Sometimes things fall apart so that better things can fall together.
But what if I don't want them to fall apart?
You know that little picture floating around facebook? A little girl is holding her precious, dearly loved teddy bear in a strong embrace looking up to Jesus sadly saying "but I love my teddy bear LORD..." What she doesn't realize is that Jesus has a bigger, fluffier, cuddlier teddy bear for his little daughter.
How true is this picture. We, as humans, when we find something that we are comfortable with don't ever want to let go of that thing because we feel like it keeps us together, or it's too precious, or it's the only thing making us happy. In reality, Jesus, who knows our future and life better than we could ever begin to imagine, has something in store for us that is better.
Don't be discouraged when a relationship, a house, a job opportunity, or anything of the sort falls through. God knows what he's doing. Keep your faith. Keep trudging up that hill. You may not understand now, but as soon as you clear that ridge and look over the horizon you'll see why those temporary things had to fall apart, so the better things could fall together.
