trust His heart

when things or people disappoint you, or life doesn't go like you planned it, how do you deal with it?

for me, it's something i'm still dealing with.

yesterday my friend's father passed away. my friend is pretty young, and going through some major exams now. why, God, did you allow this to happen?


i don't understand.


during rehearsal yesterday, some of the plans that i had made were met with opposing opinions. i didn't know how to react. i felt out of my league, i didn't want to take charge, i didn't want to give in, but i didn't want to be proud either. why did God allow things to become so confusing?


i don't understand.


this song speaks to me, as it has time after time in the past:

all things work for our good
though sometimes we can't see how they could
struggles that break our hearts in two
sometimes blind us to the Truth

our Father knows what's best for us
His ways are not our own
so when you pathway grows dim
and you just can't see Him
remember He's still on the throne!

Chorus:
God is too wise to be mistaken
God is too good to be unkind
so when you don't understand
when you don't see His plan
when you can't trace His hand
trust His heart

He sees the master plan
He holds the future in His hand
don't be as those who have no hope
all our hope is found in Him

we see the present clearly
but He sees the first and last
and like a tapestry, He's weaving you and me
to someday be just like Him!

Chorus:
God is too wise to be mistaken
God is too good to be unkind
so when you don't understand
when you don't see His hand
when you can't trace His hand
trust His heart

Bridge:
He alone is faithful and true
He alone knows what is best for you!

Chorus.
