Truth
In His words are truth.
How could you have doubted that?
I didnt. Not really. But I never really expected them to apply to me. To know and accept in the global sense is one thing, but to have such personal response is something else again.
But it still is not easy.
No. To lay the burden at the foot is one thing. To leave it there is another. I carried this willingly for so long the weight is part of me. Though there is relief and gladness in the lightness, there is also a patch that is gone. Not empty, for that would imply longing to have it back, but I am aware of the absence. And in that there is the wonder if I am just kidding myself.
You can trust the word.
That I know. But just how much can I trust myself? How many times have I lain this burden aside, thrown it down, hurled abuse at it? To what end? To not really relieve myself, to keep it to me.
What you have done this time, you have not done before.
But will it be enough? In the word, promise to me, certainly, of that there is no doubt. Especially you, dear angel, created as you and all were by the word, know the truth and power of that. I have called and been heard, told to lay my burden down. I have seen and felt answer in events that have occured this past week. But when and how will I know that salvation is mine? How many times will I have to give this over? He must have despaired of me but I feel the love. Or why else would there have been solution which meant that I could lay my burden down? How can I be worthy?
His patience, like Him, is eternal. Trust.
And pray that there will come a time where I no longer need to keep laying this at His feet. Thank God for the Cross.
Amen to that.
