Purpose in Paradox
The purposes of God are a paradox to the earthly mind. He teaches patience in waiting, singing in sorrow and contentment when faced with unmet desires. The weight of our circumstances reminds us that we cannot carry them alone and that we must cry out to God who is our only hope. He is faithful. He will not abandon us. Even when we feel we cannot take another step, He urges us on. At times when we feel our hearts will break if we hear one more word of discouragement, He lets us know that He will keep us. He knows that if we would stretch to do what we think is impossible, we will come that much closer to His goal of our understanding that when it is darkest, He is our light when we are weakest, He is our strength, and that we don't have to see before we believe.
