Total Trust

So all of you probably know that I love Fairy Tales. I've been reading them since I was about ten. I haven't stopped yet. Except now, I read retellings, novelizations. The only retelling of Rapunzel I've read is called Golden, by Cameron Dokey. I'd recommend it for those of you who like fairytales. Anyway, there is this part in it about trust. I'll copy it out here.

"It's hard to describe precisely what happened then. Later I realized that I had been given my first real glimpse of sorcery. As Melisande gazed upon them, many in the crowd cried out. Some fell to their knees and covered their faces with their hands, while others stood perfectly still, as if they had been turned to stone. In the end, though, they were all the same in one thing: Each and every one of them looked down. No person there assembled could hold the sorceress's eyes with their own.

Then she glanced down at me, and it seemed to me as if my heart would rise straight up out of my chest. All of my fears were laid bare, and my hopes also. A voice in the back of my mind instructed me to look away or I would have no secrets left, but I did not. What had I to conceal? This was not some stranger, who saw only my strangeness. This was the woman who had raised me since birth. The only one I knew and trusted. This was Melisande.

And so I held her eyes and did not look away. After a moment, she smiled. I smiled back, and at this, my heart resumed its proper place and all was right once more."

Lately, this is how I've been feeling about God. Total Trust. That one day, I'll be in heaven and God will look at me and judge me (except instead of seeing frail broken me, he'll see his perfect son) and I'll just look at the only one who truly knows me and the only one I truly know and trust. And I won't look away. Because he is my God and my Daddy, and I love him so much. And he loves me so much. I honestly can't wait.
