What lies ahead of us is a vast emptiness we cannot comprehend. We know that we do not know what is set for our future but we constantly make plans and think about it. We even reached the point of being afraid and being worried about our future, when the truth is we actually never know what is there for us. The only thing we can do is let go of all these and let God take care of it.
