then I read this blog post this morning...
TRUST WITHOUT BORDERS...
and I realized that (once again) ...it isn't about me... OH-imagine that?!
"It isn't that we have a TRUTH problem; it's that we have a TRUST problem. We don't really TRUST what we know to be TRUE." ~Arabah Joy
SO WHAT'S THE PROBLEM, HERE?!
anxiety that chokes...
fear that smothers...
pasts that don't let go...
and futures that look bleak.
depression that hangs on...
failure that keeps us down...
uncertainty that weights us down...
unhealthy life choices.
grief that overwhelms.
pain that stabs.
guilt that covers.
shame that hides us...
patterns of sin
truth.trust.
i can stuff scriptures in my brain all day...
read all self-help articles...
chat with others about issues...
but it really boils down to one thing.
DO. I. TRUST. GOD. AT. HIS. WORD.
Do I really know it to be true in my life?
That God DOES really have things under control...
That my future is secure...
That He loves me enough that He won't let me go...
That my eternal security doesn't depend on my performance--but on Christ alone.
DO. I. TRUST. IT.
DOES. MY. LIFE. REFLECT. IT.
So-I dug out a bracelet that my kids made for me a LONG time ago...
and I'm taking the 40 day challenge.
For the next 40 days I am going to learn how to TRUST WITHOUT BORDERS... And I am trusting that I will loose myself and find that Jesus will always be enough.
