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.
Oh, yes, amen! Wonderful, Jean!
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 🙂
wow what a God=coincidence, Dolly and a lesson we all need to learn. Love Merton’s wisdom too.
amen
Thanks Clella
An inspiring quote, indeed! Thanks for this enlightenment, Jean!
I love Merton’s wisdom.
