Clock Tower

We should never let the fear of making the right choices keep us from not making any at all. Danger lies not in the decisions that we make but more often in those that we put aside. When we are invested in actually letting go of what our own egos deem is absolutely necessary to safety and prosperity, then God is able to work miracles and will guide us each and every time. Every breath, every day, then becomes joyful and fearless, releasing all processes, constraints and fear.
 

 All too often we are anxiously eager to feel the safety of individual futures wrapped up in a bow; and yet, how safe are they if we don't have all the pieces to the puzzle and rush them to a forced conclusion - one that may only delay us from peace? Yes, in the now is where absolute security lies, no matter what it looks like, and God holds each of us tenderly in the palm of his hand. 

"And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose." Romans 8:28

I love this scripture, not just for the first phrase but for the importance of what the last imparts. Truly being "called to his purpose" means that we are accepting of his ability to know our needs more than our own and will let go the absolutes when asking to be blessed in times of trial or need.

As my mother says, "Just make the next right decision." It is so simple and yet so wise. To live it brings more shelter, peace, faith and sanctuary than anything else: gifts to listen, learn and shift with the next truths that mark our way. Make the decision now that may be waiting on the side-lines - Do it! If we're earnestly intent on all that will "work together for our good", then trust that straighter paths along a clockwork in sync with our Heavenly Father's will is the timing that truly Gives.
