Trust?
Psalms chapter 32 verses 3-5.
There was a time when I would not admit what a sinner I was. But my dishonesty made me miserable and filled my days with frustration. All day and all night your hand was heavy on me. My strength evaporated like water on a sunny day until I finally admitted all my sins to You and stopped trying to hide them. I said to my self, "I will confess them to the Lord." And You forgave me! All my guilt was gone.
People carry around with them such terrible amounts of fear and anger. Worry leads to health issues and the anxieties of what is about to come.
Who do you trust? Is it yourself? If it is, then why can't I find the answers to the never ending list of issues life creates? You have tried to trust in others and that just seems to create more issues and further distances your trust. It is better to struggle, hiding the issues that eat away at our thoughts. That way maybe a little bit of peace can be found before the next issue comes along.
It is good to help others. It is good to stick up for those who are being taken advantage of. It is good to be the listening ear that others need, when their troubles are surrounding them. But do not forget about yourself. You totally deserve a life of peace. No one is asking you to change your love for people. No! In fact, God expects you to care about others as well as yourself.
Why avoid God. Why continue to struggle with troubles and searching for answers when Jesus is telling you that God wants to hear from you. God wants you to bring your troubles and anxieties to Him. He wants you to trust in Him to help you. It is personal, no one else needs to know that you and God are having conversations.
It is not going to be announced to anyone. Your most inner secrets are already known by God, all He wants is for you to come to Him and trust in Him to listen to you. You are going up and down and all around, from one issue to the next, from one day to the next and never knowing what your future looks like.
Everything can come together with a simple knock on the door, for Jesus is waiting to answer. Let go of any doubts that you may have and trust in the one who can make a difference in all aspects of your life. You will find that trusting in Jesus leads to peace of mind and the confidence of knowing you have someone guiding and watching your every step.
God cares and loves you! He always has and always will. Pick up the bible and get to know the love of God. Get to know Jesus and the Light of the world. The burdens that weigh you down will be lifted and a fresh newness will fill your heart with thanksgiving and praise.
Your inner youth will be energized and what was once bitterness and confusion will turn to love and a peaceful smile. Jesus has brought you to God, where you now trust Him and see the results of His touch upon your life. Others around you share in your joy and if they ask, you are ready to tell them about Jesus.
Always remember, God is not asking you to change anything. He does not want you to change the people you know or to change any part of who you are. He is letting you know that He is waiting there to hear from you. He wants a personal relationship with you, where you are trusting in Him and no longer struggling on your own.
New steps require new beginnings. And new beginnings start with trusting in the steps you are about to take. Trust Jesus to bring you onto the path that is lit with the light of God. There you will see clearly the goodness of life, where you are sure footed and content. You will be amazed and never look back.
Thank you Father for Jesus and never giving up. Keeping the door open for all to come to. 😊
Romans chapter 12 verse 19.
Never avenge yourselves. Leave that to god, for He has said that He will repay those who deserve it. Instead feed your enemy if he is hungry. If he is thirsty give him something to drink and you will be 'heaping coals of fire on his head.'
2 Timothy chapter 1 verse 7.
"For the Holy Spirit, God's gift, does not want you to be afraid of people, but to be wise and strong, and to love them and enjoy being with them."
Psalms chapter 32 verses 10 and 11.
Many sorrows come to the wicked, but abiding love surrounds those who trust in the Lord. So rejoice in Him, all those who are His and shout for joy, all those who try to obey Him."
