Am I an Acorn?

I have been reading a book called Passion and Purity  by Elisabeth Elliot, and I have been challenged in so many ways.  I really liked a few of the passages I found, and I wish I had been taking more notes so I could share them without your having to read the book. Anyways, here is one portion that I thought was great.

We were being asked to trust, to leave the planning to God. God's ultimate plan was as far beyond our imaginings as the oak tree is from the acorn's imagination. The acorn does what it was made to do, without pestering its Maker with questions about when and why. We who have been given an intelligence and a will and a whole range of wants the can be set against the divine Pattern for Good are asked to believe Him.  We are given the chance to trust Him when He says to us, "...if any man will let himself be lost for my sake, he will find his true self." 

When will we find it? we ask. The answer is, Trust ME. 

How will we find it?The answer again is, Trust ME. 

Why must I let myself be lost? we persist. The answer is, Look at the acorn and trust me.

It just made me think, and I decided I wanted to share.

Am I living my life trusting Him? I must ask myself this question daily.

Trust Him.
