My list of “if only-s” could go on forever. Given the sort of fertile imagination that I have, I could come up with an unending list of possibilities if this or that happened rather than what actually transpired. Moreover, we can always point to what is most probable, thanks to science, statistics, psychology (ahem), etc…
Still, we’ll never know and we can never tell. Only God has the final answer, and the final script. And playing victim is never the winner’s option but the whiner’s. What has happened has happened. What has been said has been said. What has been set has been set.
In the same way, what will happen will happen. What will be said will be said. What will be set will be set. One who chose the straight path will still keep his fingers crossed similar to the one who chose the crooked. (Most of us should know. Most of us have been through both.)
Although we are ultimately responsible for our own choices and actions, there will always be that invisible but real divine force that will exceed all other factors in the impact that it will have to the events of this world. Perhaps it’s not entirely hopeless after all. At times we just have to be the meek one, so as not to make a mountain out of a molehill. Once in a while I just have to be the diligent daughter, the grateful one. So much for those “if only-s”. God has a plan I know...and I am certain God’s ways are higher and even better.
so i say, all things work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to His purpose. rom8.28…i may not understand everything, how things worked, is working and would work, i know i just have trust.
i know that i have fulfilled the two prerequisites for that conditional statement–> i love God and i know i have been called according to His purpose…
