Routinely in our lives we find ourselves, in unfamiliar places, … away from what we would customarily consider normal. … It is easy to simply excuse it as life, but … in relation to God it is common and necessary, … not because he desires to hurt us, but out of his longing for us to grow. What if I told our lives here are not as precious as where we long to spend eternity? Therefore, it becomes more necessary for God to make us uncomfortable … sometimes, to usher us into new places. … Nothing occurs by chance, where things suddenly align … or contrariwise where we confess to being victims of doom or some crumbling plot. … Nothing occurs with us that God is unaware. … Where we go and where we are sent is purposeful and by design, … no matter if our heart desires to be somewhere else.
