This morning, I realized I cannot experience the love of God
and fear or anxiety, at the same time. I cannot protect myself, emotionally,
and fully praise God, at the same time, either. I can choose to have open hands
towards God and trust Him, being ready to receive whatever He has to teach me
or give to me, or, I can choose to have clenched fists, trying to protect
myself and not being open to receiving anything from anyone. I can choose to
face God openly, trusting His love, goodness, grace and mercy for me, or, I can
hide my face in fear of Him and of others. I cannot do both, at the same time.
I believe, this is a moment-by-moment decision, whether I
will trust Him or not.
Today, I hope and pray that I will choose to trust Him, no
matter what situations I face, and believe He is with me always, with His love,
mercy, and grace, giving me the strength I need to face any situation, together
with Him, with His peace, wisdom, love, and grace.

I never heard this
song before, until this morning, but it has a great message for me today! “Jesus
is All I Need” sung by Gene Watson - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oXJBCpV4PCo
God bless you as you learn to be a trusting child in His presence.
