Trusting

Life is not striving.
It is resting in the will of God,
and trusting Him with all you have to offer.
Life is not painless.
But suffering produces faith like gold
when it is placed
in our dear Lord's hands.
Life is just being.
It is rejoicing in God's grand design,
it is delighting oneself in His presence
every step of the way.
Anxiety, fear and control-
all stem from the simple act
of mistrust.
Give them away to the wind
and recommit your trust to Him
Who is worthy.
He has promised to not forsake us,
Only we can choose not to abide in His love.
It is usually us who do stray,
putting our faith in the flesh
and asking ourselves-
Where is God?
My heart is a blossoming flower,
pure, set apart and wholly
His.
May He do with it
whatever
His loving hand wills.
