3.21.12

I trust You and I believe You. I trust that you are the Creator of my life, that You are the author of my faith, that You are who You say You are, and I am who You say I am. I trust that Your love for me is unconditional, that Your mercy is endless, and that Your promises towards me are true. I believe that when You speak it will be done. I believe that Your ways are not our ways, and that I can not trust my own heart, but follow after Yours. I believe that You have gone before me, but are also ever present in my life. I am confident that You are my portion, that nothing else in the world compares to the riches You have in glory for those who love You. I believe that Your provide for those who place their trust in You, that You honor those who honor You. I believe that You are Just, that you look at the broken state of humanity and Your heart aches to restore it. I know these things. You are Goodness, You are Love, You are Peace, You are Hope. You are Everything. I believe that without You there is no meaning, because You are the Creator of destinies. I believe that You never leave us or forsake us, but that we build walls in between us. We place sin and disobedience in between God and ourselves, and we refuse to believe that You are willing to continue loving, no matter what. We create distance where there is none. You have said that there is nowhere we can escape from Your presence, not the heights of heaven, or the depths of hell. Wherever we go, You are also there. You are patient when we are stubborn, You are willing to wait until we realize that true freedom comes in complete submission. You created freewill so that the hearts of men could choose to love You. You have given us a choice of who we will serve, but have told us that when we serve You, we will have a yoke that is easy and a burden that is Light. You provide Living Water for the thirsty, Peace like a River for the restless, You are the Bread of Life to the hungry, You are Renewed Strength to the weary, You are Healing to the broken, You are Deliverance for the captive, You are Love to the least of these.

You are Jesus. I trust You and I believe You.
