me the answers. I know He will point me in the right direction.

There is only one problem. One question. One word. “Why?” It’s the one word that keeps me from sky-diving into my heavenly father’s arms. It’s the one word that holds me back from the blessings God wants to pour out on me.

It’s amazing how much power one word can have over our lives…
