As I sit and have my cup of coffee with Jesus, I was thinking about SELF TRUST.

It’s hard sometimes to TRUST ourselves, but it is also the core of our existence.

If we believe that Christ lives in us, then TRUSTING ourselves is very important.

Both doubt and fear are our enemies. Anxiety, confusion, or depression are against the very spirit of God that lives in us.

We learn SELF TRUST by listening, by making mistakes, and then by TRUSTING ourselves anyway. We learn SELF TRUST by listening to God who lives within us.

In reality, we know what is best for us, and we know what takes us down. We have to learn to TRUST ourselves!

We can look for others to support and help us, but we have to TRUST ourselves. When we stand in our own TRUST, and in our own light, Christ lives in us.

11 Philippians 4:13 says, “I can do all things through Him who strengthens me.”

Psalm 28:7 says, “The Lord is my strength and my shield; and Him my heart TRUSTS, and I am helped. My heart exults, and with my song I will give thanks to Him.”

Today, listen to your inner voice; it is the Christ that lives within you who guides you.

Trust in yourself and say the beautiful prayer of the DIVINE MERCY, “Jesus, I TRUST in you!”

Have a blessed day!

As I sit and have my cup of coffee with Jesus, I was thinking about WORKING OUT.  I seem to be very disciplined in my prayer life and I like routine, but working out takes a lot of effort for me.  I know I should do it, I feel better once I’ve done it, and I know it’s good for my body, so why do I struggle?  And yet, as I sit and have my cup of coffee with Jesus, I’m thinking of all the ways to get out of my WORKOUT this morning.  Pancakes sound so much better!

However, today I am going to listen to my inner voice that tells me I need this in more ways than one.  It will help me in the ministry GOD calls me to do today.  It will help me to think more clearly and to feel good. I am going to make it part of my prayer today to exercise.

So today, join me.  Get out and take care of your body.  Take a walk, go on a hike, go to the gym, do something to continue to celebrate health and God‘s call to take care of the temple of the Holy Spirit.  

I’m heading into the gym right now, but maybe I’ll go for pancakes after my workout! 

Have a blessed day!
