maybe, in the future...

... you're going to come back.

Sometimes, God brings you sunshine. He brings you beauty to fill you with joy. to make you smile. to fill your life with a blessing that you will remember long into the future. Sometimes, God brings you sunshine... and then that sunshine fades. It is not because God loves you any less. It is not because He is a mean God, a hurtful God. It is simply because God has something greater planned for your life. A sunrise to come that will surpass anything you have ever seen.

Sometimes, it doesn't make sense. God takes away things in your life that make you happy, that make your days brighter, that make you smile, that make you feel whole. He takes away your sunshine, and you don't why. It doesn't make sense. And it hurts. And sometimes, its unexplainable... sometimes, no matter how much you trust God, you still can't see why. But, if it wasn't meant to be, you have to trust that God has someone better for you. And, He knows your heart. He is holding it in His hands. He's not going to throw it away, He's not going to let it break. You have to trust Him. You have to have faith. You have to love God first. You have to put Him first. Seek Him, and someday... He will place someone in your life who won't leave. Someone who will love you and never let go.

See the lost loves and lost chances as gifts. God has a reason for everything. It's only a matter of letting Him show you what that reason is. See the beauty. See the happiness. See the memories. Reflect upon and smile - for what they taught you. For how they helped you grow up. For showing you new things. Nothing is ever lost, it's simply a road bump on the journey to a destination that only God knows. And He will show you - in time, with patience, with trust.

This is one of those moments. One of those moments when you're standing in the rain. Soaked to the bone. Not caring if you get sick. Not trying to move. You're standing in the rain and you're numb. All you can do is stand there and pray that someone comes to save you, to bring you inside, to warm you up again. This is one of those moments. You're standing in the rain and you can't see. You close your eyes. You don't know where to go, and you really don't care to try. And then, something wonderful happens. You feel the rain lessen upon your skin. You feel a ray of warmth. You open your eyes. And, that's when you see it... a beautiful rainbow. And then you know. This is one of those moments. God is saying, 'Have hope. I promise it will be okay.'
