PreachSample

I'm learning that I will never be able to trust God if I don’t believe that He is good! I will never believe that He is good if I don’t ultimately believe that He is always motivated by love. I will only trust God to the degree that I know and perceive Him. For many years, I have perceived God as being moody and temperamental with wavering degrees of goodness. Viewing God this way has sent me down road after road of performance-based pursuits; trying to please God and keep on performing so that He’ll stay happy with me and bless me.
In the past season, I’ve been on quite a spiritual journey with God. The Lord continues to change my heart on a daily basis. I’m experiencing a grace to fully trust Him that has been somewhat foreign. At first, believing that I am truly “free in Christ” felt reckless and irresponsible! However, I'm finding a freedom that I’ve never known, and it’s come through arriving at the end of myself and confessing to the Holy Spirit, “I can’t do this! I am incapable of fixing myself! I cannot raise myself upright! Jesus, YOU have to do it!” I feel like the pressure is off, and I'm just learning to BE and to REST! It’s out of this rest where I’m finding joy in serving others!
