The Importance of Being There
I have much to write to you, but I do not want to use paper and ink. Instead, I hope to visit you and talk with you face to face, so that our joy may be complete.—2 John 1:12 (NIV)
“You said, ‘Listen now, and I will speak; I will question you, and you shall answer me.’”
—Job 42:4 NIV
Job longed to understand God’s actions. Often when difficult times befall us, like Job, we want answers. Why did this happen? Faith will lead us to recognize that we can know and love God, yet we must accept that all of our questions will not be answered.
Heavenly Father, help me to find peace with all that is unanswered in my life.

The one who gets wisdom loves life; the one who cherishes understanding will soon prosper.—Proverbs 19:8 (NIV)
