Understanding

The things that we do not understand. Tend to control our thoughts and our reactions. Because if we know Why or someone tells us the reason,..we feel as if a void is filled. It's like our minds just cannot deal with NOT UNDERSTANDING when bad things happen, We relive the moment or the news of the moment over and over again, as if repetition will bring closure.

The TRUTH is,...we are not supposed to UNDERSTAND every action, every incident, every loss, every pain. Our responsibility is to accept it. It seems cold and it seems like there is no closure in acceptance. But there is no closure in longing for understanding and explanations. I have been through enough in my life to say,......God does NOT always leave us with a clear answer. He does not always make an obvious explanation. Not because God doesn't want us to KNOW, But because HE works in a way that we as humans cannot fathom. And IT makes sense.

He is God,....if we could figure him out and break down every single thing he does so that we can GET IT,..then he would be more like US. To much like US. We want to wrap our heads around the most painful things. But KNOWING does NOT take away the pain and the confusion. Sometimes KNOWING hurts worse. Proverbs 3:5 "Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding;"

Our understanding is so small and so easy. We understand the obvious simple things that happen. God's work and his understanding is complicated and designed for a purpose. That is why there will be times, when all you can do is TRUST HIM. The times when NOTHING makes sense, trusting God is the ONLY thing we can do,
