Choosing to Trust Me

#26     Aug. 18, 2012, 7:45am. Sat. before my walk

Sit quietly, be patient.  Do not try to rush My thoughts. Be still, let nothing trouble you.  Know that My presence in your life is all that you will ever need.

Do not be discouraged. Be tranquil. Be gentle, kind and very, very patient as I am.

Still any other thoughts.  Rely only on Me and what I want to say to you.

I am not anxious for you. I do not trouble myself over small details.  Yes they may seem large to you but see them through My eyes and your perspective will change.  Do not try to arrange your life, let me do that for you.  I am most ready and willing to do that for you. 

My plans are not your plans and rest calmly in that knowledge.  Put aside all else and abide, rest in Me.  Let nothing external creep into you and make you upset or anxious.  That all comes from the evil one.   With Me you will always be at peace.

Unfurl your heart and let it fly in the breeze.  Let it flutter before Me.  Let your heart be open to any and all change knowing that My hand is on it all. 

Remove, no, willingly ask Me to remove from your heart all that fogs you, all that sets you apart from Me.  Do not let anything take root in your heart that is not from Me.  Quietly rid yourself of all thought that does not lead to Me.  It is not easy because we like to mull things over.  But to what avail?

Give it all each day to Me and I will sort out what  may appear to be a very mixed-up puzzle.  Let Me help you make proper sense of life.

Sit with Me and allow My sense of right and wrong to creep into every cell. Let it run through your veins, let it fill your heart.  The blood that courses through your body, as I created it to do, needs the nourishment of Truth.  Truth in all cases, in all circumstances.  Bring in Truth and dispel all darkness.

Let not your hearts be troubled.  Stay as one with the Lord of all peace and calm.

So when any stress affronts you, give it instantly to Me.  Stop what you are doing and hand it over to Me.  You are the one who makes stress of situations.  It is how you  interpret the world around you that stresses you.  If you could only see My hand in ALL that comes into your life, you would accept it not as stress but as another opportunity to grow closer to Me and My ways.  Even when it seems so off the wall – my hand is on it.  I either permit it to happen or I cause it to happen.  It may seem cruel in your eyes however in the scope of eternity it is not. 

I know this rocks your soul because you think of all the  tragedies and horror things that happen to people and you can’t see My love in these actions.  Yet it is there to its fullest, because My ways are not your ways.  It is hard to grasp, I know, however I sincerely ask you that each time you hear about a tragedy, immediately put Me front and centre in the tragedy with My enormous love which cares for ALL, which comforts ALL, which abides in ALL, which saves ALL.

Everyone is saved.  Everyone.  That is what I did from the Cross.  Now everyone does not want to be saved and that is the difference.  They sometimes do not choose Me and that is the freedom I have given them as a human being.  That is the freedom I am offering you.  The freedom to choose to see My hand in all circumstances. 

You see it is just not choosing between good and bad, but choosing Me, choosing to love Me, to depend on Me, to trust Me – in ALL circumstances.

To choose to still trust Me even when all seems lost, when the darkness envelopes us.  That is deep, deep choice – to trust even in the midst of tragedy – that is recognition that even if you do not get the reason for such pain and hurt and devastation, you still trust in Me.

You develop this trust by appointing Me in charge of all circumstances. I do not wait for you to appoint Me, but when you say “Lord your hand is on this circumstance too”, you will gradually build up your trust in Me.  So apply My name to all that happens – “Jesus I acknowledge that you are in charge of it ALL.”

Now go walking and see Me in all as you pass people, trees, bushes, cats, clouds, wind.  See Me in all and trust that I am in all.
