A quiet heart is content with what God gives. It is enough. All is grace.

But the things that we feel most deeply we ought to learn to be silent about, at least until we have talked them over thoroughly with God.

If we hold tightly to anything given to us unwilling to allow it to be used as the Giver means it to be used we stunt the growth of the soul. What God gives us is not necessarily "ours" but only ours to offer back to him, ours to relinguish, ours to lose, ours to let go of, if we want to be our true selves. Many deaths must go into reaching our maturity in Christ, many letting goes.

We have ample evidence that the Lord is able to guide. The promises cover every imaginable situation. All we need to do is to take the hand he stretches out.

God will not protect you from anything that will make you more like Jesus.

Praise and glory to God for whom nothing is too hard
