| | Is God good?I just found this little discussion on my computer and figured I'd post it since I haven't posted in so long. So without anymore delays, here it is!
Is God good all the time? Can He really be trusted? Or do you just trust Him when you don't have to risk anything. Do you trust Him when you crash your car? When your parents die? When you are unjustly punished and abused? Or are you a hypocryte like me, telling everyone that you trust God with all your heart. But what about when the pressure is turned on? Will you be a hypocryte like me? Doubt, unfaithfulness, fear, abandonment, confusion, anger, frustration, complaining, and lying are all characteristics of mine. But I dress them up to look spiritual to try and fool those around me. I think I've even fooled myself. The hypocryte within tells me this isn't really who I am but deep down I'm good and I'm the victim. He screams life is about you, live it as you please. God whispers back leave your life behind so that you may find life in Me; I AM faithful and good. And somehow God's whisper is more powerful then the scream. My heart echoes back God's whisper and wearily drops it's hold of my life. With nothing left to hold on to my heart wants to grab control back. But when I trust God and rely on Him I realize that I didn't have control of my life. My life had control of me. The strings I had attached to my life to control it had instead begun to drag me down and control me. Good God of Heaven, please give me strength to lose my life for you. Work in my heart and transform my mind. Keep me from evil and help me to love as you have loved me. Amen
