Yielding to God – Quote of the Week – Thomas Merton

By

healthyspirituality.org

I must learn to let go of the familiar and the usual and

consent to what is new and unknown to me.

I must learn to ‘leave myself’

in order to find myself by yielding to the love of God.

If I were looking for God, every event and every moment would sow, in my will,

grains of God’s life

that would spring up one day in a tremendous harvest.

Thomas Merton

    Jean,
    Thanks for affirming what God was saying to me today…I read Jesus Calling and was struck by the word “Yield” in Job 22:21 and then I read the title of your post, “Yielding to God”…praying for grace to yield to His plan today 🙂
