Wonderfully at peace...

I recently read the book I Will Carry You by Angie Smith, which I highly recommend. It is a beautiful journey of seeing Christ in the midst of your grief. In the book she has a quote from the book from The Hiding Place by Corrie Ten Boom. In this excerpt, Corrie describes a scene in which she asks her father a difficult question.

He turned to look at me, as he always did when answering a question, but to my surprise he said nothing. At last he stood up, lifting his traveling case from the rack over our heads, and set it on the floor. 

"Will you carry it off the train, Corrie?" he said. 

I stood up and tugged at it. It was crammed with the watches and spare parts he had purchased that morning. 

"It's too heavy." I said. 

"Yes," he said. "And I would be a pretty poor father who would ask his daughter to carry such a load. It's the same way, Corrie, with knowledge. Some knowledge is too heavy for children. When you are older and stronger you can bear it. For now you must trust me to carry it for you." 

And I was satisfied. More than satisfied - wonderfully at peace. There were answers to this and all my hard questions - for now I was content to leave them in my father's keeping. 

I love this. It's such a great reminder of how freeing it is to trust in the Lord completely. There are lots of unknowns in our journey right now and it has been such an amazing time of leaning on Him alone. To not worry about what the future holds, but to know that I find my joy in the hands of my Savior. I am grateful for this truth. I am grateful for His peace.
