Now
Let
And
Yet
How can the power of my surrender
be wrapped up in three slight letters?
A mix of mercy in a single syllable?
And yet.
Placed just so, like fine crystal
refracting evening sun into shards
of light, they precede each sentence,
illuming my way to the next best yes.

I’m grateful to Jesus, who is eternal and an all-at-once God, that we are bound by time.
That we are asked to step into our days one at a time, one yes at a time.
Yes–one day at a time, one yes at a time–that’s plenty for me to handle! The key IS surrender, isn’t it. Thank you, Jody, for a poignant reminder, artfully presented!
