Father knows best...

Sometimes I'm so closed off to the way Christ sees things. Sometimes I have exactly everything I need, but since I didn't get it the way I planned to get it or the way my mind thought up best to go about getting it - I fail to see it. I fail to see that He provided exactly what I asked Him to provide, exactly what He promised to provide, but in a totally different way. In an awesome, twisty-turny, sort of way that only He can dream up. When I'm finally able to shake the fog from my heart and actually see with His eyes - all that is in front of me, all that He has done - I gasp with disbelief. And feel pretty darn foolish I hadn't seen it sooner. But it's also at that moment I can smile, look up to the sky and fully appreciate His mysterious and extraordinary ways. It's then that I fall in love with Jesus...all over again :)
