Trust in God
Since God knows what is best, in what areas of my life do I need to trust him most?
The Purpose Driven Life, p. 76
As a new parent, I’m always thinking how my daughter, Kaitlyn, is going to grow up. Is she going to go private or public school? Will she grow up to be a kind and strong person? Will she honour us at all times? Will she marry the right man? There are so many questions, they become worrisome.
I know God sees me as His child. He is happy that I’m His creation. He takes pleasure when I listen, talk, and worship Him. He wants me to be who I am. What I have to do is simply love God and He will love me back. This is what I expect from my daughter: we unconditionally love her and we desire her love in return. God knows what’s best for us. This is what I trust God will work on our lives.
I want you to show love, not offer sacrifices. I want you to know me more than I want burnt offerings.
Hosea 6:6 (NLT)
