At times I am reminded of this because of the children we live with here. Many of these children simply want to be back with their parents. They will cry for them and long for them blind to the fact that the way these parents have treated them is what has lead them to be living with us. They don't see that. All they see is their parents whom they love and long for. In a small sense, this is just like every Christian in their faith. We long for things because on the outside they look and appear to be good. They seem to be what is best for us. We fight and we scream because we want these things. Yet, God knows ultimately what's best for us. As a resident caregiver, I see many children that don't see how right now this is where God has them. They want to go home and may hate everything about living with us. But right now - this is what is better for them. God knows what they need and right now they are safe here.
Is there anything better then that?
