I watch how hard you try to continue to draw near to Me, even as I allow things into your life which utterly exasperate you. Youre clinging to the belief that I am fully for you, and care more about you than you do. Then something happens which seems to undermine it all...I know. I watch. It deeply hurts Me to watch you experience such disappointment and a broken heart. You might try to let Me off the hook by reasoning that Im not fully in control of your world. Such thinking might maintain a measure of your affection for Me--like giving a pass for a grandfather who loves you but cant always remember your name. But this lie will ultimately ruin our relationship. I am fully in control of your world. There is nothing that happens, doesnt happen, refused, or delayed without My seeing it, or allowing it. I am in control of your life. And I love you more than you love you. My character cannot and will not do wrong. I take whatever your race has brought on, and I redeem, refashion, and rework it all into beauty beyond anything you could have possibly imagined. All things. Horrible things. Evil things. Chronic things. I decide what is allowed through and what it will accomplish. I decide what needs to be refashioned. But mostly, I stand in the arena, when you cannot stand, defending you and protecting you. I do not lecture; I do not mock. What I do, is love you. No matter how angry you are at Me, no matter what you imagine in your heart about Me. I enter into your pain more deeply than even you. This I can do. This I will always do. Until we are home together in the land where tears cease! (This excerpt taken from John Lynchs new book, On My Worst Day). God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; and death shall be no more, neither shall there be anguish (sorrow and mourning) nor grief nor pain any more, for the old conditions and the former order of things have passed away. And He Who is seated on the throne said, See! I make all things new! Revelation 21:4-5. The Amplified Bible.
