One day the realization that I did not fully trust God with my life hit me like a ton of bricks. I was exposed as an imposter. My life was flashed before me like a bad movie. The main character was self: self-centered, self-control, self-reliance, self-absorbed, and selfishness.
At that moment my spirit hit rock bottom. The truth had awaken me from that terrible dream of living in false trust. It had been a trust I believed I had only when I felt I had some level of control in regards to my health, my family, my job, and my finances. After all, I ate right and exercised. I spent quality time with my family. I went to work on time. I received my paycheck every two weeks.
I really just never took the time to examine my level of trust in God. I am ashamed to admit that though I quoted Proverbs 3:5, I did not practice it. I was a Christian that walked by sight, not by faith.
When the Holy Spirit convicted me of this truth, I became as one in deep mourning. I mourned over my betrayal of trusting Christ totally and completely with every part of my life, good or bad.
Now I am on a quest to put my trust in him, not because I’m now in a place where I have to, but because I want to please him and experience the fullness of joy in placing my life totally in his hands.
If you died today, are you absolutely certain that you would go to heaven? You can be! TRUST JESUS NOW
