Trust Me

Went to a public lecture last night. I must admit I was dozing off in the beginning until the speaker started talking about how when a preacher preaches, what makes the transforming difference in the lives of those he preaches to is the good news of what God has done in this world. At the bottom of it, the spirit is at work through whoever preaches the word of God. He (the speaker) also stated that at the centre of the biblical message God is saying one thing to us, and that is, "Trust Me". I was encouraged and inspired by this. There are a few situations that I am quite fearful of facing, but which I must face, in the near future. I prayed to God tonight, that he would grant me courage and love, and that Christ himself would be there with me when I am feeling scared and alone (and crappy!). The phrase "Trust Me" popped into my head and reminded me that God will not only be with me through it all, but he is able to work out something amazing from all this. Yes, the LORD will make something wonderful out of this, if I put my trust in Him. I think little by little, I really am letting Christ in and placing him at the centre of my life. I walk forward knowing He is by my side always...
