"...and live a life of love, just as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God...."- Eph. 5:2

Striving...

An excerpt from a blog (Brielle Murray's Blog) I've been following...




"STRIVE TO TRUST ME in more and more areas of your life. Anything that tends to make you anxious is a growth opportunity.  Instead of running away from these challenges, embrace them, eager to gain all the blessings I have hidden in the difficulties.  If you believe that I am Sovereign over every aspect of your life, it IS possible to trust Me in all situations.  Don't waste energy regretting the way things are or thinking about what might have been.  Start at the present moment - accept things exactly as they are - and search for My way in the midst of these circumstances.

Trust is like a staff you can lean on, as you journey uphill with Me. If you are trusting in Me consistently, the staff will bear as much of your weight as needed.  Lean on, trust, and be confident in Me with all your heart and mind."







-From the "Jesus Calling" Devotional by Sarah Young
