A Sweet Life

      Sometimes it easier to trust and believe that God has wonderful plans and dreams for our life, then to wait for Him to lead us to those places. Today I know with all my heart that God is truly here and leading me somewhere. But it’s difficult to wait on Him timing. The plans that I keep making, always seem to dissolve away, as does sugar in the boiling water of life. What was once a solid piece of sweet rock as dissolved away till I can no longer see any evidence of it’s existence in that water, and I doubt that the water could be anything save the plain flavorless liquid I had begun with before I placed those little saccharine crystals into the hot bowl. It was obvious that now sugar could no longer be seen, and so I could not believe that the water would be sweet in flavor. 

But sometime things aren’t as it seems. For in my minds eye, when things don’t go as planed, and my dreams don’t play out as I would have first wished it so, it does not mean that what happens isn’t a good, sweet thing in my life. Just because I couldn’t see those sugar chrysalises did not mean that the water was not sweet, in-fact as the water dissolved the sugar it absorbed it and sweetened the liquid yet more than had the little hard rocks. Had I tasted of the water, I would have discovered a divine honeyed syrup sweeter than anything I could have imagine. And even so, in life even though my plans never seem to work out as I think should, in my own timing, I know that everything will work out according to God’s plans, and the things I cannot see Him doing now, I will taste as I watch my life unfold in God’s hands.
