Someday we will know

I started reading a book called "Heaven...Your Real Home" by Joni Eareckson Tada. This section was particularly meaningful from Part 1,What Will Heaven Be Like, A New Mind:

"And with the mind of Christ we shall "know fully." Not halfway, but fully. While we were on earth, we only sort-of knew or partially understood that "all things that God kept working together for our good" and the good of others, especially in the midst of painful trials. Most of the time, we scratched our heads and wondered how the matted mesh of threads in Romans 8:28 could possibly be woven together for our good. On earth, the underside of the tapestry was tangled and unclear; but in heaven, we will stand amazed to see the topside of the tapestry and how God beautifully embroidered each circumstance into a pattern for our good and His glory.
   This will be one of those fringe benefits not essential for our eternal happiness, but simply nice to know. The parents of the little girl paralyzed in a drunk driving accident will understand. They will see how her accident touched the lives of friends and neighbors, sending out repercussions far and wide. They will see how God used the prayers of people halfway across the country; and how those prayers reached relatives and friends of relatives, rippling out farther than they ever dreamed. They will see how God's grace cradled their daughter, forging her little character with nobility and courage. They will see that nothing-absolutely nothing-was wasted and that every tear counted and every cry was heard. "Record my lament; list my tears on your scroll-are they not in your record? (Psalm 56:8)
   My sister, Linda, will understand why God took her five-year-old daughter, Kelly, through brain cancer. My friend, Diane, will see how her multiple sclerosis safeguarded her from falling into spiritual indifference. My coworker, Greg, will realize the measure of mercy God poured out to him after his divorce...(skipped the rest of this paragraph and the next one-didn't apply as much)
   We will understand how everything fit. Everything counted. Nothing was wasted. "The Lord works everything out for his own ends-even the wicked for the day of disaster" (Proverbs 16:4). For every jot and tittle of life will give supreme glory to our all-wise and all-powerful God."
