I trust You

yet my fearful heart

betrays that trust

wanting yet another

sign… to confirm

its really YOU

Oh, will You be angry?

No!

Really?

Really!

But I don’t understand

I love you and I am patient

I want your fledgling faith

to grow into belief.

But I can’t see You

I can’t feel You

What if I am wrong?

Is that so bad?

YES!

Why?

Well.. I need to be right

Why?

I don’t want to disappoint You

You won’t because your heart is right

Yes but…

No buts… I won’t let you go

I’m watching over your journey

But what if I screw up?

Then we will go back and try again

But I want to be right the first time

Sweetheart… remembers perfection is a mask…

unattainable!!  You’ll never learn if you always

get it right the first time

Ok, but….

NO buts!

All I am asking you to do is

TRUST ME…trust Me to lead you

and guide you.

 I have my hand on you so you won’t

stumble far.

This is so hard for one who needs to be right.

Yep!... it’s all about how you want people to

See you- perfect

Ouch, that hurts!!

Yes but it is the truth

Ok then….I need to surrender my faulty thinking, right?

Yep :)

Surrender

I can almost see it.  The word spreads quickly through the city.  Her world is being shaken by an unforeseen storm.  What will she do?

Quietly, as though not to disturb the holy moment, everyone hurries to their feet and peers over the cloudy edge… watching…holding their breath… waiting to see what she will do.

Slowly, as with one voice, under their breath, they start to implore, “Come on, you can do it.  Come on, you CAN do it” repeatedly.  As the storm lashes on, the chant becomes louder until it becomes very audible… wanting her to hold on… to trust the Son who has been holding her in His hands.

She doesn’t see it; she doesn’t feel it; she doesn’t hear it.  She must just trust …. as heaven stands…… waiting….
