Don’t force your plans on the Lord; discover the plans He already has in place for your life. Life is less about entitlement and management than it is about discovery. Your plans are clumsy and short-sighted, while His plans are elegantly arranged. Life is a dance, and the Lord is already leading. When you attempt to take over, you spend the rest of the song tripping over your own two feet. At least recognize your missteps soon enough to rejoin in the beauty it was meant to be. He’s leading you now; He’s just so good at it that it feels as if you are moving on your own. Pay attention, stop looking at your feet, look into His eyes and enjoy the movement of your life. Learn how to follow His promptings and respond to His cues; it’s remarkably easier that way. The resulting beauty is like no other.
And still your writing has not ceased to be beautiful.
