Love and trust are the one thing that everyone yearns for yet are paralyzingly scared to show. You really can't have one without the other. Yet both are the very thing we lack greatly. No one is fully trustworthy tho we strive to be, and no one truly loves unconditionally. But God commands us to love as he loved. He sacrificed, he sees the grimy,filthy stuff of our real selves and still loves us the same. He also says if we abide in him we are to love others the same way. I have no answer to this difficult concept other then Run to Jesus! He will not command us to do anything he will not empower us to do. Let his love control you.
We love ourselves so much more than God and other people. That is why we can't trust. Instead of suffer wrong for the sake of someone else possibly benefiting we allow them to suffer so we wont have to hurt. This is everything else but the gospel. Christ love is selfless and not emotionally based but it is passionately driven. My loveliness, or wonderful personality did not motivate Christ to go to the cross. It was my brokenness, helpless state, misery, and emptiness. Forget the fantasy of evading hurt, even Jesus learned obedience through the things he suffered. Every heartbreak and disappointment has to go through God first. So let's love,serve and sacrifice as we lean on Jesus.

Man! God really uses ppl and relationships to bring out the mess in your own heart! And you can't really blame them either they are just instruments in the Redeemer's hands. At the end of the day you got to deal with your own heart issues and make no provision for the flesh to rise. #forgiventoforgive
Ok so I get today makes some people really sad and/or mad. There is a reality some ppl never knew their dad or any male figure to show them any love or care. Or they could have been taken advantage of by the one they trusted. I know it hurts, deep but I have known a FATHER that will never leave or forsake me. I have experienced a love that no earthly man could ever give. He has been my protector, defender, lover of my soul, and provider. We are still here, yes broken, but he repairs and heals. He will never lie to you or use you. Get to know him! #tryJesus

Just let it go!
I'm letting go of the plans I have for me and my dreams.
I really never knew surrender could be so sweet, so freeing until God had to remind me of the fact that my own ways had me bound in sin and left me for dead.
He freed me, not to burden me nor to hurt me but so that I could experience true life, and that is to know Him, the one and only true and living God, and Jesus Christ his son. Whatever he got to remove to do that he will! #Selah
Consider this:The real issue is not with your job, or with how you look, the statistics or what Oprah or your momma said. The real issue is God! His purpose is greater then our desires that are meager at best compared to what he has in store for us. Now if I can just get my emotions to believe this! #lifelessons
