How strange that today's message is all about trust when I've been finding myself straying from my path. I know it has a lot to do with trust. Are you the kind of person that has to see that things are good for you to believe that they are good? I've prayed to God for a loving husband more than anything else... don't judge me because of this fact.
While I know that I am and can be completely whole as a single woman, it is my deepest desire to be a family with an amazing man of God. I recently started dating someone who says he is what God said I can have but lately I've been faced with the fact that he may not be. He enjoys the type of lifestyle that I was led to believe was part of his past and when challenged with making faith based decisions - he has proven not to be a great leader in the Lord (as I believe a husband should be).
Am I rushing to make him the one that God promised me. I'm sure we've all heard this saying because it's a great one, "A woman should be so hidden in God's Word that a man has to seek him first to find her."
With that said, is he to blame? I need to take responsibility for myself. I have not come to terms with the fact that God loves me so much He gave his Son for me and if He's willing to give his Son's life as a sacrifice so that there is nothing that keeps us apart - how naive of me to not understand that I can have ALL things I ask for of my father in the name of Jesus!
Psalm 130:7 says "Put your hope in the Lord, for with the Lord is unfailing love and with him is full redemption."
Since God's love is unfailing I should know and want you to know that there is nothing he won't do for us! No question He won't answer. No door he won't open. No gift he will hold back. No thing that's impossible! So trust that God will give you the Holy things you've requested and can back in His Word. just like there is nothing you wouldn't give to your natural born children to see them happy or to make life easier - God our Father feels the same way. So instead of trying to make your own way take a stand on trusting God to provide for you!
