God Will

“Faith isn’t just knowing God can, it is trusting that God will”I heard that quote twice this week which always makes me think I am suppose to pay attention.  I have a faith that “God will” so many things.  God will take care of me and those I love.God will provide…whatever we need.God will listen and accept when we are not our best.God will heal.God will strengthen.God will help us make sense of what is senseless.God will bring us into a real and trusting relationship with God if we give God time.  Our time.God will.God will love you no matter what.God will want you to have your hearts desires.God will never leave you alone.God will get us through.This past year has been a bit of a nuisance.  I didn’t always have patience to wait on God. I got frustrated and angry more than once.  I pouted, stomped my feet and ignored what, in my heart I knew; that  “God will.”  But every time, something, someone, somehow God showed God’s self to me in the form of concern, compassion, humor, kinship and/or honesty.  Sometimes, when we are being refined, it is not the best experience. But it is the BEST experience.  If we allow it to simply happen.  When I threw it all up in the air and out of my hands I began to laugh again I knew I had not lost my faith.   Letting it all go, every day, is the only way for me to show that I believe “God will.”  But I cannot do it without prayer. I begin my day with it, I end my day with it, and the times in between…it makes all the difference.”Draw near to God and God will draw near to you”
