How do we learn to TRUST the LORD ?

The most difficult thing to reconcile while walking the "Narrow Way" is learning
how to leave your life Totally in GOD's HANDS.  I found it to be the most difficult
undertaking of my life.  Being an aggressive type A ( AAA) person learning to be
PATIENT was (and still is) the hardest of all the changes brought about on this
New Journey.  It's like being hand-cuffed to a utility pole on 1st and Main St., and
Staying there while life swirls all around you and you can do NOTHING. People
walk by, some laugh, most give you a wide birth going out of their to walk around
you. Friends and relatives ask you "what are you doing here like this?" "Are you nuts?"  "You can't live your life like this!"  You become the topic of gossip and
ridicule at cocktail parties.  You remember those cocktail parties because you were
a regular attendee and a participant in the gossip yourself in what now seems a
Lifetime Ago. And with the most ironic twist to the situation (which only GOD can
devise) you have the key to your hand-cuffs in your pocket. That's Right !  You are
Staying there because HE WANTS YOU THERE !  HE is taking you through a
Process that, hopefully, results in you becoming a person HE CAN USE to HIS
PURPOSE.  You've agreed to it so there you stay...Trusting HIM in ALL THINGS is
REALLY what we are ALL HERE FOR.  It's HIS WAY of giving us the opportunity to
Build our FAITH in HIM to a point that GLORIFIES HIM.  (and demonstrating why HE
would SACRIFICE HIS SON on our lowly behalf)  It is our FAITH and our FAITH
ALONE that gets HIS ATTENTION enough to give us the chance to Grow that FAITH
in a MANNER CHOSEN by HIM on an individual basis that is deeply personal.
Will you submit to HIS PLAN for you no matter WHAT?  Do you LOVE HIM enough
to go through process of becoming what HE HAS PLANNED for YOU ?  Do you
WANT to become an INSTRUMENT of HIS ?  Are you willing to "Learn HIS Lessons" ?    HIS WAY ?   SEEK HIS VOICE !
