God has our best interest in mind, right?
Think about it. At a first thought, "best interest" to most people probably means ease, comfort, control, ability of knowledge, having our wants and desires fulfilled.
But, if we were given everything we wanted, or life just seemed to be constantly perfect - going exactly how we have planned, where would our realization of our dependence on the Lord come from? What would drive us to our knees in prayer? Would we really feel liked we "need" the Lord?
Reflecting on my life, it is in those difficult, challenging, hard, uncomfortable moments I feel closest to God.
In my weakness, His strength shines.
He is also the Giver of peace.
