"Really?" I said. "I'm so weary. I just don't think I can do this. I don't even know how to begin to work my way around that." A feeling of despondency settled over me, and I threw myself to the ground and buried my face in my hands. Gut wrenching sobs escaped from my throat, but I didn't care who heard me. I didn't care about anything.
God knelt beside me and gently took my hand in His."In time you'll understand," He said. "You cannot travel any further on this road. You were so determined, it became necessary for me to completely block your way. The boulder, my dear, does impede your progress; but in doing so, it provides protection from what you cannot see that lies beyond. Take my hand, and let me lead you to safer travels."
Aligning my will with God's isn't always easy. But my limited mortal perspective, doesn't allow me to see what He sees. How humbling to be reminded time and again, that He has my best interest in mind...and the curtains on the windows of Heaven are never drawn.
