When Love Says Yes

Moments where I wanted things to be different.

When the path in front of me feels hard…

I find myself asking God to change it.

To make it easier.

To take it away.

And then I think about Jesus in the garden…He knew exactly what was ahead of Him.

The pain.

The loneliness.

The weight of all our sins.

He was alone. He was scared.

He said, “If there is another way…”

And then,

“Not my will… but Yours be done.”

He prayed. He cried out to God. And then He accepted His path.

And I realize…

how quickly I try to manipulate the hard things in my life.

I delay. I avoid.

I hope my situation will change.

But He didn’t.  He faced it.

Jesus said “thy will”…

not because it was easy,

but because it was right.
