WORDS FROM GOD ABOUT TRUST



Effective immediately, please be aware that there are changes You need to make in Your life. These changes need to be completed in order that I might fulfill My promises to You to grant You peace, joy, and happiness in this life. I apologize for any inconvenience, but after all that I’m doing, this seems very little to ask of You. Please, follow these ten guidelines.



1. LOVE YOURSELF

As much as I love You, how can You not love Yourself? You were created by Me for one reason only – to be loved and to love in return. I am a God of Love. Love Me. Love Your neighbors. But also love Yourself. It makes My heart ache when I see You angry with Yourself when things go wrong. Don’t do that. You are very precious to Me. Don't ever forget. Think of Yourself with a capital “Y.”



2. QUIT WORRYING

Life has dealt You a blow, and all You do is sit and worry. Have You forgotten that I’m here to take all Your burdens and carry them for You? Or do You just enjoy fretting over every little thing that comes Your way? Don’t You know that Your fretting is hurting You?



3. PUT IT ON THE LIST

Something needs to be done or taken care of. Put it on the list. No, not YOUR to-do list. Put it on MY to-do list. Let ME be the one to take care of the problem. I can't help You until You turn it over to Me. And although My to-do-list is long, I am, after all, Your GOD. I can take care of anything You put into My hands. In fact, if the truth were ever really known, I take care of a lot of things for You that You never even realize or think about.



4. TRUST ME

Once You've given Your burdens to Me, quit trying to take them back! Trust in Me. Have the faith that I will take care of all Your needs, Your problems, and Your trials. Problems with the family? Put them on My list. Problem with finances? Put it on My list. Problems with your emotional roller coaster? For My sake, put it on My list so I can handle it. I want to help You. All You have to do is ask.



5. LEAVE IT ALONE

Don't wake up one morning and say, "Well, I'm feeling much stronger now, I think I can handle it from here." Why do You think You’re feeling stronger now? It's simple. You gave Me Your burdens, and I'm taking care of them. I also renew Your strength and cover You in My peace and love. Don't You know that if I gave You these problems back, You would be right back where You started? Leave them with Me and forget about them. What kind of God do You think I am, anyway? Don’t You know I’m the Omnipotent, the All Powerful, the Almighty?



6. TALK TO ME

I want You to forget a lot of things. Forget what was making You crazy. Forget the worry and the fretting, because You know I'm in control. But there's one thing I want You never to forget. Please, don't forget to talk to Me – OFTEN! I love YOU! I want to hear Your voice. I want You to include Me in the things going on in Your life. I want to hear You talk about Your friends and family, Your joys and concerns. Prayer is simply You having a conversation with Me. I want to be Your dearest friend. When You talk to Me, You’re honoring Me in a glorious way.



7. HAVE FAITH

I see a lot of things from up here that You can't see from where You are. Have faith in Me that I know what I'm doing. Trust Me; You wouldn't want the view from My eyes. I’ll continue to care for You, watch over You, and meet Your needs. You only have to trust Me. Although I have a much bigger task than You, it seems as if You have much trouble just doing Your simple part. How hard can trust be? Say it with a smile, “I trust in My God.” Say it over and over, until the words will never leave You.



8. SHARE

You were taught to share when You were only two years old. When did You forget? That rule still applies. Share with those who are less fortunate than You. Share Your joy with those who need encouragement. Share Your laughter with those who haven't heard any in such a long time. Share Your tears with those who have forgotten how to cry. Share Your faith with those who have none. Think of a few people You know who are good examples of this kind of sharing. Can You not see Me in Their lives?



9. BE PATIENT

I managed to create life so that in just one lifetime You could have many diverse experiences. You grow from a child to an adult, have children, change jobs many times, learn many skills, travel to many places, meet thousands of people, and experience so much. How can You be so impatient then when it takes Me a little longer than You expect to handle something on My to-do-list? Trust in My timing, for My timing is perfect. Just because I created the entire universe in only six days, everyone thinks I should always rush…rush…rush.



10. BE KIND

Be kind to Others, for I love Them just as much as I love You. Others may not dress like You, or talk like You, or live the same way You do, but I still love All of You. Please try to get along, for My sake. I created Each of You different in some way. It would be too boring if You were All identical. Please, know I love each of Your differences.
