Fears relieved or Faith emboldened


My sister and her husband made it home safely from Bermuda. The big scary hurricane heading our way averted the shoreline and made its way out to sea. I thank God for his mercies that are new every morning. I'm now planning another trip myself. I felt it this morning as I struggled to work...that need to get away and relax for a time. I will have a lot to think about and mull over during this time away. I know that I need to let go of my fears for the future. I need to believe that God is in control. Yet, this is hard to do. I let myself get carried away by my worries. I have to stop that. I have to let God be God. If I don't, then it's like giving up or even worse...rejecting God.

I long for the day that I will meet God. I hope that he will say to me...
"Come into your own, thou good and faithful servant."
I know I don't deserve anything from God. None of us do. I marvel though at his grace towards us. His sacrifice for me leaves me breathless. I know that my faith is weak, yet I also know that he uses the weak.
