I TRUST IN YOU

Luke 6:20 - "Blessed are you who are poor, for the Kingdom of God is yours."
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The child and the poor - the greatest in Heaven.  And you would ask, "why?"

First, the child.  Carefree, full of life and action.  He doesn't have any problems as he totally rely on his parents for his needs.  He knows that from the moment he wakes up until the moment he lies down again to sleep, he is fully protected and all his needs are met.

Which is the same thing that God wants from us - to totally rely on Him for our needs.  And to trust in Him that everything will be provided.

And the poor?  Well, they may not have all the things in life with them.  They would even scavenge or work harder to have at least one full meal.  But, still, they have totally surrendered their life to God, fully knowing that He alone provides, either through his hard work or the help of others.

Trust - yes, this is the virtue that has made "the child" and "the poor" the greatest in heaven.  Trusting God is believing that He loves you, that he will provide for You, that He will help you.

Surrender your life to God.  Leave all our dreams, burdens and sufferings in His capable hands.  And as we kneel in prayer in the morning and before closing our eyes in the evening, cry out to Him and tell Him that you totally trust in Him.  Then, rest your weary heart and let God do the rest.

+ Let us pray:  Almighty Father, we trust in You.  Let me totally give my life in Your capable hands, like the child and the poor in our midst.  Care for us each and every day, as we rest our weary hearts in Your loving presence, Amen +
