Isaiah 41:13 (NKJV)

For I, the LORD your God, will hold your right hand, saying to you, "Fear not, I will help you."

filling in the gap

Gladys (Aylward) once said, "I wasn't God's first choice for what I've done for China... I don't know who it was... It must have been a man... a well-educated man. I don't know what happened. Perhaps he died. Perhaps he wasn't willing... And God looked down... and saw Gladys Aylward... And God said - "Well, she's willing."

(quoted from "Having a Mary Spirit", Joanna Weaver)

perhaps it's not that important to look for the right fit. the sea is vast - where do we start anyway? Perhaps the beauty lies in while one continues filling in the gap indefinitely, one finds oneself in the best fit eventually.
