God is in Control

[amai heian]

When things begin to go wrong, people believe their fate is in their own hands.

In a way, this is true. You are the master of your own fate. You control your life, your future, your destiny. And the consequences of your actions are all yours to bear: no one else can.

But in one way or another, you will see that this is only partially true. In all the actions you make to build, brick by brick, your own future, God's hand is always present in the making.

When things seem to end for the worst, people assume there is no way out. No matter how many times they look in all the possible angles, the end they dread seems all the more possible.

But when things turn out the way you don't expect them to be, you heave a sigh of relief and everything just seems clearer now: Never lose hope no matter how dark the morning is. Chances are, the sun will always break through those stormy clouds lining your days.

No matter how impossible the solution may be, or how bleak the possibilities are now, there's still a chance--albeit a very small margin--that things will go right for you. God holds you closely in his keeping; everything will be according to what he knows is right for you. There will be obstacles and suffering, but in the end, you can always confidently say: Justice dealt and justice done--God is in control!
