God's plans don't always align with ours.
Jesus, help me to keep my eyes on you and my faith in you even when i don't understand what you are doing!
Therefore, I tell you, her many sins have been forgiven—as her great love has shown. But whoever has been forgiven little loves little."
Luke 7:47 NIV
