Philippians 1:6 (ESV)
And I am sure of this, that he who began a good work in you
will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ.
I'm learning that I will never be able to trust God if I
don't believe that He is good! I will never believe that He is good if I don't
ultimately believe that He is always motivated by love. I will only trust God
to the degree that I know and perceive Him.
Recently the Lord has begun to open my heart and give me
the grace to fully trust Him. At first, believing that I am truly "free in
Christ" felt reckless and irresponsible! However, I'm finding a freedom
that I've never known, and it's come through arriving at the end of myself and
confessing to the Holy Spirit, "I can't do this! I am incapable of fixing
myself! I cannot raise myself upright! Jesus, YOU have to do it." I feel like
the pressure is off, and I'm just learning to BE and to REST!
Dear Lord, thank You for working in us to make us complete.
Help us to trust You completely. In the Name of Jesus, Amen.
