Today wasn't bad! I was sobered at school of the sword, Heard a great message from Gayle Erwin, went to the Milans house were we met the Lopez's and Farell family's. (Pastor Patrick wife and daughter for those of you who don't know) The Lord taught me something cool today! TRUST! Little Nick Lopez is still a little scared to fully be in the water by himself. He likes to stay on the stairs and play where he knows he can stand. I got him off of the stairs, but he held onto me tight. I told him,"I will not let go of you. Your safe. I wont let you sink. TRUST ME." The more and more that I assured him the calmer he became. After about a good forty five minutes of holding him i grabbed his arms and even with his protests held onto only his arms instead of his whole body. He was scared. But I told him,"Nick, look me in the eyes. I will not let you sink. I wont let go. TRUST ME." I got him to the point of where I really wasnt holding Him anymore and He was holding onto my arm, but just to know i was there.
When God is calling us to do something we are scared. We want to stay on the edge of the pool, comfortable. Getting our feet wet. But He will sometimes grab us and say,"I will not let go. I will not let you fall. TRUST ME." He will put us into a position that feels even more uncomfortable, but He will be there saying,"Look at me! I will not let you fall. TRUST ME."
Psalm 37:23-24. Read that passage. Goes great with this. It hit me a few days ago. But now it has new meaning.
Go with God and TRUST HIM! He wont let go!!!
