Trust and Confidence = Fredoom

 Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, because God has said, “Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you.” Hebr.13:15
 

Unfortunately, often we respond to others out of our weaknesses rather than our strengths. Not only that, we often perceive others to do to us what our own weakness is. For example, if I had a cheating spouse, I expect others to betray me also. If I had an angry father or mother, I perceive God to be angry toward me also. If my parents neglected and rejected me, we often expect others to do the same.

Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the Lord your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you.” Deut. 31:6

These two passages of scripture are just a few of many confirming to us that God is always with us, no matter what circumstance we find ourselves in. To help us and protect us and give to us what we need. To guide us and love us.

Rejection is a tool from hell!
Rejection tells us many things, e.g. "you are not good enough, pretty enough, rich enough, strong enough.......you are not enough......Well this does a number on people's soul and emotions. There are so many people in counselling and on antidepressants because of only this one. Not to mention many other hurting tools from hell.

But that is so contrary to God\s Word. We are enough for HIM. He accepts us through the sacrifice of God not by our own merit. Even though He loved us when we yet were sinners. Meaning when we were still doing all those terrible sinful things against God's will for us. He loved us anyway. Wow just imagine, you loving this cheating spouse, this betraying friend, this angry father and mother......not perceivable to many. We don't want to love someone hurting us...we want to rip their heads off and see them suffering for their evil deeds.

Well, God doesn't accept those evil deeds either. But because Jesus, all those sins and punishments have been nailed to the cross with Jesus. That is enough for God to bring us back to Him. Isn't that clever?

It makes my heart jump for joy and in the same time, I am very overcome with emotions of gratitude. Oh the sufferings of Jesus......but I am His now. FOREVER! And so are you if you accept Him in His fullness.

He never leaves me....this itself makes up for all the ones that left me hanging in rejection. There is not need for me to have emotions of anger and revenge toward those who have hurt me. He nailed all that to the cross. I am free to love, accept and forgive. What a wonderful concept. PEACE is with me through Jesus.

Peace has always been the thing that I cherished the most. Having lived without peace so many years......well that is a subject for another time.

I pray that all is well with you and me, knowing our God never leaves us. May our days be filled with His love and peace.


Farewell and good bye until next time.
