I dont know if you have ever herd of the saying "life has a meanig" but i was looking at icons one day and found and icon that said it and i started to think.... dose life really have a meaning? I mean i think of it as yeah in a way life has a meaning. For me i understand what it means but what about all the kids in the world who dont have familys, food, shelter? what would they think of they saw that icon? If i was in there situation i know i wouldent think life had a meaning. Even when i am having a really bad day or something goes wrong i think why is this happending and dont understand the meaning oflife at that point of time. but then i think about God and how he has a spacific plan everyone in the world. I know its hard for people to understand that sometimes, i mean its even hard for me to wrap my finger around when i am having a really crappy day, but when i get calmed down i do understand. but it is a hard thing to understand.
when i think that saying i think of Amy Carmichael. She was a irish girl who had brown eyes and really wanted blue irish eyes. so everynight she would pray for blue eyes and god would not ancwer her prayer. she grew up with brown eyes and dident knwo why god gave her brown eyes. well when she got older she began rescuing children from the hindu temple. sence she wasent indian she had to make herself look more like indians. So she started to dress in sari and stain her skin. One day she looked in a mirror and saw that she really looked Indian and wouldent if been able to do it without the brown eyes.
that story to me is amazing and shows me how god dose have aplan for everyone and eventualy everything in your life will work out!
thanks for reading!
