"Moonless Trust"

So I read this in my devotion the other day and wanted to share. Sorry Amie this probably isn't want you wanted ...but here it goes...

"Some of you are perhaps feeling that you are voyaging just now on a moonless sea. Uncertainty surrounds you. There seems to be no signs to follow. Perhaps you feel about to engulfed by loneliness. There is no one to whom you can speak of your need. Amy Carmichael wrote of such a feeling when, as a missionary of twenty- six, she had to leave Japan because of poor health, then travel to China for recuperation, but then realized God was telling her to go to Ceylon. ...I have on my desk her original hanndwritten letter of August 25th, 1894, as she was en route to Colombo. ' All along, let us remember, we are not asked to understand, but simply obey...On July, 28 Saturday I sailed. We had to come on board on Friday night, and just as the tender (small boat) where were the dear friends who had come to say goodbye was moving off, and the chill of loneliness shivered through me, like a warm love-clasp came the long-loved lines - 'And only Heaven is better than to walk WITH CHRIST AT MIDNIGHT, OVER MOON-LESS SEAS.' I couldn't feel frightened then. Priase Him for the moonless seas - all the opportunity for proving Him to be indeed the El Shaddai,' the God who is Enough.' "
