"Let my future be as God wants it. I leave it in the hands of Him who cannot operate but for the good of all. And this is enough to make me happy." Blessed Giovanni Battista Mazzucconi

How often we seek to control our future. We make decisions that are not consistent with the will of God for us. For the most part the result is unhappiness. But we try the same thing again and again, hoping that things will change. It is hard for us to entrust our lives into the hands of God. Will he come through for me? It really depends whether I truly believe he loves me more than I can love myself. If I do, then he knows what is best for me, even if it means purification and pruning. He wills my eternal salvation and glory with him. And in his infinite wisdom he knows what is best for me. Surrendering to him is freedom to become whom I am meant to be.
