TRUSTING is hard.
Because you can't see TRUST.
You have to use BLIND FAITH
and FAITH you can't see.
And then you have to add HOPE
which you can't see either.
So how do you TRUST with a BLIND FAITH
that is filled with HOPE when
"All around us we observe a pregnant creation.
The difficult times of pain throughout the world are simply birth pangs.
But it’s not only around us; it’s within us.
The SPIRIT of GOD is arousing us within.
We’re also feeling the birth pangs.
These sterile and barren bodies of ours are yearning for full deliverance"*
Hmm.
It makes you wonder doesn't it
as you crave so much more
as it is a yearning that stirs your inner desires,
that just are not yet your reality
You crave the change.
You crave REAL CHANGE.
But then you are told to TRUST.
So you are back at the beginning again
stuck in a cycle.
And then you finally get it.
TRUSTING isn't so hard after all
once you remove yourself from the equation.
"Trust in and rely confidently on the LORD with all your heart
And do not rely on your own insight or understanding.
In all your ways know and acknowledge and recognize HIM,
And HE will make your paths straight and smooth [removing obstacles that block your way]" (Proverbs 3:5-6).
And then you start to SEE HIM
because HE is
THE TRUST
THE FAITH
THE HOPE
that makes TRUSTING & BLIND FAITH & HOPE
worth the waiting.
"That is why waiting does not diminish us, any more than waiting diminishes a pregnant mother. We are enlarged in the waiting. We, of course, don’t see what is enlarging us. But the longer we wait, the larger we become, and the more joyful our expectancy" *(Romans 8:22-25)
And before you know it
JOY fills your heart
because what you have been waiting for
has been there the whole time.
TRUSTING is the sweet spot of FAITH,
as it moves you beyond point A to point B to point C
with a
GOD EXPECTANCY
that fills you with
ABUNDANTLY MORE
which exceeds all your own
EXPECTATIONS,
because when you
"Wait for and confidently expect the LORD;
Be strong and let your heart take courage;
Yes, wait for and confidently expect the LORD" (Psalm 27:14)
PEACE overwhelms you
so that you finally
SEE TRUST
because
TRUST is GOD.
And then you get it ,
you really get it
because you finally
SEE HIM in the midst of the unseen,
because you
TRUST in the one with a new found FAITH that isn't so BLIND after all
because it brings you to a place and space
where you BELIEVE so deeply
because
you no longer TRUST in yourself
and you start to walk where you have never been before
because it is where HE is taking you
because HE SEES
way beyond what you & I can't see.
Oh HE SEES exactly where we are going,
because HE told us from the very beginning that
HE would direct our paths.
And that my friend is
LIVING THE ABUNDANT LIFE~
LIVING with MORE,
despite the LESS.
And all you have to do is
TRUST IN THE
"PROMISE KEEPER"
