Jody, Just Trust ME!

How many times have I told my kids to trust... To trust me, to trust themselves, but most importantly to trust God? I have learned over and over in my life that God is the only one we can trust completely for every phase of our lives. And yet, this evening I am finding it hard to give Him my worry and fear. The fact that there is a blood clot in my heart, just hanging around, makes me worry. But why should I worry when my God, my Saviour already knows about it? Because of our selfish nature we worry. I don't want to be done with this life right now and yet God does not promise us that we will live forever. He is saying to me now, Jody, won't you just trust me? Trust me like you did when you were holding your little girl in your arms and they said she was going to have heart disease. Trust me when the tears from your eyes fell down upon your son as he lay there still and in my arms. Trust me when there seemed no hope for paying bills, or finding a good job, just trust me. Trust me when your son in law broke your heart, Trust ME! Trust me when all others seem to be gone, or when things are changing in your life... Jody, just TRUST ME! Trust should be such an easy thing, why do we make it so hard? God can take care of our fear, and our worry.. with two little words, TRUST ME!

I am trying to trust too. It is hard for me to see my mom not feeling well! What an important reminder to keep looking at Christ and knowing he has us in his hands.
