I wondered why it rained when the sun was what I needed.
Then I realized the rain washed away the dust that settled so easily on me as I
had recently taken to standing still.
I wondered why life seemed to pass me by. Then I realized
I was not living, just simply existing. Living requires participation.
I wondered why no one ever listened to what I had to say.
Then I realized I had only been talking about myself and all my troubles. I was
the one not listening to them.
I wondered why God had abandoned me. Then I realized I had
abandoned God.
I wondered why I was not happy. Then I realized standing
still, simply existing, whining and turning my back on God, does not make for a
happy life.
Four things...
1. See the sun when it rains.
2. Accept that life evolves with you, it doesn't
revolve around you.
3. Understand that God gave you two ears and one
mouth. You need to listen more than you speak.
4. Plan with God for He has plans for you.
