God...will give them, not the expectations of their fears, or the expectations of
their fancies, but the expectations of their faith; the end he has promised,
which will be the best for them.*
Matthew Henry
~~~
It is good to remember
that although life circumstances may trample our hopes
and threaten our dreams,
nothing
can interfere with God’s love-directed plans for us.
Just as a seed must fall into the
ground and die
before it can sprout forth with new life,
we must release our
ways for God’s.
Falling back into God’s arms
(rather than plunging forward in our own strength)
is the most expedient way to the new life He has promised.
We can be certain of this:
when we exchange our goals for His
we will be blessed
beyond anything we could have dreamed for ourselves.
