Unanswered Questions

A three-year-old little girl in the doctor’s office tearfully asked why Mommy and Daddy let the doctor give her a painful shot. The parents have the big picture of their daughter’s health and well-being that her little heart cannot yet grasp. Although the little girl may be confused momentarily, she knows deep inside that Mommy and Daddy still love her. That’s what it’s like when our questions to God go unanswered. God sees the whole picture of His plan and purpose for our lives when our hearts don’t yet have the capacity to understand the answers. Unanswered questions do not negate God or His love, however.

So don’t let them become barriers to trusting Him. Instead, rest in what you know to be true deep inside: your Heavenly Father sees the big picture of what is best for you, and He still loves you very much.
