Who knows the Heart of a man or woman, but God and perhaps that man or woman?
Many things that look one way from the outside are anything but that on the inside.
Grief is the silent companion and something we all share at one point or another, like death and taxes.
What is most important is on the inside near to the Heart and many times, like it or not this does not always translate properly to the casual onlooker or with the briefest of glances.
Why say these things? Because one must be satisfied with the knowing in one's own Heart, and not always look to others for intrinsic support. It is nice when this happens, but like weather, it cannot be relied upon.

We must be ready in times of 'testing' to hold to that which is "true and of good report". LET GOd help you. So often, when times are smooth, it is easy to forget that nothing is lost on God. Nothing is not known to God. Our shortcommings and our intentions and the yearnings of our Hearts all laid out on that muliti-dimensional tapestry for the Weaver of weavers. It is something to take solace in.
You are Known.
Your Sweetness is Known.
Your good intentions are Known.
Your humanity is Known....and is something we all share.
Take refuge in the ONE.
You are Shared of the One of the All That Is.
