Like many people, I have wanted the world to listen to me. I have wanted to prove I was smarter than everyone else. I have wanted to change things - but especially in a way where I would get the credit. I am still struggling to believe that Your gift is prior to my giving, that Your Word is beyond my understanding, that Your love is the measure of my worth. Keep on telling me to give up so that I can learn to rest in You. Convince me, Lord, that there is safety in the space between Your wings....
