Once again, I am reminded and shocked of His mercy and lovingkindness towards me.
Once again, I am made aware of how much I need Him.
Once again, I am made aware that it is only through Him and by Him that all things happen.
Once again, He reminds me so tenderly and lovingly that He is in control.
Once again, He reminds me that He loves me and He loves to be with me.
Once again, I am filled with doubt and insecurity...
but once again, He reminds me that He is living and active and dwelling in me!
...
Oh for GRACE to Trust Him more! If trusting Him is what made me successful, then I would be the least successful of all! But for some reason, He created us just for love! And that is what makes us successful?? Why is He so good? Not that I'm complaining, I am just in awe of this truth! I need to be reminded of how He feels about me over and over and over and over and over! I don't see how it will ever get old! I pray that this revelation and truth hits MANY.......no, ALL hearts today! No one is too old or too young to hear this message. There is NO exceptions to this truth! HE LOVES US ALL!
Now doesn't that just put a smile on your face and warmth in your heart?
God is SO good! :)
...
As long as I keep this truth in the forefront of my heart and mind; and keep getting reminded of it as much as possible, will trusting Him be easier? Or will it at least make me want to trust Him just because I am aware of His goodness towards me? I think yes. Easier....well, maybe not always...but I want to trust Him all my days! I say this in faith and out of desire...I am most definitely not 'there' yet, but I want to be.
Philliapians 4:13 "I can do everything things through Christ who strengthens me!"
That verse cannot be read/written without reading the surrounding verses... I challenge you to read Phillipians 4 (or even the entire book of Phillipians)! I want to have faith and trust like Paul (author of Phillipians).
In verse 12 he says "I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want."
I want to be content in any and every situation! (Yet again I pray) : Lord give me grace and help me to trust You more; completely! Amen and amen!
May the Lord bless you all and please tell me of ways/things to pray for you and I would LOVE to partner with you in prayer. I have already received a few prayer requests and I am thrilled to be partnering with fellow brothers and sisters in Christ!
May the Lord bless you and keep you.
May the Lord make his face to shine upon you,
and be gracious to you.
and be gracious to you.
May the Lord lift up his countenance upon you,
and give you peace.
and give you peace.
Numbers 6:24-26
