I have held on to things because I was so scared of what is around the corner.  I have gripped tightly to my present situation because it is sure, too timid to trust that the path will lead me to an unsure better.  I know it is there.  I know there are great things that are unseen.  They wait just around the corner, close enough to sense, close enough to tickle my senses with their amazing goodness. I try not to get caught up in it while looking toward it with faith, but I am doing neither well.   I am not enjoying the day and I am not moving toward my future.  I am not pining for days of past either, but stagnant in the present.  Here, this now is so much better than any past I have lived. And I know that there is an amazing future laid out by a loving Father in Heaven.  He is waiting for me to loosen my grip, take his hand and walk around that corner.  I have no doubt that he is capable of providing that future.  His hands have created unnumbered worlds.  His hands have led and guided through my darkest hours.  When I could not trust my own hands, he softly took them in his own guiding to a peaceful, safe place.  I know the great capabilities and concern my God has for me.  I am only fearful because I am not sure that I am worthy of that future.  So I am letting my fear keep me from what I want so much.  Instead of trusting His judgement of my self-worth I am letting doubts and worthlessness consume me.
