"My Lord God, I have no idea where I am going. I do not see the road ahead of me. I cannot know for certain where it will end. Nor do I really know myself; and the fact that I think that I am following your will does not mean that I am actually doing so. But I believe that the desire to please you does in fact please you. And I hope I have that desire in all that I am doing. I hope that I will ne...ver do anything apart from that desire. And I know that if I do this you will lead me by the right road, though I may know nothing about it. Therefore will I trust you always though I may seem to be lost and in the shadow of death. I will not fear, for you are ever with me, and you will never leave me to face my perils alone." -Thomas Merton
Someone posted this quote on facebook and I immediately copied and re-posted it on my page.
What an awesome God I have – that knows me better than I ever will, that called me to be his own, that leads me to where he wants me to be – even if I go astray, he will always lead me back. A God that will never leave me or forsake me, that actually enjoys my praises and being in a personal relationship with me. A God that meets me in my prayers, in my quiet time, in my joy, in my sorrow, every day, every moment, always.
Nothing more is needed to be said . . .
