Why are we so hesitant to enter in when we are already IN Him as He is in us?<br /><br />I can also relate to your sense that "it is my burden to figure it all out, connect all the dots and bring resolve." And then your lovely insight instantly resolves it: "What I forget is when I am close to something, everything else is distanced." How very true this is. Pointillist paintings cannot be seen for what they are until we step far back from them. Many of our experiences are perplexing to us because we are so close to them. Only God has the perspective and wisdom to see the whole picture, to know what is right for us and our loved ones. <br /><br />Thank you for writing from your heart. I've lifted you up in my prayers this day.Chris Ssuter Manionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10973133394172086589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1471335342721001389.post-4949956479859609392017-12-02T16:07:04.510-08:002017-12-02T16:07:04.510-08:00This comment has been removed by the author.Chris Ssuter Manionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10973133394172086589noreply@blogger.com
