A friend came to visit me the other day. My baby seemed to like her & kept stretching towards her to be carried. Totally cool! They were bonding until my friend did something that upset my girl. She tossed her up in the air. It wasn’t a high toss & she was holding her firmly.
The first time she did it, my baby was startled but didn’t cry. The second time, my baby girl panicked but did not cry. But when my friend did it the THIRD time, my baby burst into loud and angry tears. She was so upset about it. It took A lot to calm her down.
When I was carrying her later, I did the same thing my friend did and this same child was giggling with joy, no fear or anxiety. She was absolutely loving it. And then of course the Holy Spirit started to speak. The words I heard were “you can’t trust who you don’t know”
You see, my baby girl didn’t know my friend well enough to trust her with her little life. So when my friend decided to do some rough play, my daughter wasn’t having it. Her tears were practically saying “I don’t know you like that”. Lol.
But as her mother, my daughter KNOWS ME. She knows my love for her even as a 4 month old. She knows her Mama won’t do anything to hurt her. The words “perfect love casts out all fear” came to mind. In her innocence, my daughter is so secure in my love for her.
This of course takes me to my relationship with God. If we say we KNOW GOD, why do we get anxious and fearful at all? Is it possible that we actually don’t know God and that’s why we struggle to trust him completely? Are we secure in God’s love for us?
I repeat: it is who you know that you can trust. God’s love for us is PERFECT and his perfect love casts out ALL FEAR. The only alternative is that you know the devil better than God and so you fear evil more than you trust in God’s love.
But get this: God is the only one with POWER. Instead of worrying about everything the enemy can throw our way, let us normalize focusing on the love that God has for us. Let us ACCEPT IT! Let it be YOUR REALITY. And if you are still struggling, KNOW GOD so you can TRUST GOD!
It’s December 2020, the love of God is the one thing I am so sure of. It is what I know. It is what I see. It is what I live. I know God and so I trust God. I am secure in God’s love the same way my baby girl is secure in my love for her.
In conclusion: WAHALA FOR WHO NO KNOW GOD O!
