I Want What He Wants for Me
It’s painful when hope dies, no matter what sort of hope you cling to. And I question and wonder, all along knowing He’s okay with me questioning and wondering. No matter what, I still trust because His track record with me is one of unflagging faithfulness. He always has my best in mind. The truth is this: my plans for the future seem pretty fabulous when I map them out. And then I look at His grand design and realize settling for fabulous is pretty darn stupid when He has marvelous magnificence in mind. Fabulous is pretty good, but He takes that fabulous and enhances it – intensifies it – magnifies it – into untoppable magnificence. I want what He wants for me. And I trust that His “no” on this topic translates to “I have something better in mind.”
