I used to try to lug around Jesus. Now I see He carries me.
"Throughout your entire journey, until you reached this very place, the Lord your God has carried you just as a parent carries a child."
Deut. 1:31 (CEB)
I used to try to get myself closer to Him or seek to keep Him close.
Now I see He is with me, never to leave.
I used to try to maintain my Christian life and my faith.
Now I see He maintains all in me.
I used to try to keep myself from falling.
Now I see He keeps me.
I used to think this life was all up to me.
Now I see it's all up to Him.
I used to feel so alone in my problems.
Now I see He's with me to handle all my problems.
I used to try so hard to pry my eyes off the storm and onto Jesus.
Now I see He by grace pulls my gaze to Him.
I used to try so hard to get over all my struggles.
Now I see He HAS overcome for me and will manifest that victory.
I used to try to do it all.
Now I see I can trust Him to do it all.
I used to try to walk on the water by myself, all alone.
Now He holds my hand and we walk over the waves together!
A Thought: God takes care of everything.
