Last week, Darla Greer e-mailed me a journal entry she had recently written. With her permission, I thought it would aid your journey as it did mine. So enjoy…
“Life is full of twists & turns….definitely not a straight path. We are faced with choices each day, some which require ‘yielding’ before moving forward. Of course, we can feel it’s our right to stop or go ahead and not yield. That decision may cause us to get off course or worse to derail us completely.
What does yielding mean? First, be alert and cautious…look around before we move. Second, to proceed (with caution), go forward, don’t stop!
God is constantly giving us opportunities to yield to Him and others in Christian authority. By yielding to Him we aren’t growing complacent, stagnant or staying the same….we are flowing in the journey.
What does yielding mean to you? It may mean giving up old ideas or plans and going in a new direction. It may be moving over to a new ‘lane’ to allow others to go ahead of you…releasing them as new leaders.
Without a doubt yielding to God’s will is the only way to find peace and success in this life that Christ saved us to live. Not always easy, but essential.
Go in peace and watch as you go for God wants to bless you.”
Thank you Darla for sharing this with us all!
Loving and Leading,
