Steadfast Love

(It has been quite sometime since i have been on here, but i expected that..However, it is my hope to rekindle my love for writing and start using this blog more often.)

Steadfast: “firmly fixed in one place”

        

       I have been thinking about this word quite often recently, and more specifically about how it relates to my walk with God.  God’s plans that he has for us are “firmly fixed.” I don’t know about you, but it is so easy for me to become overloaded with stress due to me worrying about my future or even my present situations. But something I am gradually beginning to understand and come to terms with, is that MY future, YOUR future is firmly fixed in place by our precious father Jesus. And I here I am, losing it and becoming so uptight over something I am completely helpless over.  

       

        Why do I do that? Why as humans is it our first tendency to freak out when we lose control? I could be wrong here, but maybe, just maybe it’s because it takes humility to admit that we cannot control everything.  It would mean giving up my pride, and falling at the feet of Jesus saying “Ok Jesus, your right I can’t do ANYTHING about it, I am COMPELTY helpless…” Wow, humbling indeed.  

       

       I think once we finally reach that place, instead of feeling ashamed in front of Christ we will feel a huge burden lifted off our shoulders.  Imagine laying at the feet of Christ engulfed by his embrace while he whispers to you “My beautiful child, “I know the plans I have for you, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”  (Jeremiah 29:11) We have a steadfast God, and we can rest soundly in his steadfast love.
