Trust is Faith in Action

God bless you - You are amazing in His sight, never forget that!!! He created you in His image, and we all have a Purpose!!!

Over the length of my life, I have seen much pain, sickness, but somehow I always knew, that there was more to life than what is revealed to the human eye. From before my 2nd birthday up until maybe a decade ago, I have had moments of severe Asthma attacks, moments when I was afraid to die and moments, where would have rather died, than kept on going......yet through it all I always had a smile on my face - people at school would attack me because of it - some would think, that I had the life they wanted, as I grew up in a wealthy home, had nice clothes, my parents drove cool cars, etc.......so everybody wanted what I had.....

I would have gladly given all that for Health and Joy - when I was little, I was acutely aware of the pain other people went through, and I always thought I had to make it right for each and everyone of them, thus always carrying the weight of the world on my shoulders - well, thankfully God taught me, that this is His domain. Yes, He calls me to be Christ to those around me, but I cannot carry their burden - yet I can point them to the one who can. Thankfully I don't have to be Jesus, all I have to be is His little sister - Phewww!!!

When one of the girls in school attacked me, and said she couldn't believe that I could always be happy - I simply said, that no, I wasn't always happy, but that I didn't believe in pulling others down with my moods, just because I struggled either with health or other issues.

This has always been my approach.......everybody carries their share of stuff they're dealing with, I don't have to heap my stuff on them, too. Glad I found Jesus, cause I know, He can deal with all of me - the good and the bad, the dark and the light - and the best of it is, He will still love me, even if I make a complete fool of myself in front of Him over and over again.

Thankfully over the years I have learnt to trust on such a deep level, that today I trust Him no matter what comes my way, as I know, that with Him, I can make it through the desert, and He will lead me beside still waters.....and I will find rest. As a result I learnt to trust others more fully......for I see Jesus in them, and I will never fully understand, but they may just need to hear my testimony or my fears - they might be able to relate on a deeper level, and feel they're not alone - that others have it hard, too - I still don't believe in being moody, but I am willing to share about my struggles and victories - and I am never ashamed to point to the One, who has helped me through my struggles - for I know, people need to hear, that Help is on the way.....

Just as Grace is Love in Action, Trust is Faith in Action - both are vital to a successful life - a life committed to Christ, a life that matters in the end. For the only thing you can take with you, when you leave is the Love that you have spread and the Love that has returned to you.

Praying, that when my days are over, that I will be able to take a lot of Love with me - and that I will hear my beloved Father in Heaven say: Well done my child!!! Praying that my testimony will encourage you, to spread love to those around you - you will see, when you give Love freely to friend and foe alike, it will come back manifold - sometimes through channels you would never have imagined.

Trust Him, that He can lead you home, and live boldly for Him - I promise, you'll never regret it - 
God bless you, Amen
