Faith, Trust, Surrender


"Between the longings and the demand for their fulfillment is a place as real as any in the tangible world. But it is uncharted and uniquely tailored to your personal story" (Strong women, soft hearts)

As far back as I can remember I was taught that trusting God was all wrapped up in faith "Trust and Obey" is what I have known from childhood. But, really trusting, that place of resting is not as easy to do as singing a childhood song.

The need to trust  is never more evident than when you know the deep longings of your heart, you feel the pull of dreams unfulfilled and you are powerless to dictate or control the the timing or the realization of them.  It lies in first choosing and then accepting the particulars of when, how, where and IF God chooses to intervene.

It is a place called Surrender.  It is a good place, hard to get to sometimes but once there you understand that there is no better place to be.

My friend, do you have dreams or longings that you need to trust God with?  I am praying for you this morning.
