Bear one another's burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ. Galatians 6:2

"When God places people in your life who are in need, He is aware of what they lack, and He knows He has given you the resources to meet those needs. You know God does nothing by accident." (Blackaby)

How true these words are and yet, what a comfort to know that I can read them backwards, thus:

"When God places you in others lives because you are in need, He is aware of what you lack, and He knows He has given them the resources to meet your needs."

Last night I poured out my heart to a friend.

As she listened, she heard my hurts - my burdens and she bore them with me.
But as she spoke, she fixed my gaze - my attention and she fulfilled the law of Christ.

My attention had been on the choices of others that wound not on the Sovereignty of God that heals.

She said: "You have to realize that God does give us a choice. And just because [someone] has made this choice, or [so-and-so] have made that choice doesn't mean that this is necessarily God's best for them. But He will take their choices and make them good."

How refreshing to know that God's in control of all things. Even when it looks like everything is crazy, mixed up, and going down the tubes!
