He knows what should be.

The ocean. That being the place where I am, is the reason for my absence from blogging. But right now, having a short amount of time, I sit down to write this. During these past few days, all I've been doing is enjoy the world till I cannot anymore. I've been spending the days waking up to beautiful warm mornings complete with the perfect sound of birds singing with the wind, along with the crashing ocean waves. And during the day, I've been going to the beach. Oh, how I love it. Just the sight and sound of it are enough to please my heart. 


Ocean has always reminded me of life. I see it reflected on every wave that falls upon the sand. It reminds me, and makes me think that it is just like it. The water goes and comes, back and forth, and always has. And some waves bring happiness, while others bring sadness and destruction. At times there is peace and calm, while at others there is confusion and an unsteady ground. 
And we are in this life. We are moving along with it. We are walking its ups and downs, sometimes with  tears of joy and others with sorrow. It sure is a crazy ride, but He is in control. He is. And our human flesh sometimes finds it easy to forget that. It moves us and deviates us. 
Sometimes we wonder why certain things happen in certain ways, we wonder why some waves destroy while others don't. We wonder why we do or do not this-or that- or why some things must be the way they are. Truth is, our sinful soul and human mind cannot understand such things, so all we must do is put our trust in Him. He knows the answers to all the things we wonder and yet do not know their meaning, He knows why some waves are peaceful and some are deceiving. 
We don't. And that's okay. 
Because life goes on, just like the ocean waves, ruled under His control and steady hand to guide unsteady ones like us. He brings happiness just at the right time. He brings unhappiness just at the right time. And all of this is for a purpose- a perfect plan for us, while we still live in this world. He knows what is best while we walk towards Heaven. He never fails to make things His way. 
God never stops the ocean, never stops its waves. He never stops doing what's best for us. 
He never fails to be perfect.
