I was instantly at peace and I replied "OK". The traffic didn't change, but I did. It was amazing...what kind of God do we have? Who is He to be so willing to rescue us from ourselves? He speaks. We listen. We obey. He is speaking all the time, but I don't always listen or hear. I am so grateful that I heard Him that day. I got to know Him a little more, I got rescued, and I have a God who cares about me in the smallest things in my life. I got simplified!
Thanks again for your post.

Great story
Nell.
For me personally, I have slowly changed my understanding of what "the truth" is. Jesus said, "
you shall know the truth, and the truth shall set you free," hence it cannot be found in a multitude of doctrines. Knowing Him is knowing the truth. Probably it is the multitude of doctrines that keeps us from the truth, and often times it is the multitude of doctrines that keeps us in bondage.
When Jesus said to you in that traffic jam, "
let them all go," that was the truth which set you free. He gave you peace, He released you from bondage, He rescued you from anger.
What a Savior!
