Instead of accepting the irritations of life,
many people struggle with what I call the “if onlys.” “If only I didn’t have
diabetes (or deafness or sinus infections).” “If only I were not infertile.”
“If only I hadn’t gotten into that bad
business relationship (or lawsuit or loveless marriage).” “If only we didn’t have a sick child.” “If only we weren’t
so strapped financially.”
Are you struggling with “if onlys” today? If so, we encourage you to release them to God. He has a perfect, loving plan for all of your life— even when life seems less than ideal. We may not see why God allows hardship in our lives, but we can be assured it is part of His eternal plan for our good. He asks us to accept His love and reach in humble dependence for His sufficiency.
