Leave the Choice with Him

Enough that God my father knows,

nothing this faith can dim,

He gives the very best to those

who leave the choice with him.

A few years ago, I copied this from a book onto a card for my mother. She has had it sitting on the windowsill above the sink ever since, and as I get a drink or wash the dishes, it is a reminder and encouragment to me to leave the choice with Him. I am really having a hard time doing that lately. I just want to do andmake the choices myself, maybe we'll get somewhere, I'm tired of waiting!

While I wait, I am trying to rest in His promises, and I am trying to learn as I wait. As I have been waiting, I have learned more of God and have grown closer to Him. My relationship with the Lord has grown stronger, and its because of the trials of lately, and the waiting I am having to do now. Through every trial He strengthens His children.

I am learning to trust, wait, and leave the choice with Him. Its not easy, but I'm taking my time, and the Lord is patient with all of His children, and I am so thankful for that.
