"strive to trust me in more and more areas of your life. anything that tends to make you anxious is a growth opportunity. instead of running away from these challenges, embrace them, eager to gain all the blessings i havd hidden in the difficulties. if you believe that i am sovereign over every aspect of your life, it is possible to trust me in all situations. don't waste energy regretting the way things are or thinking about what might have been. start at the present moment - accepting things exactly as they are - and search for my way on the midst of those circumstances. trust is like a staff you can lean on as you journey uphill with me. if you are trusting in me consistently, the staff will bear as much of your weight as needed. lean on, trust in, and be confident in me with all your heart and mind."
psalm 52:8 & proverbs 3:5-6
my dear friend and mentor sent this to me this morning. it is written from the perspective of God to us {to be honest, this morning it felt like it was just written to me} in a book called "Jesus calling." i have heard a lot about this book and can't wait to read it, but i wanted to share this with the blogosphere.
Love this. I feel like I need to hear this over and over (and over) again. Trusting God is fully able-there is so much freedom in it!
ReplyDeleteBlessings, my friend! Thanks for sharing this today.
Thank you so much for sharing! I actually have this book...but unfortunately have never been consistent with reading it...
