Reading 11



Trust in the Lord with all your heart, 
And lean not on your own understanding; 
In all your ways acknowledge Him, 
And He shall direct your paths.

Proverbs 3:5, 6


Is not easy to have faith, since faith means trusting in things that I don't understand. 
Only looking back I have a better awareness of why events happened, and why sometimes outcomes were not what I expected. Is not easy to let go, since letting go means giving up control; and I like to be in control, to plan and lead my life as I think is good. 
But there were times when as much as I pushed forward, or pulled harder and harder, the outcomes were not in my wanted direction.

I learned the hard way -- many times -- looking back, now I see it was better that way.
Even if so painful in that point in time.

Trust in God and have faith.
So easy to say. 
So complicated to be.

Oh, so many times I knew what I need to do, but did not listen to what I was told.
As I get older (wiser?) seems that I am more in tune with divine suggestions. 
I listen more.

Still, so hard to have faith, and not rely on my understanding.
