I read something that really made me think last night...I am now onto Stephen E Robinson's 2nd book Following Christ (thank you Julia!!) and it is as amazing as the first one! I am not on commission (lol) but seriously these books will change your life...you have to read them!
Anyway he was talking about trusting in the Saviour. In the pre-exsitence we trusted Jesus Christ so much that we were willing to come down here to earth, knowing that if He didn't do what He said He would do, we were in REAL trouble. We would never make it back home again!! BUT we knew the Saviour and we trusted Him enough, we knew He wouldn't let us down. That is some amount of faith isnt it?
So why do we struggle so much now? If only we could just believe and trust that He has ALWAYS done what He said He will do - not once has He let us down and He is not going to now. He went through the most immense pain and trauma and distress for me and for you, so He will not let us down now, no way. How we must have rejoiced that the plan was complete and we could one day come home again!
What a tender mercy that is :-) To have the sure knowledge of a Saviour who is always there. I trusted Him before, I will trust Him now.
On smaller mercies....a wonderful visit from my VT together with chocolate cake, a task at work which was just perfect for me on a very tired day, a crafty evening and an evening with my little Beaver Scouts to look forward at Pets R Home!! Yay...life is happy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
