Sometimes life happens in ways that leave us quiet.
Not because we have nothing to say, but because the heart does not always have the words to explain what it feels.
There are moments when something happens and we stand still, asking questions that seem to echo inside us. Why did this happen? Why now? Why this way? We look for answers in people, in circumstances, and even in ourselves, hoping that somewhere the meaning will appear.
But many times, it does not.
Life moves forward while our hearts are still trying to understand the moment we just lived.
It is in those moments that we begin to realize something difficult and yet deeply true — that not everything in life will make sense to us when it happens.
Human beings see what is in front of them.
God sees what is ahead.
We feel the pain of today, but God sees the purpose of tomorrow. What feels like loss to us may be a quiet redirection. What feels like delay may be protection. What feels like confusion may be the beginning of a path we were always meant to walk.
But when we are standing inside the moment, it is hard to believe that.
When the heart is heavy, faith can feel fragile. When plans fall apart, it is natural to wonder whether life has lost its way.
Yet time has a gentle way of revealing things we could never see before.
One day we look back and realize that the moments we questioned the most were quietly shaping who we were becoming. The doors that closed forced us to walk toward others we would never have noticed. The delays that frustrated us protected us from paths that were never meant for us.
And slowly, almost unexpectedly, understanding begins to grow.
Not all at once.
But little by little.
Until one day we realize that what once felt confusing was part of a story being written with wisdom far greater than our own.
A story guided by a hand that never lost sight of us.
Because some things in life will always remain beyond our understanding — but never beyond God’s.
