Trust

When life is overwhelming, it’s all too easy to get caught up in the mess. It’s easy to see the obstacles and think only of this world’s reality rather than the all-powerful, omnipresent Father who is always willing to be there and help us overcome the insurmountable. One of the most poignant pieces of the story Ruth tells in this post is the innocence and purity of this little girl’s trust. A lot of times we don’t actually grab hold of our Father’s hand because we’re holding on to bitterness and anger instead. Maybe we don’t acknowledge it, but there are things that have happened in our lives that we hold against God. As a result, we stand there “stuck”, looking back and forth between the waves and God in indecision. Draw closer to God and remove that distance today; take a step forward and God will meet you where you are and together you’ll conquer every obstacle.
