Trust is a very difficult idea to build in a relationship. It is a time stamped process built around a slow growth of belief that someone is who they say they are. 

Jesus’ character has been misrepresented on so often a case that people being believing the deceptions of Him, rather than the Truths of Him. The antidote, to present the Truth of our Lord Jesus Christ in hopes to “clear up” the misrepresentations of Who HE really is for us in our lives.

So far, I have spoken of the Lord Jesus Christ being our Life, our Light, and now we are speaking of His being our Truth. Yesterday we talked over the level of deceit that many of us have lived under in our lives. Powerful lies that have recycled within our minds as we strive to live out life. Thoughts that often defeat us well before we even begin to live.

Trials and troubles raise their heads within our lives many times. Many of us have spent years letting each of these derail us at their onset.  But in Christ, we are being offered Promises that are life altering to our thinking. The Truths of Jesus Christ are the beautiful promises of Who He is for us.

 -Promises that He makes Perfect our Weaknesses (2 Corinthians 12:9) Times when it seems that the only “truth” rushing to meet our thinking are all the frailties of this physical life, Times when more Fear lives within me than Faith, Times when the evidence that surrounds me seem far more convincing than believing….these times and millions more are times where our Lord Jesus Christ is stepping in and perfecting our weaknesses.  When you are no more than a pile of broken dreams, hopes ,and wishes…please realize it is in our weakest states that Jesus’ strength is being offered as a backbone to our brokenness. Instead of beating yourself up that you don’t feel all the strength you are hoping to within every moment of life, come to the feet of Christ and pray. It is HE who perfects our Faith. He offers not a hand of judgment, but rather a heart of compassion.

-Jesus Christ is our Daily bread (John 6:48) We are being invited to sit at the table with the Lord and dine more on His love and Promises than we do the daily dolling of painful thoughts of life’s lies. I remember when my children we young. They would be readily accepting of food offered until they reached a point of being “full”. Their bellies so content that there was no need for further nutrients.  We too must live ready to dine only on the love, comfort and promises our Lord and then once filled up on Him, be ready to set out to take the day on.  Why be full of the Lord? So that when the lies of life come to offer their falsehoods as something for us to feed on, we have no room to eat of them.  We too, just as my children would do, push the spoon being offered away and shake our heads.  The longer we allow Jesus Christ to be the one who feeds us, the more readily we will come to see that the lies of this world offer no sustenance to our lives. This is a daily journey and one that Christ Jesus is willing to walk with you.

Tomorrow we will continue to learn of the truths that Christ is for our lives by exploring both his promises and the actions that He takes within our lives. I pray that you are blessed by the words shared with you in this blog. I pray your evening is a good one.
