God.Love.Future.Trust
While I was in bed last night, I had a lot on my mind but was too lazy to get out of my bed so I saved my thoughts for now.
They say “A woman’s heart should be so lost in God that a man must seek Him in order to find her.”
I know I don’t need a girlfriend right now, but I want one.
I feel as if I can like someone so easily, and I feel like if I were to marry someone who wasn’t “the One” then I could still come to love her.
Does that make sense???
But then maybe I don’t know what Love, in that sense, is.
But God is Love. So maybe I really don’t know who God is?
Of course I know who He is though. But it’s like I know OF him but I don’t really know him personally. But then again like Pastor Eugene Sim said, kids say they are “saved” like 5 times. And whether or not this is genuine, or just emotions, being saved is having a personal relationship with God. I claim to be saved but do I really have a personal relationship with Him?
Don’t get me wrong, this isn’t doubt, I don’t doubt that He is God. I know all the facts, His undying love for us, His grace and mercy.
But that’s exactly the point, knowing the facts isn’t enough. At Passion 2011, in Ben Stuart’s Breakout Session: “Fighting For Holiness,” (Along with Beth Moore’s talk [which I was dozing off in so I didn’t take notes so I can quote anything she said exactly {but I have the Digital All Access pass so I’ll get to that sometime soon}]) he mentioned that “What you think about is what you’ll care about, and what you care about is what you will chase.” Which also goes along with (I think it was) one of the topics from my church’s Youth Winter Retreat: Head, Heart, Hand. What’s in you’re head is what you’ll think about, and what you think about will grow in your heart, and become what you care about, and what you care about you will eventually pursue and fulfill with your hands (take action) and chase that.
I think about God a lot thought. I think? Maybe it’s not enough? Because if you look at it as a 3 part objective, I would be in the first part. Because I’ve thought about Him but I feel like as I don’t have a Passion for him and passion comes from the heart right? So I could say I feel as if He’s not in my heart or I’m not allowing Him in my heart.
Which leads to another problem. My future.
As of now, thinking about my future scares me.
Of what am I scared of? I’m not even sure.
I know that my future is in His hands and that should be so comforting, but then again I don’t let Him in my heart so it makes me fear even more.
In other words, I know I can trust in Him, But I can’t come to trust myself to let it all go and trust in Him.
So saying all that, do I really trust Him? Obviously not because I’m trying still to hold my own weight and do everything on my own.
As I said “I can trust in Him” which doesn’t mean “I do trust in Him.”
..If that makes sense.
But yeah those are few of the thoughts that I was pondering in my mind last night.
Til next time! God Bless!
