Trust & Love ~ CD Swanson
Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the LORD, and depart from evil. It shall be health to thy navel, and marrow to thy bones. Proverbs 3:5-8 (KJV)
The fundamentals of loving God are an inward and outward process, but love is a gift from above. He loves us with the gusto of a welcome breeze on a balmy night, He loves us with the strength of a powerful eagle soaring high above the earth, He loves us with the softness of a single snowflake swirling about, He loves us with the depth of an ocean, endless, ever moving, and mysterious, but most importantly…as a “Father loves His child.”
Trusting God and loving Him through every situation we face is one of the most intimate relationships we ever will have. When we trust Him, fully and completely, even when all things suggest otherwise, we are held up by His right hand of righteousness. When we love Him above all else, we are inherently part of His Kingdom and assured a place and a crown in heaven for our actions here.
Trusting Him, and leaning not on “your own understanding” is being keenly aware of our frailties, and acknowledging we are human and in His capable hands.
He has given us His promises in writing, and His voice is clearly heard by those who follow Him. He will never leave us, nor forsake us, no matter the circumstances, or how difficult or challenging our life may become.
When someone says “NO”— GOD says “YES!”
“Father, thank You for Your love, I am Yours alone, in Jesus name, Amen.”
