People say God will never give you more than you can handle but He doesn't use hard times in our lives to punish us. He uses the times that occur in our lives to draw us close. He doesn't create hardships but He walks beside us through them. I thank God for not leaving me alone and yet I keep trying to grab control. Why can't I learn to just let go and let God?
Proverbs 3:5-6
Trust in the LORD with all your heart, And do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He will make your paths straight.
I have not made it through even one day living up to this verse. As I lay my head on the pillow each night I can count at least a moment or two where I selfishly tried to have my way. Trust me, I always justify myself as good intentioned. But at the end of the day, I know that it is not up to me to guide others. Let go and let God, I still need so much work on that.
In Him,

I just loved your honesty in this post!!!! So glad I found you today! I saw your post on Kay Daigle's blog and just had to come over and see you, too. I don't think I've ever made it through a whole day with a trusting heart and mind. The encouraging thing is, maybe I'm trusting just a little more than I was a year ago! And that's a BIG step for me.
ReplyDeleteI've read some of your blog today, or should I say, I've read some of your heart???? Thank you for your testimony of God's faithfulness! It meant everything to me!
