Sometimes you think you're seeing things the way they really are. Then God opens your eyes, and you realize you were seeing everything through a filter. Maybe for a time, you needed that filter to be able to do what He asked you to do, so He only showed you things in part - like seeing through a glass darkly. But once the need is gone and you've done all He's asked you to do, He lifts the 'veil' and shows you reality. That's when you realize you can't do any more. He has to step in and take over.
It can feel like a smack in the face, and hurt like nothing else can. The purpose for that is so you can let go - like what happens when you're holding something hot and it burns your skin. When the pain registers, you drop the thing that was burning you.
Then something amazing happens.
He tells you it's all part of a process. It's not the end, it's only a part of the whole. If you'll let Him, He'll show you the beginning from the end and all that comes inbetween. He'll show you where things are in the timeline of the miracle you've been praying for. Although He doesn't give you dates and times the way we judge those things, by doing that, He renews your hope, and your strength. He heals the pain the process can cause, and helps you hold on until you see the miracle He's already put in place, the answer that is already settled in heaven.
