Peaceful Trust

I was in church the other day, and I had a realization. 

Personal to my relationship, it occurred to me that when I was stressing over trying to find and make a relationship happen that was right, I had years of mismatch and failure.  Then, it happened when I wasn't expecting it.  So, the message was that that is also true on the other side of finding a relationship.  Yes, you have to do your part, but ultimately the God (or universe or chemistry.. whichever works for you) that makes it happen is the best solution to maintain it.  If you have stress along the way, stop trying to force it and rest. It's counter intuitive.  You feel it's necessary to grab the wheel and steer.  But, doing so will only get in the way and mute the magic.  Trust in your love.  Trust in yourself.  Trust that your true nature will ultimately reward you, if you stay true to it.

I think this is also important to recall in this time of political and economic uncertainty, when jobs can come and go and rights disappear.  Yes. We should do our best to give our best and believe in the future.  However, if or as challenges come, you WILL exit the other side, and you will overcome, just as you have in the past, to prosper.  Obstacles are meant to overcome for glory.

So, I hope this encourages you.  No matter the news or the threats, the only one that can take away your hope is you.  Never give that up.  As Thomas Edison said, "Have faith! Go Forward."
