God is My Goose

            If you’ve seen the movie “Top Gun,” you’ll remember the character Goose that was Tom Cruise’s (“Maverick’s”) wingman. I love the thought of having a friend that loves you that is a constant source of support, co-piloting as you navigate your way through life. That’s when it occurred to me, God is my Goose!

                I always say, “God guides and God provides.” My core belief is that God will take care of everything. I mean you have to do the work and make the best decisions and choices that you can, but sometimes things feel beyond your control and out of your reach. Just know, if you need something, really need it, and it’s legitimate, have faith, God will make it happen. It’s coming your way. It’s already done. It may not be on your timetable, because God has a plan and it’s on his schedule, not yours.

                When you are confused, wondering how it’s all going to come together, it’s hard to give it to God, and just let him handle it. However, that is exactly what you need to do. Have faith. Believe. Release it. There is a higher power at play.

                When you are alone or just feel lonely, it’s hard to see God. Just know you are never alone. God is always with you, working to clear the path and make sure you get what you need to move forward and get to where you need to be.

When your feelings are hurt and you wonder who is going to look after you, remember God’s got your back. God is always in your corner. God is always looking out for your greater good. People can say things that hurt our feelings and do things that we do not like, but let it be. God will take care of all of that, too. Open your heart and let God heal it. He will help you see things differently to help you release the hurt.

Let God do some of the heavy lifting. It’s not all on your back. God is your Goose, your wingman, your pilot, your source. You are not alone. Find strength in knowing God is on your team and that is all you need.
