Isaac of Ninevah

I enjoyed reading this writing on TRUST very, very much. As it strated off with a small lamp whose light goes out, I could immediately relate this to a person who consumes all the attention of another, which would in turn snuff the light of the giving person. When an idividual is constantly giving to others it is very important to replenish their own light in order to give again. This is a common problem with motherhood. Mothers constantly give to their husband, their children, maybe a career and they can feel the energy being consumed by all different angles causing a BURN-OUT! This behaviour and neglect of re-fueling is very unhealthy and will eventually affect those loved ones and friends. Similar to the drug addict that hurts their family and friends by consuming the drug of choice.
Secondly, the writer speaks of a stream which dries up when it doesn't rain; this is another example of every individual needs to replinish their own rain system either by a slow drip satisfaction of living water or by a massive gushing of the beautiful sound and feeling of a waterfall falling over one's body to keep the person flowing into others. The more good we take in the more we are able to give out.
This brings me to my third point; "Trusting God with our whole heart." This is the absolute most difficult thing to achieve because it requires letting GO.......and waiting and trusting and waiting and trusting. This writer says we are'nt to think of ourselves when we pray, but we do. It's human of us to pray for ourselves what we want to have and don't want to have.
Summed up with the H-word......Humility, knowing a humble person is a true delight and should be observed with great attention. I do agree with this author in great detail.
