The Distance

There often seems to be a distance between our hopes and our realities that stifles our joy and makes for black deathly sentiments deep within our hearts. These feelings can come to seem normal. For those of you who have met with such despair and found a waiting faithful companion I have a small suggestion: think on the person of God... give it some real thought. We worry that we are not as we would be and yet the things we long most for are not things we can provide. The things we wish to change the most are not things we have any power over.

The distance between sometimes tells us of our naive expectations- and sometimes of our low ones. When we feel inadequate... do we consider our maker? The best medicine for frustration, disappointment, and despair is to commune with the one who made us. It is in our best interests to consider Him first. Consider Him in all that has been revealed to you- consider His wrath, His justice, His anger, His vengeance, His holiness- and perhaps when you are afraid of Him, His love, mercy and compassion will be a wonder to you. Then perhaps, when you see yourself in your place... perhaps then your dark thoughts will be something else.
