I may not understand.

I woke up this morning with the bright sun beating through my window and I heard these words:

“You may never understand until the other side of eternity what it meant for you to walk in obedience.”

As I continued to listen closer I heard something else. “You are not called to understand.” Simple, yet powerful words that knocked me backwards. I am not called to make sense of everything in my life. I am called to follow the still small voice that gently leads me in the way I should go. Do I handle things perfectly? Not even close. Are there days that I will possibly look back and wonder how I could’ve done a few small things differently? I have no doubt. Nevertheless, I feel His arms around me and that gives me the comfort and love that I need. I am not called to understand, I am called to obey.
