What If???

Not to be completely pessimistic, but, seriously, what if?

I mean, what if whatever trial you may be in is, well, as good as it's gonna get?

Ok, this IS going somewhere.

And it is positive.

It's just that,... well, what if's seem to be something I've always struggled with when I'm going through a trial.

"What if - - - ...." Blah, blah, blah, to be honest.

Sometimes I think we waste a lot of time where we should be learning in our storms on what-if-ing what could happen in it. That's just me. Either way, I have come to realize some things this last month. What-if-ing God is most definitely not TRUSTING GOD. I learned I needed to let go of things I was worried about and just give it to Him. I don't control the future anyways, and so what happens in the future is not my burden to bear-- it's Christ's. Sometimes He wants us to just Trust Him, not knowing exactly what the future holds. "I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now." -John 16:12. This was a verse God really brought to my mind in that area and revealed to me that sometimes there IS more to the story then what's on the page right now,...but "hold on, sweetie, that's MY burden, that's not for you to know. I'll reveal what I want to tell you in the time I am to reveal it... so quit questioning, and asking 'what if'. Trust Me, Child."  Trust. That's the bottom line. He IS the Creator of the world, and the One who holds your heart... He knows. And on an ok "what-if" basis...

What if things don't actually go the way you were hoping?

Hm?

Is He still God anyways?

Yup.

At least, last time I checked, it didn't matter what we were going through for God to be, well,... God.

And a Loving God Who works all, yes ALL to our GOOD... He knows what He's doing. Even if your what-if's become reality, He's still God. He's still there. Still in Control. And maybe He will turn the tables to your favor, if you will, if you Trust Him.

Just sayin'.....

So quit what-if-ing everything.

Trust me, I'm still working on it myself.

But I'm learning to Trust Him through it.

What about you?

What if you decided to just Trust Him???

What if?

Love always,
