Daily Life

TRUST. It sounds simple enough, right? I mean, c'mon, it's only five letters long. It can't be that complicated. Wrong! Somehow trust always seems to elude me. It does not come naturally. Instead of trusting God's perfect plan for my life, I continually try to control my own future. But guess what? I'll let you in on a little secret...no matter how hard I try, I will never be able to change my future. Ever. God has already planned it all out for me. Trust isn't easy. It's a scary adventure. But it is an adventure that God has called me on; and one that He will help me through. If I love and abide in Jesus Christ, everything will work together for my good just as He has promised. Right now I just need to focus on Christ and let Him work through me. He knows best...even if I can't always see it. My life is in His hands.

How deep the Father's love for us,
How vast beyond all measure
That He should give His only Son
To make a wretch His treasure

It was my sin that held Him there
Until it was accomplished
His dying breath has brought me life
I know that it is finished

Why should I gain from His reward?
I cannot give an answer
But this I know with all my heart
His wounds have paid my ransom
