If you have a difficult time trusting God. This post is with you in mind. I have been there and I really want to reach out to you and share what I've learned in my journey to trust ability. Our ability to trust God is directly related to our experience with earthly authority figures. We unwittingly project the failures of various earthly leaders onto God and we set up walls to keep us from feeling vulnerable. These walls will keep us from closeness with God.

This bliss-filled, sinful life will never be the case for those of us who have experienced a trusting, loving relationship with God through Christ Jesus. We have been made alive, therefore we feel.  Willful sin then might be comparabl...
