Life isn’t Fair
Sometimes life isn’t fair and things happen to us that we don’t understand, but in the midst of it all we fix our eyes on Jesus. This week I have been sending out queries for Literary Agents and it is rough. I don’t have the credentials I need or I don’t have a platform of 25,000 followers. I had one agency tell me that they wouldn’t work with me if I couldn’t get them at least $100,000 book deal. This was a Christian agency. I know one thing, God has a plan for my books and for our lives. No matter how many times I am rejected all it will take is the right one to say yes at the right time and only God knows who and when that is.
I have so many friends and family right now who are sick and those who have lost family members and it seems unfair. Sometimes I question if God is really involved in our day to day lives, but then I look back on just the last year of my life, and I see His hand so very clearly and know that Abba is right here with us. We see just a moment in time, just a snapshot, but our Father sees the beginning from the end. He sees all that was before and all that will be in eternity from this moment in time. His thoughts are higher than mine and His ways so much more than I can imagine. He knows things and sees things that I just cannot.
When I begin to question I have to refocus my eyes on the cross and lay down my need for control and the need to see the complete plan right now. I have to behold the finished work of Jesus and know that what I see in the cross is a Father who loves me so much that He did not even spare His own Son, but gave Him up for me. If He didn’t even spare Jesus, I can trust Him with every moment, good and bad. I can trust Him with my very life, knowing He will always work good and do what is best for Me. He always has my best at heart. God is ALWAYS good. God ALWAYS does good. I don’t get to understand it all right now, but someday I will know and see.
So today I will keep sending out queries and leaving it in God’s hands, knowing these books are His anyway, not mine!
