I watched love grow between my husband and I, stronger than before.
My best friend says this to me, leaning across the table to grab my hand.
I can tell the words that spill from her lips are genuine.

But hearing her trust, with all of her mind and soul, in Godshe has finally found peace.
I squeeze her hand.
I know what she means when she says she surrenders.

Because its an experience Ive had to relearn as Ive struggled myself, with my own life and faith.
When we trust in God, she says, He moves.And her words warm my heart with their truth.
I found my own worth, and that I didnt have anything to prove.

It was only when I surrendered that I saw what He could do.
This time, without fear.
When wetrust in God, we watch Him movein us, through us.
He gives us a calm that weve never experienced.
He shows us hope we never had.
We see that things are not going to crash and burn.
We see that wecanandwillbe alright.
We see that what is broken is not destroyed permanently.
We see that light is all around us, and there is nothing to be afraid of.
My best friend is crying now, but tears of joy.
She knows, now, what she has forgottenthat God is always near.
She has become my strength, my light.
She has reminded me of who I am and most importantly, who my Father is.
