St Teresa of Avila once said, “Yours are the hands, yours are the feet, Yours are the eyes, you are His body. Christ has no body now but yours,”
As a foot or a hand we can only see what a foot or a hand could see; only one perspective; only one moment. Christ’s body as a whole, however, sees everything as a whole, in focus. We must wait, though, until we meet Christ at His throne to see as He sees.
Jesus knows you want to understand the future; knows you want everything to go as you want it to be. He knows you and exactly what you need. There is no need “to worry about tomorrow; tomorrow will take care of itself” (Mat 6:34).
We can only see part of the picture, so let’s surrender what is hidden from us to God’s will and say, “I don’t know what is going to happen, but He does and it is going to be great.”
