“Following Jesus and Loving People”

 

It always comes back to trust. Living every day with all its pressures, deadlines, and limitations so easily and naturally produces anxiety. We all know what it’s like to lie awake at night trying to “figure it out.” I am discovering that most    answers do come…but not always when I want them. I think of the gap between my need for answers and the visible results for answers as “the faith gap.” To overcome debilitating stress, I must learn to trust in the person of Jesus even more than the outward blessings of Jesus.

It was during a special meal with his disciples that Jesus announced some   ominous events which surfaced some anxious questions in the hearts of his followers. “Who would betray him…why would he have to suffer…why did he speak of leaving”? Knowing their stress, Jesus spoke these amazing words, “Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God; trust also in me. In my Father’s house are many rooms; if it were not so, I would have told you. I am going there to prepare a place for you” (John 14:1-2). From this episode I come to realize that Jesus doesn’t “owe us” answers. We must learn the spiritual “secret” of  being content with his awesome presence and truly believe that he understands our situation, and provides all the grace and power we will ever need. Jesus is enough. I want to get over the gap from my need to seeing the answers, but often the time frame is beyond my control. Will we learn to trust, or give in to an anxious, fretting spirit. Faith is available. God will give; we must ask.
