We need this school in which we learn obedience to God. To listen, to open up, to follow God and to give Him space, to recognize our emptiness and offer it to Him so that He can fill us.
Obedience to God really is the easy yoke (even though it often doesn't seem that way). The reality of "God's will" is the love of our Father, and His gentle hands guiding us toward Him and protecting us from harm.
What do we achieve by escaping from His hands? Where are we going to go?
The Lord is merciful. He doesn't want us to run forever and get nowhere. He wants us to remain on the narrow path that He is crafting for us with His loving hands.
It is a narrow path, because it is the particular love that He has for each one of us, that corresponds to the unique personality that each of us possesses.
Each one of us is a person. Unrepeatable. Unique. Loved.
We are so precious and so profound: we do not know how dear and how deep we are, because we do not really know ourselves.
God knows us. His will is His wisdom and love for each one of us. He knows what is good for us, what will bring us joy.
Let us remain in His hands.
Let us remain in His hands.
