i feel convicted today to cast all my cares/anxieties upon him... because He cares for me. i realize that i live with an underlying sense of anxiety. i never quite know what the emotional climate is going to be in my home. i sometimes find myself expecting disaster rather than hoping for and expecting the best.
so today, i feel like i've taken a trip to the woodshed and been disciplined. love is described as being patient, kind, bearing all things, hoping all things... i don't hope... i sometimes despair. the exact opposite of love. the absence of hope. how awful to have this realization. but i trust that it was the holy spirit who lovingly brought this to my attention, and so now i am consciously handing over my anxiety to the one who does care for me. i'm excited to see how gracious He will be with my heart, my anxiousness, my concerns. i know He will soothe me.
