HIM TRUSTING US
Today's reading: John 1-2

"Because of the miraculous signs he did in Jerusalem at the Passover celebration, many people were convinced that he was indeed the Messiah. But Jesus didn't trust them, because he knew what people were really like. No one needed to tell him about human nature." John 2:23-25 NLT

Ouch!

Guilty.

I've never once thought about the fact that God shouldn't trust us with anything valuable...

...like His Only Son.

...like the power available to us by the Holy Spirit.

...like building up His church.

...like sharing the Gospel.

...like being the visible sign of an invisible, but clearly with us God.

We waver back and forth. We throw in the towel too easily. We chase anything that is shiny. We are easily distracted. We are the most imperfect of all His created works. We fail in so many areas.

Yet, by His own choice, He has given us a free will. A will that can choose good or bad. A part of our mind, heart and soul that can choose to live out faith in Him, or not.

He cannot trust us, but He entrusted us with His most precious gift, Jesus.
