Simply Trusting

I just wanted to share this thought from a dear friend of mine. It's a poignant reminder of the truth of God's faithfulness. Thank you for this, Priscilla.

"God is so faithful. He does what He does because He knows what He’s doing. I coined this phrase a couple of years ago to obliterate the struggle going on in my heart. I desperately needed to solidify the truth that God always knows what He is doing and why He does what He does. I am learning over and over again that my role is simply to trust Him." (P Malin)

"Simply trusting Thee, Lord Jesus, I behold Thee as Thou art
And Thy love so pure, so changeless, satisfies my heart
Satisfies my deepest longings, meets supplies its ev'ry need
Compasseth me round withblessings
Thine is love indeed!

Ever lift Thy face upon me, as I work and wait for Thee
Resting 'neath Thy smile Lord Jesus
Earth's dark shadows flee.
Sunshine of my Father's glory, Sunshine of my Father's face
Keep me ever trusting, resting, fill me with Thy grace.

Jesus, I am resting, resting
In the joy of what Thou art
I am finding out the greatness
Of Thy loving heart"
(from the song Jesus I am Resting, Resting).
