Isn't it amazing how God uses the lessons He is teaching or the truths He is revealing to one person to encourage and instruct others? It seems that God is forever gently (and sometimes not so gently) reminding me to cast my cares and concerns on Him. Oh that I'll actually be able to learn this lesson some day!

Mrs. Ivester, thank you for this post! It was such an encouraging reminder to me. Is that passage from the George MacDonald book, Knowing the Heart of God? I really enjoy George MacDonald's works and that passage seemed familiar... :) I completely agree, Sarah and Katie!

Lewis' MacDonald anthology. I love 'Knowing the Heart of God', too--you've made me want to pull it out again! I’m glad this encouraged you, ladies, as it did me.

I have felt very discouraged recently, and this post was what I needed today. Thank you so very much, Lanier, for that post, especially the George MacDonald quote.
