I like this. It’s some of the things I have been learning. My younger self would be terrified at this statement: I am unsure of so many things except for Christ. I am very sure of Him. And that’s where the peace is. Not getting everything right but staying right next to Him.
Sorry it’s taken so long to respond to this, Britt. I echo your words: younger me would have been terrified of that statement, too. Sometimes, current me still is. ♥️
In a very different way, relating to my own experience of OCD and overthinking, Jesus has been saying to me "pray for a revelation of my love". I really feel that I must do everything in His love. When I think of His love, when I allow myself to unfurl in the revelation that I am loved and profoundly safe in His love, and in the knowledge that ALL things bow down to His authority, I feel braver and my inner chatter grows quieter. I know it's a totally different thing you're going through, but it just seemed to resonate - focus on Jesus. Look To Him. Let Him lead in you as you lean on His arm. We try so hard to do things FOR Him, or show how strong we are in our faith, but it's like we try to do it independent of Him. The truth is, we can do nothing without Him. Keep leaning friend - don't look to your own wisdom pray for His.
Amen, friend. In all things, looking to Him is the only solution. I think you would REALLY love Gentle and Lowly by Dane Ortland. It’s been an absolutely stunning invitation to experience a revelation of Christ’s love.
