trust

The story is told of a little blind girl, sitting on her father’s lap during a long train ride. After a few hours a fellow passenger offered to take the little girl on his lap, to give the father a rest. The father consented and lifted his daughter to her new spot. After a while, he asked her, “Do you know who is holding you?” She answered, “No, but you do.” She could rest easy because she trusted that her father would not let her sit with just anyone.

Sometimes in life we go through trials and experiences that we cannot understand. It is a great comfort to imagine our Father asking us, “Do you know why this is happening to you?” And realizing that we can answer with that same trust, “No, but you do.”
