Just Believe

"Don't be afraid; just believe"
Mark 5:36b

It is the most terrible thing: to just believe

That means we have to let go
Of everything; of our own ideas and plans,
Our own understanding of how the world works,
Of fear

That means we have to stop worrying,
That means we have to live in victory though we don't see it yet-
We know it already happened
And is happening every moment

That means we have to be ready to be moved-
To let God pull you out of wherever you are,
Not because you are not doing a good job,
But because you are starting to rely on yourself

That means we have to be ready to not be moved-
Sometimes we are without vision and without audience,
We don't know what to do, how to serve
And we have to get down to the unglorious task of the 'mundane'

But remember John 13, and remember how
After Jesus became flesh our bodies forever became temples
And after Jesus served
The least forever became blessed

wow.

you know, i often find it really hard to just leave a comment, but i do read your stuff. sometimes i cant leave a comment because i feel like i only have one word to say like above ^. they took my amen.

but i say amen too.

anyways, sometimes, i cant really leave comments because they are so ponderous, and sometimes, they are just little lessons that you have reminded me of, and i want to thank you.

RRR.

Very powerful and truthful message, and just what I needed to hear today.

This is something I never got to say to you:

Keep writing. God has gifted you with honest words. Keep using it for His glory.
It reminds us of what's important. I Thank God for these words.
