A radical act of trust

Ann Voskamp notes today at A Holy Experience that

He who is hurried by worry, delays the comfort of God.

In a world of fists and demands and tight grips for control — patiently waiting with open hand is a radical act — a radical art.

Open hands defy the dark — and testify to a radical act of trust.

Grace beyond our imaginings can fall into open hands.

New things will happen to us — unknown, unwanted, unexpected things — and we can name those things grace.

In a world preoccupied with control — the most radical act is openhanded trust.

Wanting things your way — can destroy any way at all.

All sins and brokenness — turn out to be watered by impatience.

We cannot make things grow… ours is only to grow in grace.

Ours is only to let God grow good things in us.
