do you trust Me?

Seems like God is whispering something to my heart tonight. "Do you trust me? Do you REALLY trust me?"

Of course I trust You God! I must sound a little like Peter when Jesus asked him,"Do you love Me?", and He asked more than once!

"Do you really trust Me Gwen? Do you trust Me with your kids? Do you trust Me with your neighbors? Do you trust Me with your talents? Do you trust Me with your broken down electronics, appliances, and vehicles? Do you trust Me with Your loved ones who don't know me yet?"

Wow! Yes, God I trust You... I think I trust You... I want to trust You.... Do I trust You?

I am sitting here contemplating, arguing with myself now, searching my heart. Is there some places I am not trusting You God? Why are You asking me this? Am I being safe? I don't wanna be safe, I wanna be full of faith!

So I have some more soul searching to do, and I challenge you, my friends, to do the same. I know you trust God, and I know I trust Him too-- He is faithful and has proven Himself faithful over and over again. But do I trust Him with ALL my heart and ALL my soul and ALL my mind and ALL my strength? do I really? maybe sometimes. Do I want to always- YES!

I can want to trust Him, I can think I trust Him, I can feel like I trust Him, but do my actions and words and attitudes SHOW that I trust Him?hmmm... gotta think about that one-- most of the time, probably so.. but I know I have things I need let God work on and work in.

God, You are TRUSTWORTHY! You are FAITHFUL, even when I am faithless! You are perfect and Holy and there is not one excuse or reason for me NOT to trust You! I know this in my mind, and I feel this in my soul and I believe this with all my heart! Lord help me to trust You even with all my strength! Increase my faith and make me bold like a lion. May my life glorify You and may my actions, words and attitudes SHOW that I TRUST YOU COMPLETELY!

So trust him absolutely, people;

lay your lives on the line for him.

God is a safe place to be.

Psalm 62:8 ( the message)
