Trust in Me to Prepare You

Trust in Me to Prepare You

Consider a little child that is about to go to a foreign country, for vacation - to a place he has never been. It is for his mother to pack what he will need. She knows what the weather is like, if he will need shorts and T-shirts or sweaters and pants. She knows the conditions and packs accordingly.

She packs those things that will bring him comfort and make him feel at ease. In the same way she leaves behind the unnecessary items that she knows will just take up space. The clunky toys that will just get in the way, she leaves behind. The bulky coat that is not needed in a tropical climate is put away as well.

He does not know what to pack or leave behind, but leaves it for his mother. In the same way, the place ahead that I am taking you to, you do not understand what you will and will not need. You may think that clunky toy must be taken with you, but what you do not consider is the room it takes and what else will have to be left behind because of it – it cannot be afforded.

So let me sort through what you have. Allow me to pack for your future my child. Just as that child trusted in his mother, so you must trust also in Me. If I say that you will not need this baggage, if I say that you cannot bring along that favorite security blanket, or your favorite toy, then trust in Me and believe that you will not need it.

Let go and trust in Me, my child. For the future ahead is a foreign land to you, exotic and beautiful. You do not know in yourself, what you will need to thrive there. Let go then and allow me to take control. Amen.
