“Have confidence in the Providence that so far has never failed us. The way is not yet clear. Grope along slowly; be patient, be trustful.”
– St. Theodora Guérin
One of my greatest realizations lately is to never underestimate trust in the Lord. There are quite a few things that have been on my mind – deliberations being one of many. However, I know that so long as I live here on earth, I will be human. And as a human being, I will always be full of thoughts and wonder about many many things. What is important is that I do not dwell on them.
I will never know, 100%, God’s plan for me, but what I do know is that there is a plan, and my perfect Father created that for me. When I looked back in my life, there were many things I had wished had happened at all. But if I continued to dwell on that, I would have stopped myself from taking the next steps forward. The more I grow with God, the greater His perfect plan for me becomes.
Although I don’t know what lies ahead, I know that God has a purpose, a will, and a perfect plan for me. I also know that what I have gone through from the day I was born up until now was meant to lead me through that plan… Whether I know what lies ahead or not, I will not dwell on trying to figure it out. God has planned my life, and I will TRUST that He will continue to provide and continue to build my desires with me, the way He always has. I will trust in God in me.
“For all who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God. For you did not receive the spirit of slavery to fall back into fear, but you have received the spirit of sonship. When we cry, ‘Abba! Father!” it is the Spirit himself bearing witness to our spirit that we are children of God, and if children, then heirs, heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ, provided we suffer with Him in order that we may also be glorified with him.”
– Romans 8: 14-17
Come, Holy Spirit…
