Stained-Glass Windows
In some stained-glass windows, a strange phenomenon occurs. On one side, it is very rigid and bumpy and we are unable to see through to the other side. I parallel this to my own life in many ways. I have been through an insurmountable number of trials and tribulations in which I am not sure what is on the other side. The other side of a stained-glass window, though, is perfectly flat. The onlooker from the other side can see almost perfectly through to the other side. One can assume that this is the way that God sees our lives. He is the force behind all of our trials and tribulations which are designed to complete the story of our lives that God has created. His viewpoint is always complete with what is on the other side of that stained-glass window. I have since realized that God gives us our families to lean on, love to fill our hearts, His trust to count on, and the humility to believe that all things will fall into place according to His will.
