I don't know about you, but it seems that I've always had a problem trusting, and especially the people closest to me--probably due to something that happened during my childhood. And, I realized recently that I also sometimes have problems trusting God. At times I don't understand what's happening or why it's happening, and I forget that God is really the one in control. Nothing escapes His will, and because He is our Father, it's all for our good...no matter how bad it seems. He is Love--infinite Love, infinite Wisdom, infinite Mercy. I know this, but what do I say? "Yes, Lord...Yes, but please, not that!"
Did Mary say, "Yes, but..."? No. She said, "Let it be done to me..." Her human nature didn't stand in her way, like it does mine. I pray for the grace to be able to say that, too, and mean it with all my heart, to surrender completely and unconditionally, saying "Yes," and not even thinking, "but..." We can trust the One who laid down His life for us. I pray for this grace for you, too, dear reader.
God's abundant blessings and graces upon you.
