Trust.
You say trust.
You say believe.
You promise You have my best interests in mind. You promise that You see the bigger picture. Trust. Trust My promises. Trust My words. Trust My works. Trust in Me.
So much easier said than done, isn’t it?
I took our “Spiritual Gift” test at church to see what mine were. Number one was Faith.
I’m sorry, but are you as surprised as I am?
I feel like I shouldn’t have taken that test. As soon as I did, my faith has been challenged to new limits. And I have to take everything that’s within me to have FAITH… to TRUST that He is going to work EVERYTHING together for good. Because I love God. That’s what He says…… right?
Right.
Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not unto your own understanding, but in ALL YOUR WAYS acknowledge Him and He will direct your paths.
Trust in the Lord with all MY heart and lean not on MY own understanding, but in all MY ways acknowledge Him and He will direct MY paths.
Trust in my God, my Savior, my Faithful Friend, my Everything and do NOT even listen to my own understanding, my own thoughts, my own wants and desires, but with everything I have, in everything I say and do, LISTEN to GOD. Follow HIS advice and He will give me the best life. He will take me down the right path. He will give me a rockin’ life.
That’s what He promises and His words are true – they will not return void.
So that’s what I’m gonna do. I’m gonna trust in the Lord with all my heart, with everything that I have within me, with everything that is driving me – I’m gonna trust. Here’s my life, do what you will with it, Lord.
Because I trust You.

Well written, Amber. That is a concept that is a constant challenge, and sometimes, a battle, each day of my life. We need encouragement from each other with our faith. Thanks for sharing. Love, Mom
