Trust the Father's Heart

Thanks to Jalisa Wenger in Pennsylvania for sending this!

When you turn a corner in your life

and questions rage inside,

and no one gives you answers,

trust the Father’s heart.

Such simple trust is not a thing

to take lightly.

Sometimes, it sounds too easy.

Sometimes, it sounds too hard,

just to trust the Father’s heart.

But the One who gives the sparrow a nest,

and knows when each one falls,

the same One who clothes a lily

when it pushes up through the sod,

this same God –

we can trust our Father’s heart.

He is faithful toward all His creation

and has a plan unlike our own.

The future may seem uncertain

and the path unclear at times,

but He alone

knows how to bring beauty from ashes,

if we can but trust the Father’s heart.

-Rebecca Barlow Jordon

Though he slay me, yet will I trust in him:

but I will maintain mine own ways before him.

Job 13:15

Fear not, O land; be glad and rejoice:

for the LORD will do great things. Joel 2:21
