A heart willing to accept His Will -- #1241

 #1241   Tues. Dec. 1/20        9:15am     home

Do not despair.  But Hope in the Lord – at all times. 

Listen to how you speak.  Are these words of Hope or are they words of discouragement, discontent?

Please check yourself.

Are you grumbling more than thanking Me?

Are you upset about this and that instead of praising My Presence in your life?

Are you struggling to try to make sense of things, rather than acknowledging that My Hand is on ALL?

What makes you believe that what you see as the right thing to be happening right now, is the right thing according to God’s Will?

We all think that we know God’s Will, because He would never let this or that bad thing happen.

Rather, we are to quickly jump back and acknowledge to our dear Lord that we want a heart that will accept His Will.

Do you see?   We want to make things rosy and right according to us without first and foremost telling the Lord that we want to abide in Him and that means accepting His Will on ALL things.

We let discouragement slink in because we thought for sure that God would not have Willed this to happen.

Either we believe in a God who has us ALL in His Loving Grasp, or we believe in a God who should adjust all things according to my will for the World.

It is simple really.  Do I honestly trust that God’s Hand is on ALL things, happenings, happiness, sadness?

We have to find the God of Love and stick very close to Him.

He Loves me.  So, knowing that I can accept His Will.

Did you ever think of it like that before?

If I say I know God Loves me completely and unconditionally, then I will not debate His Will for the World --- no matter how crazy, how sad, how happy, how strong it appears.
