“Accept what is. Let go of what was. Have faith in what will be.” Unknown

Gentle hearts do not inwardly fight against what God is allowing to come their way; they learn from it. Hard times are like the goads that farmers of old used to prick the sides of an ox to guide them while plowing a field. In the same way, God uses such times to instruct us in spiritual maturity. Don’t fight what is. Change what is in your power to change if it needs changing, and trust God with the rest. By all means learn the value of God’s discipline.

“It is hard for you to kick against the goads.” Jesus to Paul on His Damascus Road deliverance. “Conversations Within” ts 4/26/2019
