O, for grace to trust You more

Lately, i haven’t had a lot to say. It could be that i felt like i was losing control of my life with all the work to be done, the sometimes rocky relationships to be at the very least managed, and the ridiculously hard choices to make. Hmm. Let me rephrase this…

Lately, i haven’t had anything REMOTELY edifying to write about.

Now i do. I have quite a lot to talk about. Because i’ve learned a lot. Through those moments where all i wanted to do was crawl into bed, turn off the lights and sleep with no thoughts for 56789 hours to those moments of intense joy in seeing God’s hand move so clearly and His word alive in the world, i’ve learned a whole freaking lot. In about…four weeks.

I’m going to post a few journal-esque things i’ve done in the past three days. All different thoughts and all different experiences. However, they all come back to the same point. I’m learning to trust. I’m learning to see God in the worst and rejoice in Him, trusting that He’ll make it all good. He HAS, He IS, and He WILL. Praise Jesus.

Yes, ’tis sweet to trust in Jesus,
Just from sin and self to cease;
Just from Jesus simply taking
Life and rest, and joy and peace.

Jesus, Jesus, how I trust Him!
How I’ve proved Him o’er and o’er
Jesus, Jesus, precious Jesus!
O for grace to trust Him more!

I’m so glad I learned to trust Thee,
Precious Jesus, Savior, Friend;
And I know that Thou art with me,
Wilt be with me to the end.
