Trust is All or Nothing

By

Trust



I entered God's throne and felt naked. 
I look up to ask him my question, but before a sound could leave my mouth He says to me, 
"Do you trust Me?"
In my confusion, I cannot speak as I try to make sense of His question. 

Again, He asks 
"Do you trust Me?" 
This time with more emphasis. 

Still, I look at Him and as a vision I see all of my troubles I wanted Him to remove. 

Again, He says 
"Do you trust Me?"

At that moment all of my troubles and anxieties were removed and I saw my life without obstacles, and I felt distant, alone and surrounded by darkness. Fear filled my heart, for my Lord God was nowhere to be seen. 

Before I could shout out I heard His voice once more, 
"Do you trust Me?"

I looked up and was filled, comforted and embraced with His light. I opened my mouth to respond, but before I could utter a sound, I saw my life filled with troubles, difficult decisions and anxious moments. This time I felt strong, happy, comforted and confident. With patience and understanding that can only come from a caring father, 

He asks me again 
"Do you trust Me?"

All I can do is fall to my knees and with my face bowed down, I cry and try to ask for forgiveness as I realize all of the times I have pushed my Lord away.
I look up to answer Him, but He holds and comforts me in peace and silence.

Lost and Discarded By: Alley Jan Drow Curious innocent a child like all the others Not special or unique just a little one playing hide and seek Joy, happiness and anger all lived together inside him Some days lost some days won   No father just his mom Looked for strength courage and guidance   none to be found just loneliness and sadness A boy with friends but not many that liked him Family near and distant with fear New places to live often and changing New faces in so many places So many faces familiar and strangers Which one to be used for guidance Anger anger, more often than not Fills his heart with what he hasn’t got

  My Love Long ago you drove away I watched in horror and stared in pain Confused, confound and conflicted, lost in my mind   My body restricted No strength to move was I to find My love drove away leaving me behind Hardened heart for no other to be a part With pain hidden grew to distrust But the love I contained, I could no longer restrain Wanting to share, I looked to God and laid my thoughts bare A promise He kept, but misconstrued   The trust I gave, partial at best  A test To guard my heart and ignore its unrest As if anticipated, the love I gave was never accepted Instead boredom, stagnant and sloth Cast out, trust intact as cracks grew across my heart But God true to his word, sent not one but three to love Now I ask, please send me a bride, a true love to grow in stride My horror now replaced anticipation, contemplation Of so many things in creation My heart now broken from stone above crumbled rocks it laid o pen and bare Free to accept, free to receive the...
