The more of us that we give to the Lord to fill, the more we will sense Jesus’s peace flooding our souls, that quiet, confident faith that pushes out fear, stress, and anxiety.
“Am I a Terrible Person?”
There is great power in the words “God, please forgive me.” Not only will God forgive you and me, but God will clean out the wound.
“I Can’t Take It Anymore!”
God is not the one authoring the harm. That is on the broken world, all the broken people (including you and me) in the world with our sharp edges, and the powers of evil that hate God and all that is good and lovely. But God does not leave it there. God insists on finding a way to turn even these horrible things into good.
“What’s In It for Me?”
The Bible also talks about being good stewards, being responsible as well as generous. You and I cannot spend what is not ours, what is supposed to cover our obligations. But we can be responsible and generous, just as God is.
