OUT OF THE DARKNESS

John 4: 8-10 (The Message) "Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love. This is how God showed his love to us: He sent his one and only Son into the world so that we could have life through him. This is what real love is: It is not our love for God; it is God's love for us in sending his Son to be the way to take away our sins."

Trusting God begins and ends with the fierce love of God. Trusting God really is all about wrapping our hearts and minds and lives around the reality of God's love. He loved us so much that He sent His Son to die for our sins so we can have an abundant life - now and eternally.

You may find yourself in a frightening place filled with darkness and doubt. Your fragile heart may be wondering if God knows where you are or if He even cares. He does. Many of us are there right now. Just living each day trusting God and nothing is happening.

You think that because you cannot see the hand of God or sense His presence it means He is not working. Nothing could be further from the truth, girlfriend. We may not understand or even like His process but let me assure you that God is always at work in our lives. In my office I use to have a sign that said.” When you are down to nothing God is up to something.” This means God is always walking ahead of us in our lives. Sometimes it is very hard to see His hand at work. We keep asking what is the Lords plan?  If you are there right now just ask God to show Himself. He will let you know He is at work in our lives.

He will always love you. He will come through for you and you really can trust Him. He will always be there to carry us through.

Let's Pray
Father, I want to know You and trust You with my whole heart and life. Thank You for loving me even when I doubt Your love. I praise You for being faithful even when my faith is small. Teach me how to walk by faith and not by sight. Lord as we walk into the day let us walk only with you and trust only in you.
In Jesus' name we pray
