In God We Trust. I am just beginning to understand our motto, In God We Trust. In trying to understand the challenges of life, the frustration, I am brought back to the concept of Trust. Bonnie recently talked with a dear friend who was serving a mission with her husband. They replied how urgent some of those places across the world need senior missionaries to help the new converts direct the church in their area. We are ready, packed and wondering where to go. ;)
My heart started to ache again. Oh how I/we desire to be of service in the Lords Kingdom out in some bush country of the world. But do I trust? How can that desire get in the way of my trust in my Father in Heaven. He knows what is best for us right now. Why should I complain, ache, and feel frustration because I am not able to go right now?
There is nothing too hard for the Lord. (With tongue in cheek, I am sure He could remove my extra 20 pounds off my fat body!) The obstacles we have right now in our way of serving could be removed in a myriad of ways, if it was right for us to serve right now. I know that is true. So, there must be another reason why we are not permitted to serve to our hearts desire. Do I trust my Father?
In my Loving Father I trust. Therefore, I must realize there are divine reasons why He won't make the miracles to let us go now. I just must try to figure out what lessons I need to learn before He blesses us with a mission call. No matter the circumstances, if we trust in our loving Father, then we should learn the lessons He is teaching, then expect our prayers to be answered, even in miraculous ways. In whom do we trust?
