Word-filled Wednesday


"Your eyes saw my unformed substance; 
in your book were written, every one of them,
the days that were formed for me,
when as yet there were none of them."
Psalm 139:16

What I would have said.
She was a woman who was fearfully and wonderfully made.  Her Creator knew every hair on her head.
He has loved her with a love that goes beyond all measures.  
He had a plan for her life and so many times when we face loss of someone young, we struggle to understand all the, "whys".  I don't have all the answers, but I do know that as we wrestle to understand and make our way through this life, the same Creator that had a plan for her has one for us.  We are put together by no mistake.  We are divinely set in families and friend relationships with great care.  Becki's life has left fingerprints all over each of our lives.
It's likely we will continue to wrestle with the whys, but I know that with each turn of restlessness and each tear that falls we can trust the one who sees it all.  

"When the righteous cry for help, the Lord hears and delivers them out of all their troubles.  The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in spirit." Psalm 34:16-17

"You have kept count of my tossings; put my tears in your bottle.  Are they not in your book?"
Psalm 56:8


Blessings, Connie

Connie,
This is beautiful. It Is comforting to know that we have a God that loves us and knows every hair on our head and catches all our tears. And it's so true, we don't jnkw all the whys but we know who does.
