TRUST

      All of my life, I have tried to save the people I love from the consequences of their own behavior, and to make their way easier. I have made a habit of giving more than my share. And I have thought this was loving of me, and kind, but I have been mistaken. What's loving is to let life play out for everyone and for me to stop running interference.
     I have tried to manage and protect what was not mine to manage and protect, and my attempts at control have been guised as love, but rooted in fear. I am now ready to surrender the fear for real love, and let the chips fall where they may.

I am here for the people I love but I do not need to save them. I trust God to work in their lives without my having to run interference.
