Leave outcomes up to me. Follow me wherever I lead, without worrying about how it will all turn out. Think of your life as an adventure, with Me as your Guide and Companion. Live in the now, concentrating on staying in step with Me. When our paths lead to a cliff, be willing to climb it with My help. When we come to a resting place, take time to be refreshed in My presence. Enjoy the rhythm of life lived close to Me.
You already know the ultimate destination of your journey: your entrance into heaven. So keep your focus on the path just before you, leaving outcomes up to Me.

Thank you! We are in the midst of our first foster placement and I so needed this.
Cindy, SO thrilled you are in the midst of this. Prayers will increase for you all as a family and for this special child to share your home and heart. What a blessing!! It means all the more somehow at Christmas, the time of giving. So thankful for hearts like yours.
Laura thank you so much for sharing this. Sometimes it’s hard to not worry about what could or might happen in life but when we learn to trust the Lord unconditionally we will have joy on the journey no matter where He leads us! Love you beautiful lady!! 🙂
Oh precious words from you, Teresa! They speak to me like this devotional. I am learning to trust even when the journey is not what I expected. Experience teaches us that and I sense you’ve learned it well. Love and prayers with you, my friend!!
LOVE this. So thankful for the perspective He wants us to have and so patiently and lovingly teaches us: All of life is a journey with Him, one step at a time, ALL good as we proceed hand-in hand with Him. (Hard to climb a cliff with only 1 free hand, eh?)
Thanks for sharing this, Laura. I read Jesus Calling daily. So nice to share it.
Love your cliff-climbing one-handed thought, dear Mary Kay! So, so true! And when we try to go it alone it feels just like that, too!
I sure appreciate knowing you read JC every day like me. I was just in Costco looking through the book section and see they have yet another format/edition of it out there now. I have the small orange one and then caved and bought the pink leather one awhile back at WalMart. Can’t have too many of them, I guess!
Thanks for being here. You’re always such a bright spot :).
