What makes God Smile - its seems to always go back to the same thing trust and love him. How wonderful was Noah, can you even imagine having the guts to follow the instructions God gave him. I always think about how brave Virgin Mary and Jospeh were when they found out she was pregnant. She had to have so much faith to be believe that she was going to have this child even though she was a virgin. What about Joseph trusting in God enough that he never doubted her to think it was truly on God's child she was carrying. Complete trust in him. I know inside that he knows all yet I have such a tough time just turning things over to him and allowing him to handle.
Being sick forced me to trust him in ways that I didn't even know where possible. There where nights of such anguish just because I had no control of what was going to happen to me. I always begged god to talk to me or show me he was there. He did and I'm so grateful he even showed me in ways that I would know it was him. Cancer taught me to trust eventhough you have no control. So yes trust him with everything and never stop trusting him. There are so many times that I need to remind myself of what makes God Smiles. Trusting and loving him completely "Love the Lord your God with all you heart and with all your soul and with all your mind." Trusting God completely means having faith that he knows what is best for you life.
I'm smiling right now because I know that God is smiling at me because I'm thinking of him..crazy huh? I really enjoyed this chapter because it touches on a point close to my heart which is love and how I feel such a desire to be loved. I often always think of being in love and how I'm not ever ever fulfilled. I yearn for deep, intimate love so I try to fill that void with my husband and kids and although I know they do love me, it's just not enough for me. I know God is tugging at my heart and trying to reveal his overflowing abundance of love but I have this barrier which is keeping me from experiencing it. Trusting God is something that keeps me sane on a day to day basis. I know and beleive 100% God will take care of his people. I want to obey him wholeheartedly but I just can't seem to do it, not matter how hard I try. I always seem to fail. But this I do know, God always forgives and offers a fresh start. Areas in my life where I need to trust him the most are finances, relationships and work. Thanks again Ladies for all your comments, I'm praying for each and everyone one you. Love ya!
The part that really stuck out from this chapter was when he discusses obeying God wholeheartedly. What? OMG that is so me I do what I want to do and do not dive into it full force. He says you read the bible but won't forgive someone that hurt you. I totally get that and I think we all do this all the time. We cannot have one foot in and the other out in our faith. We have to trust, love, and obey him wholeheartedly. I also, enjoyed reading the part where he talks about how God loves watching us sleep. I can relate because I am a mother now and know how that feels. This book constantly remindes me of how much God Loves me!
