I have to be honest, there are so many times that I have struggled to believe. I am thankful that others in the Bible have cried out to God asking them to help them with their unbelief. I've struggled multiple times...to believe that someone loved me—really loved me. To believe that I could trust someone…truly trust someone. To believe that God not only loves me but is able to ‘do this!?!” (Whatever 'this' is at that moment.)
Why, I wonder have I had to suffer pain and loss and abuse? When the tears pile up—I sense a smile and simple
whisper, “It’s not ALL of the story…you’re not in heaven yet—this place is
never going to be perfect.”
I realize how much my heart longs for perfection and the
balance of still continuing to dream about perfection because that is what it
will be like in heaven, but keeping my mind at bay knowing perfection will never
arise here on earth.
I sense Jesus tugging on my heart—do you want perfection
or do you want me?
Do I believe that He is the answer to my
every need—my every desire for perfection?
Let’s not let anything or anyone stop us from reaching Him. Let’s help each other remember Him and believe!
This season is upon us—we’ve just finished mounds of turkey and
stuffing and will probably continue to snack for days on the left-over’s.
As I look around my home and my neighbor’s home and the
beautiful things of the season to motivate or entice me—my heart is nudged to remember the
reason that we even celebrate this wonderful time of year.
Will you help me remember that it’s not about perfection…but
about believing!
Say it with me, “I BELIEVE He is able to do this!”
