At the beginning of this year, I heard Papa tell me that he was taking me to a place where my trust would be without borders. There have been many times in this season where I have sat back and said, "Yeesh! God, you weren't kidding!" I have lost count of the number of times that I have looked to my Father and said, "I trust you, that's all I can do here".
Here I sit again.
I don't know what you are doing, but I trust you.
A belief that someone or something is reliable, good, honest, effective, etc.
An assured reliance on the character, ability, strength, or truth of someone or something
One in which confidence is placed
Dependence on something future or contingent: Hope
A charge or duty imposed in faith or confidence or as a condition of some relationship
Something committed or entrusted to one to be used r cared for in the interest of another
Care, custody
I do not doubt the goodness of my Father.
Not too long ago I did. I knew He was good, but my heart was overwhelmed and I grew afraid and doubted, as Peter did when he saw the waves. I feared and panicked as the disciples did when their little boat was taking on water and the Master was sleeping peacefully.
But I have seen time and time again the faithfulness of God. I have looked upon the the faithfulness of a really good dad. So while I do not know what He is doing or how He is going to provide in this situation, I know that he will provide. I know that He can be trusted.
I do not regret a single step I have taken with my Father.
I do not regret a single time that I have trusted.
That I have relied.
That I have depended.
That I have said "yes".
I will say "yes" every day for the rest of my life.
No matter the circumstances.
No matter the sacrifice.
No matter what fear hangs over me.
No matter what popular opinion screams.
No matter what peers think.
No matter what family says.
I will say "yes" to my King because He cannot fail.
He is the only one who truly has my best interest in heart.
I have nothing to offer Him.
He does not benefit from anything that I do.
He has no selfish ambition.
He truly, completely wants my good.
My good brings Him glory.
Me thriving glorifies Him and points to His goodness and faithfulness.
My trust has no borders. There is nothing limiting it or enclosing it in. I trust Him in all areas.
I am a zero resistance zone to His work in my life.
The Holy Spirit lives inside of me.
The Holy Spirit never doubts the goodness and faithfulness of God.
The Spirit inside of me trusts wholly.
I trust wholly.
I have seen His goodness in the land of the living (time and time again).
He doesn't change. Yesterday, today, and forever- He is the same.
Since He came through last time, He will come through again.
Since He was faithful last month when I needed a roommate, He will be faithful this month.
Since He provided when I needed a job in April, He will provide again.
Since He answered when I has no where else to turn, He will answer again.
My God does not change.
Here I sit again.
Abba, I trust you.
I don't know what you are doing, but I trust you.

A hope is more than resolve, and it is based on trust in a divine faithfulness that operates not only within history, but also beyond history.-John PolkinghorneI told Abba that I trusted wholly and completely. Tonight I sit here and that "Yes" to Him echoes. It rings loudly and clearly in my heart. I declare it loud and proud once again. YES.

That I have relied.
That I have depended.
That I have said "yes".
He has never once let me down.
He has never once failed to come through.
He has never left me unsatisfied.
Empty.
Lacking.
Wanting.
Alone.
He always comes through.
He always amazes.
He always is faithful.
He never gets tired of providing.
He never gets bored with me.
He never refuses to come through.
He never breaks a promise.
I will say "yes" every day for the rest of my life.
No matter the circumstances.
No matter the sacrifice.
No matter what fear hangs over me.
No matter what popular opinion screams.

Financially.
Emotionally.
Physically.
Relationally.
I am a zero resistance zone to His work in my life.
How can I trust Him in this way?
How can you trust Him in this way?
The Holy Spirit never doubts the goodness and faithfulness of God.

My God does not change.
My God does not fail.
My God does not disappoint.
My God rests in the middle of storms.
I will join Him on that pillow below deck. I can hear the wind and the waves pummeling my ship; so I think it's time for a nap.
The only storms you have authority over are the ones that you can rest in.
