Did I tell you that? How many of my own words do I need to eat? " But—Lord— You KNOW ME! I can’t do that!" I am whining. I know it and He knows it. Can’t seem to stop myself though. He leans over and whispers... "I’m not asking YOU to do it. I will do it. All I want from you is an open heart and mouth."
I am humbled. Tears swell and fall. "Okay Lord." I should have known.
Total insecurity in me...and fully relying on Him.
Isn’t that where He wants us all to be? Fully—Relying—On—God. F.R.O.G.
I think of that every time I see a frog. Can’t help myself. I feel like a hopping toad at times. He causes me to realize where all my strength lies. At the foot of the cross. Without the cross...I wouldn’t be here today.
What are you balking at today where He wants you to submit?
Are you backing up a bit–thinking you can’t? When He says, through Me, You can do all things.- an excerpt from Internet Cafe Devotions
