Trust

I have really been digging Lee McDerment's CD. My favorite song has to be (thus far) "Our God Is Love". My favorite line in that song is :

"You are bigger than we let you be. You are strong enough to set us free."

I have been reading a book called True Faced. I highly recommend it. It really deals with trusting God, particularly as it relates to who He says we are in light of what Jesus has done. It really is an incredible book that will set you free from the bondage of religious spirituality, and move you to basking in the unmerited grace of Jesus. Jesus said: "If you abide in my word, then you are truly my disciples. Then you will know the TRUTH and the TRUTH will set you FREE."

Abiding is trusting, not doing. It is trusting in the words of Jesus and trusting that what He has said about me is TRUE. And that TRUTH sets me FREE! Jesus really is, as Lee sings, "strong enough to set me free", and indeed He has. I must trust Him. Lee closes out his song with a great Hymn.

"Tis so sweet to TRUST in Jesus. Just to take Him at His Word."
