Learning to Trust God
When I became a Christian, trust was a big challenge for me. I had difficulty trusting God and myself. To save my marriage and family, I decided to let go of control and rely on God. I hoped He would help me overcome my self-destructive tendencies. Thankfully, when I surrendered, God showed me immense love. I could only respond with sincere gratitude. Although I struggled to express it, He understood that I desired to love Him.
I had never met someone who was willing to give up everything for me and carry my troubles, all for a simple “Thank You.” Accepting Jesus’ sacrifice was simple, but understanding how He could carry my burdens was difficult. I took a step forward in faith, hoping that my inner struggle would eventually be resolved. With the help of the Holy Spirit, I was able to face each problem one by one. Through God, I found the strength to stay true to His teachings and give up my burdens, even though I sometimes felt tempted to take them back.
Over time, my gratitude grew into fondness and then into genuine love. A crucial lesson I learned is that during life’s storms, it can be hard to see God by your side. But it was often in those stressful moments that God worked deeply in my heart. Remember, you are not alone. God is faithful to those who call on Him and sincerely seek His purpose.
