DO YOU TRUST ME?
Do you trust me? Then let it go! –God
Allow Me to take over your life completely; every single area, surrender it to me. Do you trust me enough to put your guards down, be vulnerable and just be real for a minute? No front, no masks, no walls; just pure transparency. It's hard, isn't it?
Trust God with your heart, trust Him with your emotions and let go of everything that has been weighing you down. Let go of the dead weight that is causing fatigue because you're not walking at the pace you should. It’s causing unnecessary delays. Let go of the old baggage that is causing frustration because you're not at the level or the place that you know you should be. Do you trust Him enough to let go? Only you know the answer.
no front, no masks, no walls
just pure transparency
With 2019 well on its way, I urge you to refuse to continue this new year with the old. God cannot give you something new, if you don’t relinquish the old. Make room for the new; it will change your life. Clear out the clutter in your mind and in your heart and accept only the good. The bible says in Philippians 4:8 “And now, dear brothers and sisters, one final thing. Fix your thoughts on what is true, and honorable, and right, and pure, and lovely, and admirable. Think about things that are excellent and worthy of praise.”
This leaves absolutely no room for the negative, the past, or the hurt. Romans 12:2 says "Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God’s will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect." To renew of our minds is a daily decision, not just one day, but every day. Filtering our thoughts through the Word of God will help us gain ground when the enemy tries to bomb us with his filthy lies.
Take a moment to think about the things, the words, the situations, the actions, the past and present experiences and filter them through the Word of God. Be intentional about every thought that consumes your brain and measure it up to Philippians 4:8. Is it true or is it false? Is it honorable or is it untrustworthy? Is it right or is it wrong? Is it pure or is it immoral? Is it lovely or is it hateful? And is it admirable or is it shameful? If the answer is yes, then you're on the right track, continue to indulge in those thoughts because they are excellent and praiseworthy! But if the answer is no; then the question is, do you trust God enough to let go and allow Him to replace it with the good? Many of us have to do ‘heart checks’ and take inventory of what we have accumulated and taken space over time. In order to guard our hearts as the bible says, we constantly have to evaluate it and with the help of God, keep the good and ditch the not so good.
Today is a great day to strip yourself completely bare into the presence of your Heavenly Father and just be honest. Tell him, “Even though I am scared and vulnerable, I trust you! I trust you enough to make me whole because I know that in You, I am complete. I surrender all because when I do, I make room to receive everything you have in-store for me”
Be Encouraged, Be Blessed!
