Waiting and beyond

A beautiful testimony of a son who is learning to walk by faith…

There is a time when I let the silence and shadow pass through me, because it is the wisest thing to do at the moment: to stay still and quiet after the sound of soundlessness, to make the motion of thought pure and still, to reflect better the reality, and to restrain the body from doing unneccesary toil. I am also reminded that nothing should be done exceedingly. One day has its own difficulty, so be sufficient with what He sends today, and give Him praise for all things.

What I need to do is just practice a little without expectation and ambition. Do anything good joyfully and wholeheartedly, and then leave it. Just receive what is my part, and with little part by little part in prayer, without a desire of recognition and prestige. Breath deliberately and thankfully, with hidden smile and tears.

Obedience is such a great power and at the same time humility. There is no substitute for its power. Keep practicing and doing what is good, only piece by piece, just like we eat spoon by spoon. It is a very long and deliberate process and not an over night show. Yet, however slow, its steadiness and meekness are what makes it unshakable. Wait and walk slowly, walk heartfully. There is no need to hurry and to be significant. Just look to Him who is in the front of you, and follow....
