All we know for sure is what we see in our own situation. From that grass-is-greener vantage point, it’s easy to dress up our imaginary fantasy lands in colors to match the rainbow. But we can’t know, as God does, the harsh realities we’d have faced in places we’ve never been. So in order to shelter us from danger, He sometimes hedges us inside areas that, although perhaps extremely uncomfortable and unwanted, are much safer than we realize, much less painful than what we could be experiencing.
