Other than getting well and trying to trust in God, I have no resolutions for the upcoming year. This year in particular has taught me that I’m better off if I don’t anticipate or have expectations. But that’s not meant in a negative way. One quote that struck me today was by Henri Nouwen, “If I trust deeply that today God is truly with me and holds me safe in a divine embrace, guiding every one of my steps I can let go of my anxious need to know how tomorrow will look or what will happen next week or next year. I can be fully where I am and pay attention to the many signs of God’s love within me and around me.” Each and every day I need to be aware of God’s loving presence so I can be a loving person. The other quote that I found particularly meaningful was, “If we allow the love of Christ to change our heart, then we can change the world.” – the late Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI

I Found God today in encouragement to trust in Him.
