"The Language Of Letting Go....."
Sometimes,
The way is not clear.
Our minds get clouded, confused.
We aren't certain what our next step should be,
what
it will look like,
what direction we are headed.
That is the time to stop,
ask for guidance, and rest.
That
is the time to let go of fear.
Wait. Feel the confusion and chaos, then let it go.
The path will show itself.
The
next step shall be revealed.
We don't have to know "now."
We will know in time.
Trust that.
Let go and trust.
====
Today,
I will wait if the
way is not clear.
I will trust that out of the chaos will come clarity.
A Cross To Bear
Being misunderstood can feel like
a cross to bear. When wounded, people have found art, poetry, and music as avenues of statement. Even when our heart gets
ripped, as others judge things not understood, God understands. There's comfort in knowing God is never blinded to our need,
which offers wondrous things to share.
Sometimes, as we seek comfort
in others, God allows them to fail because He wants to be that special person in our lives. Knowing such doesn't immediately
eliminate struggles of emotional abandonment. We're glad God loves us. We just want another to care besides Him.
Once realized that none loves
like God, He becomes appreciated in newfound ways. Then, we're ready to share with others ... "Do you know how special that
is? Of all the people in the world, God choose you to reach down and love." He says, "You are so special to me. Would you
let me be your friend?"
When people's response to us screams,
"No, thanks. I don't want to be friends," it hurts. Seldom do we consider how God feels when we refuse Him.
We're created in God's image.
Whatever we long for, He does too. He desires not yours, but you ... Someone to walk and talk with, listening to His inner
most thoughts as well as hearing yours.
Once realizing God's
heart is like ours, we begin to avoid noticing outward appearances ~ to see needs of other's hearts. Only then, can we start
to love like Him.
