I wrote this in a e-mail to a friend this morning, and encouraged myself so much that I wanted to shout it to everyone. There are things right now that look impossible in my life, but:
Not a day in my life has gone by that God didn't work His will in my life when I let Him. And he has never been late or surprised by circumstance. There is not an event or opportunity or circumstance in my life that came to me without passing through His loving hand. Therefore, I will not be afraid or dismayed or lose faith. My steps are ordered by the Lord even when I think my choices don't really matter. Looking back, I can see how faithful He has been. Times that I thought I made a random choice, He guided my thoughts. Times when I met with trials, He was shaping my soul. Times when I thought my path was going in the opposite direction of His promises, He was directing the road towards His end. I can't even begin to guess all the times He kept me from trouble when I was unaware. I can't even fathom what might be going on behind the scenes of my life to shape my destiny. But I know that I trust Him. I know that He will make everything right. I am persuaded that as long my heart follows after His, He will be faithful and I can rest in the confidence that not a power in the universe can stop His good, good plans for me.
