Where Is Love Taking You Today? How Do You Lay It All Down and Just Trust?

What is it you are looking for?   In your search.....what is it that you are seeking?   Is it God?   Is it His will.....His purpose.....His plan?   Or is it your desires and your wants being fulfilled?    We have to get to a place where God's plan outweighs our desires.    Where His joy and His peace outweighs everything else in our lives.  

We all have the desire to be in a place of stability.   A place where turmoil ceases and God's power arises.    A place where we don't worry about the day to day stuff anymore.   Where we just trust God.   Where we just believe God.   Where we just walk with and in God.    That's where God wants us to be.   He wants us in that place of knowing.   Knowing that He has it all under control.    A place where we cease from worrying and just rest in knowing.    The question is how do you get there?

How do you lay it all down and just trust?   How do we let go and let God?   Let go of what we want and live in what God wants to do in us and for us.     How do we get there?   It's through God's love.   God's love is a river.   It is the river that we must ride on to get to where God is taking us.  There is no other avenue.    It is only by His love for us, in us, and through us that we get to our place of destination.

God's love helps us to understand that every need is met.   It is His love that teaches us that we can trust Him.   It is in and by His love that we come to the realization that He will never leave us nor forsake us.   Love covers it all.   Love is the foundation of everything else that we need, hope, and desire.  

Follow the path of love.   Put your trust in the love relationship.   The relationship that says .... I will never leave you nor forsake you.   The relationship that says whatever is going on in your life matters.   When you love someone.....your concern is genuine.   That's how God feels about us.   He has a genuine concern about everything that is going on in our lives.   He's not overlooking anything.   He's not turning His back on us.   Instead He is waiting on us to understand His love for us and to follow the path that His love is taking us.    Understand the path always leads to Him.   Also understand that in Him is peace, joy, healing, protection, provision, and whatever else is needed for your life to be complete.

Lynn, this message is so true and timely. With Christmas right around the corner our hearts should be bursting with the Love and Joy of GOD for all that HE has done, is doing and will be doing for us!!! If we could only comprehend the depth of Love HE has for us we would certainly "walk" in the Love Walk everyday of our lives. Everything is ours for the asking. Praise God's Holy Name.

In the midst of all the trials that come with life, what do you do when you don’t know what to do?   Do you quit?   Do you give in?   Do you...
