Day 26: Stillness Of Trust

HE LIVES IN ME,

so I LIVE IN HIM.

I can't get away from HIM,

because HE won't leave me.

Others may come and go,

but MY JESUS always stays

because HIS FATHER told me so

and told you so~

"I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish;

no one will snatch them out of MY hand" (John 10:28).

Only because

JESUS left the tomb

so HE WILL LIVE

 in you & me & everyone else

 who

LIVES IN HIM.

It is mind boggling at times,

as it is so simple yet it is so complicated

to understand fully,

but that is why we

don't "lean on our own understanding" (Proverbs 3)

because

“For MY thoughts are not your thoughts,

Nor are your ways MY ways,” declares the LORD.

“For as the heavens are higher than the earth,

So are MY ways higher than your ways

And MY thoughts higher than your thoughts" (Isaiah 55:8-9).

Why would GOD be mindful of you and I?

Because who creates someone who

HE doesn't want to be mindful about.

If GOD,

whose thoughts we can not comprehend,

then why try to figure "it" all out

and instead just

BELIEVE

and

RECEIVE

and LIVE IN HIM,

so that HE shines from our being.

So your LIFE becomes all about HIM.

And if it is all about HIM

then you

RUN THE RACE

with

THE PEACE that transcends all understanding

and

THE HOPE that transcends all understanding

and

THE JOY that transcends all understanding

because

HIS LOVE transcends all understanding.

And then the RACE becomes a peaceful jog

that takes in every moment

because

RUNNING with JESUS

produces

the STILLNESS OF TRUST

that moves your legs

one step at a time

and

enjoying every step

because every step

is another step closer

into the mind of

GOD.

For you are in GOD'S mind.

Oh so close.

Never to be removed.

For your name is written in heaven

the moment you simply

BELIEVE,

so that JESUS is written on your heart.

Therefore,

let's keep

RUNNING THE RACE

that is before us,

with our eyes peeled on the

FINISH LINE~

JESUS,

who is before us

and behind us

and in~between.

What do you have to lose?

NOTHING

because IN HIM we have it all.

So will you join me~

"Following HIM where HE calls me to go.

And RUNNING THIS RACE

knowing I'm RUNNING home.

Every day of my life.

That's why I'm fixing my eyes on a heavenly prize.

So if anyone asks,

that's

MY WHY"*
