As 2016 comes to a close, I can´t help but to look back,
particularly at the word I picked to be the guiding word for this year that is
now ending: TRUST. As I reflect on how much I allowed TRUST to
guide my path in 2016 I remember the events that called for a total adherence
to the principle behind the word: the firm belief in the reliability, truth,
ability, or/and strength of God…and I realize that, for the most part, the Holy
Spirit faithfully kept me on the path of trust.
Of course, there were moments of sudden panic…but they did not determine
my steps. Empowered by the strength of
He Who Lives in Me, I was able to refocus and retake the road, guided by the
light of Trust.
Today, as I think of 2017, I believe I have found my
word: Surrender.
Trusting God is, in my opinion, a prerequisite for
surrendering to Him. After all, it is
hard to surrender to anything or anyone we don´t trust. Therefore, as our trust in God´s ability,
reliability, truthfulness, strength, etc., etc., etc., increases, so does our
ability to surrender to Him. He Who Has
Been Faithful before, will be Faithful again, and again, and again…thus we
trust and surrender to His will…even when we don´t understand it...which in my
case, it is more often than not.
