As your faith is strengthened you will find that there is no longer the need to have a sense of control, that things will flow as they will, and that you will  flow with them, to your great delight and benefit.  
~Emmanuel

"When I have learned to love God better than my earthly dearest, I shall love my
earthly dearest better than I do now."

Jerusalem

No One Knows the Day or Hour
36 “But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, but My Father only. 37 But as the days of Noah were, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be. 38 For as in the days before the flood, they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, 39 and did not know until the flood came and took them all away, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be. 40 Then two men will be in the field: one will be taken and the other left. 41 Two women will be grinding at the mill: one will be taken and the other left. 42 Watch therefore, for you do not know what hour your Lord is coming. 43 But know this, that if the master of the house had known what hour the thief would come, he would have watched and not allowed his house to be broken into. 44 Therefore you also be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect.

“Come, everyone who thirsts, come to the waters and he who has no money, come, buy and eat! Come, buy wine and milk without money and without price. Why do you spend your money for that which is not bread, and your labor for that which does not satisfy? Listen diligently to me, and eat what is good, and delight yourselves in rich food. Incline your ear, and come to me; hear, that your soul may live; and I will make with you an everlasting covenant, my steadfast, sure love for David.
Isaiah 55:1

Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth,
and the life. No one comes to the Father
exept through Me.
John 14:6

Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me.  To him who overcomes I will grant to sit with Me on My throne, as I also overcame and sat down with My Father on His throne.    
Revelation 3:20-21

"And you shall seek me, and find me, when you shall search for me with all your heart."
Jeremiah 29:13
 

And this is the promise that He has promised us- eternal life.
1 John 2:25

He was oppressed and He was afflicted,
Yet He opened not His mouth;
He was led as a lamb to the slaughter,
And as a lamb before its shearer is silent, So He opened not His mouth.  
Isaiah 53:7

"For if you love those who love you, what reward have you?
Do not even the tax collectors do the same?"
(Jesus in Matthew 5:46)
