The Great Ruler of the Universe, My Perfect Parent

I reflect on my recent disappointments.

I knew and in fact had always known that I would soon arrive at a place where peace would dwell in my heart and I would lift my hands to the skies and thank the Force who had planned it all for me.

Yet, the limited human mind in the realization of denied dreams, darkened hopes had chosen to ignore the comforting words of the deeper voice within.

I was so wrong about God. My God like the perfect parent I had always known him to be, was not punishing me. Far from it. He is a good God. How can I not expect anything but good things from His hand? Yes, He had denied me this time the aspirations the ambitious me had always worked towards. But when I surrendered my dreams to Him, and waited on Him to speak, I realized that He loves me so much that he does not give me the things that would not make me happy.

My God knows me better than I know myself. He has always known me better than I had ever known myself...like the perfect parent.

Now, I can trust and wait and hope and trust even more..Thank you, Father.
