So when you don’t understand, When you don’t see his plan, When you can’t trace his hand, Trust His Heart.
Taken from Trust His Heart by Babbie Mason
I don’t know if it is mid-life crisis and the greater more intense awareness that this age carries, but, as I progress daily trying to become a better version than the day before I am reminded constantly that there is more to life even when I cannot see it. Even when it digresses from how I know and would like my life to be. Perhaps it has nothing to do with age but more to do with the times we are living in, but this past Christmas as I got a chance to reflect and think about things I have decided to trust his heart, a much needed move if I am going to have joy in my life.
I am reminded of that Sunday evening my husband took me for a ride on his toy, which unfortunately is a bike. He has been asking me for the longest while and because of my fear I refused each and every time. When I decided to go, the fear left me and I became excited to have the experience and to know the end result.
As I prepared myself physically and mentally and we were on our way the fear returned. Without going into details my husband took me beyond my comfort zone, beyond any point where I could say “let me off this machine, I am walking home”. 
It was at that point I realized I no longer had control; I had to make up my mind there and then that I would release the fear and trust him because I had no other choice. I could hold on to the fear and not have the wonderful experience of going against the wind; of feeling the ‘ rush’ and experiencing something new. So I did let go and I trusted him that he knew what he was doing, I felt at peace and I did have an exhilarating experience.
Life is similar to that bike ride for some of us… The only constant in some of our experiences is that we really have no control. If we have no control, what should we do? We should let go and enjoy the ride…. We should release the fear and assume boldness and courage and move beyond the comfort zone, trusting God’s heart and nothing else; trusting that he knows all things. Focusing on Him and having a tunnel vision that excludes all distraction or that which would cause us fear. This Christmas I decided I am not going into 2016 with the fears of 2015.
Many times because I don’t understand and because I do not know God’s ultimate plan as the song says, because I cannot trace his hand and because I will never know his ways I do not trust, but not anymore. Like that bike ride, I am on a new ride (of life) that takes me far away from my comfort zone and I have decided to release the fear and to trust his heart. I trust His heart because He knows best, NO MORE FEAR, INDECISION AND UNCERTAINTY… I trust his heart and I encourage you to do the same.
I declare 2016 an epic year in your life because you have decided to trust God’s heart.
No more “I would like to – resolutions” but instead we make I am going to – decisions!
