“Never be afraid to trust an unknown future to a known God.”
― Corrie ten Boom
“Remember He is the artist and you are only the picture. You can’t see it. So quietly submit to be painted—i.e., keep fulfilling all the obvious duties of your station (you really know quite well enough what they are!), asking forgiveness for each failure and then leaving it alone.You are in the right way. Walk—don’t keep on looking at it.”
― C.S. Lewis
(evening light casts a calm over the blooms / Julie Cook / 2016)
A hand extends…
“take it”
The voices implore.
Hesitation shadows the moment…
Assurances ring through the trepidation…
An internal battle ensues…
Yes or no
stay or go
Trust or not
Slowly or quickly, it matters not
you chose to extend your hand…
The two hardest words known to man, no matter the language…
Trust me…
Have I not commanded you?
Be strong and courageous.
Do not be afraid;
do not be discouraged,
for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go.”
Joshua 1:9
