There have been times when I've read a scripture like,
in everything give thanks, and I didn't know what to do with it because
I didn't feel like I could say yes to it honestly to the Lord
when it didn't really make sense to me and
I didn't feel it. So finally I went to the Lord and said, I'm
resisting you. What do I do? And I felt him say, it's
all right, it's all right. It is possible for me to say,
yes Lord, thank you. In the depths of my being, without my understanding or my
feelings, and he will work that thing
into me. So that when it comes up again and I'm not really sure what to do, I can
stop and instead of asking him to do it again,
say, yes, thank you. I know you're doing that.
I trust you to be doing that. I look forward to us doing this together.
