God's love for us is constant. Life is not. All of my emotions, peace, joy, hope, fear, anguish, sadness, etc have been following the ebb and flow of life. How do I get my heart and my emotions to stay steady on the constancy of God's love?
I believe this is possible. I once read "George Muller of Bristol". A lovely but dry and factual biography of a man who had so much faith that he almost delighted in the trials of life, because he couldn't wait to see how God will deliver "this time".
I don't think this is a change I can force on myself... rather, I must let God take me where he must. The Holy Spirit will be the instigator of change within my heart as I seek God in all circumstances. "Father, I pray that you change me. I don't want to be tossed about on the waves of life. I want to have peace and joy knowing you are my loving father who will provide."
David
“Come on!” Jesus said. Peter then got out of the boat and started walking on the water toward him. But when Peter saw how strong the wind was, he was afraid and started sinking. “Save me, Lord!” he shouted. Right away, Jesus reached out his hand. He helped Peter up and said, “You surely don’t have much faith. Why do you doubt?” (Matthew 14:29-31 CEV)
