God Knows.
One of my favorite places to be is my car. I love driving and taking the time to be alone; I think, I pray, I commune with God. This is where the introverted portion of my extroverted-introvert personality really thrives. Perhaps it's odd to you but to me the driver's seat, after the celestial room of the Mount Timpanogos temple, is one of my most sacred and favorite spots to be when I need one-on-one time with my Heavenly Father.
Today I was out 'n about running some errands for my grandparents when I decided to turn off the music and drive in silence for a while. Lately I've had a lot of things going on in my heart and mind that I've been trying to work out and have for some time sought guidance and counsel in my daily prayers. You know that feeling when something makes total sense in your heart - that calm, reassured feeling - but everything else around you tells you the opposite? I have been feeling that pull particularly strong the last few days, when all of the sudden as I was turning off University Ave. at the base of the canyon, the thought came to mind "God knows." The first time I didn't think anything of that thought, but then it came again a few minutes later when I headed north toward Lindon. GOD KNOWS. It wasn't a shout, but rather a sure, firm statement of truth. If the first thought could've been written in lowercase and the second in all caps in my brain, that's what it was like. GOD KNOWS. He is aware. He is loving. He is unconditionally kind and good. He is light. He is the way. And He knows what we need, what we are thankful for, and what we dream of long before we ourselves know it. What a beautiful, wonderful truth. In it I find solace and peace. Everything will work out, everything will be okay.
