I think I have seen anew of the faithfulness of God! God somehow has a way of redirecting my problems to find comfort in his character, even if he doesn't provide a direct solution to them.
I've been so thankful for this book on treasuring God by enjoying His gifts, because it has shown me that God is a God who wants a personal relationship with us, and chooses to reveal himself to us through life itself! he chooses to allow us to enjoy the sweetness of honey, the joy of music, the privilege of being a parent, the unfathomable mysteries of the sun/moon/stars/universe/earth, the intimate bond of marriage, the beauty of the wedding day and so many other things. He could just snap his fingers or speak, and in an instant make us perfect like his Son, but He chose not to. He chose to work through the story of life to draw us to him and to create a relationship with Him, like the author of a storybook. Through life, we can understand a bit of His mind through the analogies he draws from creation, and yet not in full, because we will only fully understand when we see Him in heaven (:
I hope I will never forget his mercies and let them grow dull in my mind! Even though I don't know what its like to be bride, I know I long for him, like a bride longs for her bridegroom. Perhaps I will understand this more fully, if I ever have a wedding day. But this is just a shadow of the relationship that I already have! Help me not to stray from loving You Lord! (:
