Trust in God is not easy.  I don’t recall God seeing in scripture anything about things being easy, but my mind rebuffs at the notion of stretching myself.  Belief is one thing.  I don’t have to take much action when it comes to belief.  But trust is the next level.  Can I trust that God will actually show up?  If I believe that God is either everything or He isn’t then I must live my life as though I am convinced of that.  I must trust that God will show up.  The difficulty comes in for me is when God doesn’t show up the way I think He is going to show up.  LOL!  It is as though I am saying to God, “Wait a minute, you didn’t read the lines on your script correctly.  That is not what is supposed to happen.”  In that regard I am playing God and wanting God to play the part I have assigned.  Rather presumptuous of me, dont’ you think?  Being convinced of God’s love and care means that I trust that no matter what happens I will not lose sight of who I truly am.  No matter what the circumstances that occur in my life I can trust that God is with me, that I am growing more in love and no real harm will come to me.  To do this, I have to start out small.  I learned many years ago to turn all the little things over to God–everything from buying shoes to making a phone call.  It was when I began to see how God showed up in these small situations that I trusted that God would show up in big situations.  I learned to be delighted and surprised by how God showed his love for me. It became a reflection of the delight and love God has for me.  My prayer for you today is to test out how you can be convinced of God’s love for you.  Take something small and seemingly inconsequential and turn it over–ask God to do with what He will and just be open to what happens.  Make it a great one!  Peace~Colleen
