Trust in the Lord with All your Heart!
...and lean not on your own understanding.In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will smooth your paths.
- Proverbs 3:5-7
HOLD tight to His hand with an ungiving grip, mercilessly tight; LOCK your grip, NEVER let it go!
GAZE deep into His love, a love that will NEVER let you have less than the best. And He knows best!
REST sweetly in His arms, knowing that NOTHING will overtake you against His choice when He looks after your way. ALL His power protects you from evil's dominion.
STEP forward at God's command, with faith that He - with all these promises - has not and will not EVER leave you. He loves you - He CANNOT leave you!
Has He not earned infinitely more than you've ever wanted in a lover, a protector, a guide?
Has He not proved His love more purely and more completely than you've ever asked for or deserved?
"Is your life hard? Is it turning against you? Is there a weight on your shoulders?
My beloved, please, oh please, trust me!
It hurts me to see you so hesitant to travel my path. I said it's the best for you - don't you trust me?
I made it best for you because I love you. All the other paths can't nearly match this one - it's so superior. Just you go and see!
"What? The thorns are too many? The waves are too big? The path is too steep?
Don't you remember - I put your thorns on my own head, I walk you over the water, and I carry you up the hills. Have you forgotten?
"I know that what you see in this path is so different from what you've always known as good, what you've hoped for in life.
But I soar above, I see the end - I chose the end. It's better than you can ever imagine, because I love you more than you can ever understand!
If you love me, take this path and see how much I love you! Trust me."
