HA…funny cuz its true! How often is God asking us to just STOP….collaborate and listen to him! I have found myself stopping over and over just even in this past week.
Im a doubter people…I doubt cuz I think I am wise…I doubt cuz I dont trust. I dont trust God to take care of me and for me, to fight for me and defend me, to love me and forgive me. So I doubt me…I doubt him…I doubt you! I doubt my integral role in my own story.
What do you wish most of all? What do I fear most of all? My FEARS are wrapped around doubt, dis-trust, and despair and how desperately pathetic I am. Does my fear conquer my hope? YES So….heres where my STOP begins!
“If God is for us, than who can be against us? He who did not spare his own Son but gave him up for us all, how will he not also with him graciously give us all things?…Who shall seperate us for the LOVE of Christ.”
get this now…
not DEATH…LIFE…ANGELS….RULERS…THINGS NOW…OR THINGS TO COME….NOT HEIGHT…NOT DEPTH….NO…..not ANYTHING in all of CREATION.
STOP YOU…collaborate and LISTEN!!!! God is telling me…WHAT do you have to fear…WHAT do you have to WORRY….who am I to ever doubt the God that gave his one and only son for ME. The wretch that I am…a heart who has turned and engulfed itself with this world OVER and OVER again. That was for me!
“But God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us!!! Do I get this?? God Beat me down! My foolish heart has become darkened and like in Romans …”thinking myself as wise, I became foolish!”
So I have stopped…now What? Who am I to be? How am I to act? Read Romans 12:9-22 and YOU tell me!!
Amen!
