Trust Him to do what He has entrusted

Few weeks ago, I was really afraid of so many things. What I did was usually running away from the problem, and then sleeping =P Yet, this didn't solve my problem. After contemplating on His Word (James 4), the root problem maybe my self-reliant. I think it's really dangerous XD

13Now listen, you who say, "Today or tomorrow we will go to this or that city, spend a year there, carry on business and make money." 14Why, you do not even know what will happen tomorrow. What is your life? You are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes. 15Instead, you ought to say, "If it is the Lord's will, we will live and do this or that."

Actually, I always organized what I was gonna do in my agenda. Sometimes, it’s really frightening to see my own target, which seemed couldn’t be finished in time. I realized that maybe when making to-do-list in the agenda, I hardly kept in mind, “If it's the Lord's wil...” .

Amazingly, He also reminded me about love from 1 Cor 4 during those “miserable” days.

4Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. 8Love never fails... 13And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.

I know He loves me and has entrusted me many things, which means great responsibility also. That's why I'm afraid of not doing my best. But then, who am I that I can offer the best to Him? It is only God that enables me to do everything that He asked me. Moreover, He really loves me as He died on the cross to save me from my sins. The next question was: "Do I really love my God?" If so, I should have trusted Him. He is the One who leads me, and in control of me. Thus, I'm not supposed to be afraid as long as He is with me.

People may think that being a Christian is full of self-denial

Yet, I have overflowing joy

bcos Jesus has saved me

and He gives Words so I can live according to His will

I thank God for giving me eternal life, His Word, and everything =)
