Connecting The Dots

It's easy to get discouraged about unpleasant circumstances or to take unimportant events too seriously. You may not be looking at life from the right perspective.

I pray that your hearts will be flooded with light so that you can understand the wonderful future he has promised to those he called I want you to realize what a rich and glorious inheritance he has given to His people. Eph. 1:18 (NIV)

The theme of my blog is about how our circumstances and relationships in life help us determine His purpose for our life. Think of any life altering event as a dot in a 'Connect the Dot' puzzle. As you think about your past, you will begin to see the path and purpose God has for you. The stranger you sat beside on a flight to California. The loss of a family pet as a small child. The sickness of a child. Diagnosis of a disease. Death of a loved one. A shattered childhood dream. Divorce. Estranged/Broken relationship with a loved one or friend. Child abuse. All these things draw a path towards Him. As we draw closer to Him we should obtain Hope for our future.

For the hope which is laid up for you in heaven, whereof ye heard before in the word of the truth of the gospel. Col. 1:5 (KJV)

Even though we are being tried we must look inside our circumstances and seek God. He is there because He said He would never leave us or forsake us. God is wanting to see our faithfulness and how he keeps his promises to those that are true to him.
