It may seem impossible to imagine right now, from where you are, that this season of your life, is temporary. Does it seem that your life is defined at the moment by your circumstances? That you might feel the way you are feeling forever? That this is your new reality? Beloved, wisdom speaks through God's Word. He is telling us that this pain is temporary..that we will transcend these circumstances..and that He has so much more in store for us that we can look forward to.
Have you ever seen one of those giant mazes...made by tall, carefully cut European shrubs? Have you ever felt as if you were sort of wandering in a maze..just not sure which direction is the way out? You're sure that the path to exit is just around the next bend in the maze..but you cannot see far enough in front of you to know how much farther you have to go? The mere idea of endurance without end would be overwhelming...but the ultimate perspective is from above! God sees the beginning and the end...and every twist and turn in between.
Don't give in to weakness by dwelling on what you see today. Look through it, as hard as it is, to the vision that is just beyond your sight.
