TRUST

Trusting God has never been easy for me. I have for the longest time been unable to fully trust Him. Yes, I can trust Him in the little things, but when it comes to really big things in my life it is hard. I am so used to being in control and have had to do everything myself. Latley God has been putting me into situations where I have NO CHOICE but to trust Him, and it is been real hard for me. I have spent alot of time crying and crying out to God. I am learning how to pray in times of need. When I am at work I spen alot of time praying in the spirit on the grill. At least no one at work knows what I am doing. It does help to calm me. The past few days I can't even read the word without crying. I was reading my Devotional Daily Bible (the best devotional I have ever done) and the portion of scripture I was reading was in Exodus 34 and it was talking about finding forgiveness and boy did that hit home. I have a hard time forgiving mself and I know that is wrong, because if I can't forgive myself it means that I can accept God's forgiveness. And I don't want that. I just started balling as I was reading. I read out loud at home so that it helps me to read better outloud in front of others. And as I was reading the scriptrue I couldn't get past a few words without crying. I know more today than yesterday that HE LOVES ME. No matter what I do and as long as I come to Him and ask for His forgiveness He is faithful to forgive me, and I am forgiving myself a whole lot easier.

God has been showing a friend of mine that He wants to "RESCUE ME" ! I have been trying to get a grasp on that cause it is more than my mind can handle. Daily God has been giving me little glimps' of that. I love how when I have trouble getting a grip of His Love He just pours out more so that I get overwhelmed by it. I Love my Jesus and I am starting to take the bricks down that have been up for years.

Kim, it is so wonderful that you are reading your devotional bible and being touched by His words to you. How He loves you and wants you to know it. Praying in the Spirit on the grill at work is awesome! You will see changes as you do this. It's very powerful. Forgiving yourself is a sign of maturity and you are growing much so keep going. I love you.
