Trust...

          Trust... Have you ever noticed how in order to trust God, you seem to have to lose everyone else? The people, the things you feel you can't do without, are exactly what you need to let go of if you want God to do His best in and through you.
​          God is still a jealous God and wants you all for Himself. He doesn't always want to share us with anyone else. Count that a privilege because it means that His eyes are on you and you are that important to Him! He, then, should be that important to you too, moreso than anyone else. Oh, it doesn't mean that you can't have friends and that you should neglect and reject your loved ones, but it does mean that there are times when it's going to have to be God and God alone. He alone has the answer, His timing is perfect and although your family and friends may mean well, they don't have all the answers, sometimes they have none. But, God is always dependable, trustworthy, a confidante, a husband, a true Friend. He knows, He sees, He cares, He always has the answer, He always knows what's best. That's His job, that's His profile. He can't help it, He's just God and He will allow us at times to see how inadequate and incompetent our human support system is so that we can see how perfectly competent and capable He is and that there is indeed none like Him, none that can compare to Him. And when we run to Him and Him alone, we will be satisfied, our faith will be renewed, our strength will be renewed and He will be able to work and do what He does best - fix it - and He will get all the glory! And He won't just "fix it", He will in the process, mould and shape us, give us backbone and develop our character into what He wants it to be and that we too can be proud of.
