" Because you are special* to me, and I love you, I gladly give up other peoples in exchange for you; They are trivial by comparison to your weighty significance. " _Isaiah 43:4* (The Voice)

{ Even our best has it's limits... }

“I have seen that everything [human] has its limits and end [no matter how extensive, noble, and excellent]; but Your commandment is exceedingly broad and extends without limits [into eternity].”

_Psalm 119:96 (AMP)

-----

the ending of self is one journey one has to take over and over again... something the flesh has difficultly convicting because of the usual "i" that comes at the front. even our grace and own right doing can run on empty and dry, than what else can you rely and act upon?

there will be a constant struggle and lack sweating the big stuff out on our own. saying we trust Him, yet our hand is still actively moving only reflecting our dependence on the limited self we tend to utilize from. 

it is time to let it all go... all the past glories, hurt, desires, dreams, unforgiveness, pain, success, relationships... think it is time to not only bin them, but put the permanent delete on our system. carrying dead baggage is not a good weight to be travelling around in a new promise land or journey He has called us upon.

whatever the outcome and turn out of our lives, there will always be God surprises... things that happen in the way you should not have, or you would not think it would have? either way, He has already pen those two events down in His calendar, and worked all things together for our good.

something commonly used, but yet so powerful as it is He who is doing the working... and hence we rest because "If God gets the glory, why don't we lay off, and allow Him to do the entire job?" (rephrased j.prince)
