Trust

I've had a lot of things come up lately about trust in God, and here is the thing.
If you have trust in the Lord, you're set.
There it is. But the thing is, do you really have trust in God or are you blindsided?

How do you know?
Are you feeling trusted? human trust can only go so far.
I guess I'm still seeking to find this answer.

I've had a lot of things also come up lately (and even with me personally) where people have felt spiritually drained, like they don't have anything to offer, or that they're too exhausted to work to offer something, but as I've learned in the last couple of days, it is so worth it.

You know the verse in Jeremiah, right? 29:11?

"For I know the plans I have for you....."
The thing about popular verses like this, is that no one ever thinks to read on, well I learned this from the devo in choir today. Here is the verse, along with verse 12:

"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you."

I will listen to you. How many people do you know that can give you a future? How many people do you know that will actually sit down, and listen to you? It is really rare these days. Fortunetly, I've found some, and am so grateful that they can listen, and happy in knowing I can do the same for them, but only God can give you a future. I'm not saying that God can't work through other people to show you the way to your future, but God is involved in some way or another.

I guess what I'm saying is if you have struggles, if you feel spiritually drained, or exhausted, call upon the Lord. He will listen, he will show you the answers, maybe in some weird twisted way...he likes to switch it up every once in awhile...

He is a very creative God.
So thank you, to those who listen, to those who strive everyday to be good examples for Christ. Thank you PA and RA for being the best ever, and thank you Lord for everything.

Can I get an AMEN?!


I love you!
