I pray that you would trust the Lord with all of your life, with all your heart, with every breath, with every blink of your eye, with every part of you. Trust God in everything you do at all times and give it all to Him. God will never disappoint you when you acknowledge Him and lean not to your own understanding. If we can only understand that we serve a God of the impossible, a God who transcends natural limits, only then will we have the assurance to let go of our works, of our abilities, and trade them in for God's unlimited possibilities. Before Jesus took His last breath, He said, "It is finished" (John 19:30 KJV). For us, that means we can live in the finished work of Jesus-the result of what Jesus accomplished in His death on the cross. We can live in the miracle of the resurrection and live in the new life that Jesus promised. The old has passed away, and the new has come.
Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new. 2 Corinthians 5:17 NKJV
And in this new place we can enter true rest, knowing that we are living in a new dimension of God's grace, God's love, God's provision, and God's protection. We are living in the kingdom of God, and in this new kingdom, when we trust God, everything changes. Impossible becomes possible, darkness becomes light, doubt becomes faith, and fear becomes hop alive in the Lord.
For whoever enters God's rest also rests from his own work, just as God did from His. Hebrews 4:10 BSB
To give them beauty for ashes, The oil of joy for mourning, The garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; That they may be called trees of righteousness, The planting of the LORD, that He may be glorified. Isaiah 61:3 NKJV
Friends, we're coming out of this season. We're going to come out of this together-better, stronger, wiser, and closer to our God, the one who loves us unconditionally. I'm praying for you, I love you, and I'm trusting God with you. We have to say in the powerful place of trusting God and not be moved by what we see. "For we walk by faith, not by sight" (2 Corinthians 5:7 NKJV). Let's be inspired to be moved by the Word of God which shall never fail us but will always lead us to a place of love, of hope, and of glory-a place even beyond our imagination.
I love you; I'm praying for you. May God richly bless you. Stay in trust.
Rather, as it is written: "No eye has seen, no ear has heard, no heart has imagined what God has prepared for those who love Him." But God has revealed it to us by the Spirit. 1 Corinthians 2:9-10 BSB
Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal. 2 Corinthians 4:16-18 NIV
