The Lord is teaching me about trust right now...again. I have felt, in the past, that I had grasped the concept and learned what I needed to. I thought I had conquered my mistrust, doubt and fears, but I now know that this must be an ongoing process with me. Why can't I just get it? It would be a lot easier for me that way. Maybe God isn't concerned with what is easy for me. Maybe He would rather me submit myself repeatedly to Him, learning humility and trust on a regular basis. I'm not complaining. I'm thankful. I'm thankful He cares enough to teach me, to correct me. And I'm thankful that for me, the end lesson is always His sovereignty, forgiveness, and provision. Everyday I need to choose to be deliberate in my trust, intentional in my belief.
Yeah, it's a process, but hopefully I'm learning.

We visited my parents' church last night and the pastor talked about the rewards we can earn in Heaven. I think one of them was for having faith through tough circumstances (I couldn't tell you the reference he gave). It just struck me again that what God wants most from us is our faith. I always seem to get caught up in the works and He's just asking me to trust Him. It sounds so easy doesn't it?
