Between trying to protect ourselves and guarding our hearts.
When I guard my heart, I guard against sin.
When I protect myself, I protect from pain.
I try to control. I don't trust God. I don't trust that even if He chooses to bring pain, He will comfort me in it and carry me.
When we put our TRUST IN God, and commit our way to Him...He acts. He is our Protector and our Shield. And He is worthy of our trust.
This, I am learning in a new and glorious way as God has been revealing different areas of deep-rooted fear I didn't know existed. A desire to control. Figure out. Manipulate. Have an answer for.
Nope. Surrender is the only option. Well, other than misery.
Rejoicing at what the Gospel reveals about the heart and character of God...and loving that it never changes.
Ever.
