We only see in part
And cannot understand
The fullness of God perfect love
Or working of His hand
Sometimes the things we see
Of hurt and pain and grief
Are whispers of God’s love to draw
Us from our unbelief
We cannot see the plan
Inspiring His will
All we can do is trust the One
Who whispers, Peace, be still

Recently I heard someone reminds us that we were never
intended to understand God or His ways, but we are to trust Him, knowing His
way is perfect.
Peter didn’t understand either when Jesus told them that He
is going to suffer and die, and then rise on the third day.
From that time
Jesus began to show his disciples that he must go to Jerusalem and suffer many things from the
elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and on the third day be
raised. And
Peter took him aside and began to rebuke him, saying, “Far be it from you, Lord!
This shall never happen to you.” But he turned and said to Peter, “Get behind me, Satan! You are a hindrance to me. For
you are not setting your mind on the things of God, but on the things of man.”
Matt. 16: 21-23
We cry ‘why’
He whispers trust
We cry ‘fight’
He whispers peace
We cry ‘take’
He whispers give
We cry ‘revenge’
He whispers love
We cry ‘self’
