But because HE is...


It's a good thing that I'm not GOD....

If I were, I would have provided for our needs by having my paycheck come in on time.

If I were, I wouldn't have allowed her to go through that experience that left her hating her reflection in the mirror.

If I were, I would have given him the ability to speak the language perfectly to make all of this easier.

If I were, I wouldn't have let that baby die before it met its wonderful family.

If I were, I would have softened his father's heart so that he could tell his family that he believed.


But because HE is...

HE provided for our needs through unexpected ways and even gave us the chance to take a vacation together.

HE used that experience to show her how beautiful she is to HIM.

HE is teaching us to rely on HIM to equip us.

HE wrapped HIS strong arms around them and comforted them in the way only someone who has also lost a child can.

HE spoke to him dreams, building the courage he needs to share with others.
