"Can you trust Me in this? Can you trust Me through this?" The questions ringing in my ears like that of church bells letting all the neighbors know what time it is.
When you live a life with the spiritual gift of discernment you tend to live a life more submitted to the Holy Spirit. I just didn't think I would be having as many conversations with Him as of late. As life comes you find yourself calling on different parts of the trinity at different times.
Yesterday I called upon my Abba Father as I prayed weeping on my knees while casting my requests at His feet. Today I pray to the Holy Spirit for intervention, relief and peace. Tomorrow I may run and find refuge in Jesus' la[ again as life in an instant could become overwhelming.
How easily we bend to our own control and operate out of a place of fear rather than a place of trust and walking by faith. How easily that can send us spiraling farther away from God rather than drawing into Him. And when we are operating out of a place of fear and control are we really enjoying the blessings that we have been given?
Submission, repentance and humility is where I long to operate out of each moment. Perfection is not something to be attained but that does not mean we cannot strive to be more like Jesus each day.
May I live a life of faith like that of Ester with the patience of Ruth and the gentleness of Mary.
May I be the best Brittany so that on that day I may hear "Well done good and faithful servant..."
