The faithfulness of Jesus Christ is utterly amazing. There is an old hymn I haven’t heard since I was a boy growing up in the church. It is titled:
“Let Him Have His Way with Thee”. As I was journaling yesterday about what’s written in yesterday’s blog entry, this hymn came to my mind. It’s lyrics in part are:

Would you live for Jesus and be always pure and good? Would you walk with HIm within the narrow road? Would you have Him bear your burden, carry all your load? Let Him have His way with thee. Refrain: His power can make you what you ought to be; His blood can cleanse your heart and make you free; His love can fill your soul, and you will see ’twas best for Him to have His way with thee.

There are moments when I want to sit down and say to Jesus, “Can this be enough? At this age it is hard to keep making changes in my life and belief system.” Well, that doesn’t last long! Jesus has a way of tenderly showing me that the next changes will be SO BENEFICIAL.

I was learning about some new techniques to use in counseling yesterday afternoon from one of our retired counselors. Without any foreknowledge, the techniques were just what I wanted for a couple of the ones I see, but unexpectedly, they were just what I needed for some stumbling blocks I still struggle with.

God is never done with His Work for us until we enter into His Kingdom upon death. Will I let Him have His way with me? YES!
