The Lord works in each of our lives in totally different ways. Why? He created us each uniquely--one of a kind. And the spiritual growth of each one of us matters to Him.
__________
To desire anything more than God's will is to open up my heart to the possibility--probability--of acting in the most selfish, maliciously cruel ways. And when the day comes when He makes me face up to that . . .
