Our expectations of what we should have acheived in life are often the greatest idols in our lives. I.e. our career goals, financial success, marraiges, children, the way our spouses/family/friends treat us. Nothing ever turns out the way we expect, or when we expect it, and we find it sooooo difficult to let go of our expectations, or at least I did.......! That's when they become the idols in our lives.
They take our focus off God and stop us believing in Him, then we scramble around aimlessly, trying to attain the unattainable, acheive the unacheivable, repair the irreparable, sometimes we even attempt the ridiculous and try to turn back time!! We need to surrender complete control to God, then trust Him to sort every single thing out....
He really will [Phil 4:19], He is able to, He tells us He will, and most importantly, He wants to... He just needs us to trust Him completely and He will give us every good thing. 'For I know the plans I have for you', declares the Lord, 'plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future'. Jer 29:11
Dear friends, if this resonates with you, then you're probably like me, trying to hold on to the "steering wheel" of your life instead of surrendering complete control into God's very capable hands. And if it doesn't, then I thank God you've already found
complete trust in Him. As for the rest of us, we are still works in progress. Just try it and see. What do you have to loose??? Afterall if you could have
sorted it by yourself, it would no longer be an issue... Just trust God with the
small and
big issues in your life and prepare to be amazed. And we don't have to be righteous or deserving for God to sort us out.
He created us, and because
he loves us regardless, he will
always answer us whenever we cry out to Him...

| He'll shower us with love if we ask and then just keep still |

| God IS love |
 |
| And he sends us a rainbow to remind us of his undying love |
 |
| He will answer us when we call on him |
