'who has held the oceans in his hands? who has numbered every grain of sand? Kings and nations tremble at his voice. All creation rises to rejoice'
'A bruised reed He will not break, and smoking flax He will not quench'
'now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen'
This is so very, very hard. There isn't a whole lot in this life that we can know for sure. There was no way for us to know that this would be Princess Petunia's story. Probably a good thing too because I'm not sure we would have signed up for something like this. There is no way for us to know how long we'll be here in this horrid place of grieving and questioning.
But Praise God that there are some mighty, mighty truths that we do know for sure, even though we may not feel them right now....
Our Father has the power to bind Satan and cast him into the pit of hell, and one day soon He will do it.
Our Father has the power to make death but a footnote and a pathway to an even greater life.
Our Father has the power to make all things shout to His glory.
Our Father knows everything about our lives and orchestrates all things in our lives for our ultimate good. He is good and does good.
Our Father loves us and will not leave us. He is with us even 'to the end of the age.'
Our Father's Word does not return to Him void, but accomplishes His purposes. (one of our prayers for Princess Petunia)
One day we may more fully understand why all these things have happened, but until then, we will trust and pray for the strength to continue to trust.
