How God’s Love Changes Us Part 3
GOD’S LOVE HELPS US TRUST When my son was about 3 years old he was on the bed jumping and having fun, as I entered into the room he suddenly leaped into the air expecting me to catch him. I was so scared. What if I hadn’t noticed him? What if I had failed to catch him? The little lad gave no thought to those possibilities. In his mind, I was Daddy and Daddy can’t fail to catch me. I still keep thanking God that I had caught him. That was trust! He believed that I loved him so well I couldn’t let him fall. And indeed, he was right. I threw away whatever it was I was holding and caught my bundle of joy right in the air. Similarly, a vivid picture of God’s love helps us to trust Him more. As we meditate on the Father’s unfailing love, our faith grows and our trust glows. We can leap into the air and be sure He will catch us. We can be confident that He is never weary and He will not let us fall. But I have trusted in your steadfast love; my heart shall rejoice in your salvation.Psalm 13:5 (ESV) Job was so certain of the love of God that in the midst of his crisis he declared his unflinching trust in Him. Though he slay me, yet will I trust in him: but I will maintain mine own ways before him. Job 13:15 Like Abraham, David and Daniel, we must develop a strong confidence in the love of God. He loves me so much, He wouldn’t let me fall. Even if I do fall, His arms are strong enough to catch me. Meditate on His love, trust becomes easy.
