Just me trying to be honest with God.

“Life is a balance between what we can control and what we cannot. I am learning to live between effort and surrender.” Danielle Orner

It is understandable that God would leave certain matters under our control, and rightfully expect us to act on them. Effort on our part is both needed, and expected, if certain graces are to be ours. Even so, grace is grace, and faith is the first responsibility and the very first grace God gives to us. Attend to what is under your control, and trust to God’s gracious hands those things which are not.

“Make every effort to add to your faith goodness; and to goodness, knowledge; and to knowledge, self-control and to self-control, perseverance; and to perseverance, godliness…” 2Pet.1.5  Conversations Within” ts 10/9/2019
