Here is the burning question
that will define my life
and purify my intentions
if asked often and in earnest:
Can I trust God knowing
I will surely die?© 2015 Dennis Ference

But then, our consciousness survives physical demise.
And this is part of the question of trust.
Ha..Ha..but if one avails oneself to all the sources of near-death experiences, regressions, etc, trust can be built rather easily, I suppose. Have a great day!
You also. Peace!
Oh, Dennis, I’ve missed you! I only visit WordPress once a week now. I’m glad I got a wonderful piece of your sage advice while here today 🙂
Glad you dropped by. I had been on a bit of a hiatus until recently and wasn’t sure I’d return, but it felt right. I’ve had to reconnect with a number of blogs. Hope your latest format fits you well. Peace. ~Dennis
Thanks, Dennis. I’m semi-retired from WordPress now. lol! Hope to see you next week 🙂
sure can…
😊
The picture of the dead or dormant tree is the rest of the story. I can trust God who transforms creation over and over.
Indeed, being enveloped by the sacred dynamics of creation is the wonderful background of all our stories.
Another love!!
As Peter responded to Jesus, “To whom (else) shall we go? You have the words of eternal life.” We will indeed die; hence, if we *can’t* trust God, we’re in big trouble!
Indeed!
Thank you for this reflective moment Dennis 💛
I too have stepped back for a while and am feeling ready to recommit to bringing what is needed more and more. Peace to you 🙏
And to you! 🙏
I lost my son recently and I have asked that question “Can I trust God?”
It’s been hard because I prayed for him for many years.
I can trust God to be there for me when I am at my very lowest ebb, because He is closer than my skin right now.
Someone told me that God wouldn’t have taken my son back if he hadn’t finished his work here on Earth, so I trust that this is God’s will and that my son has gone home. Does this make any sense?
Ally, I think we are all works in progress, and we must search over and over for what helps us experience peace and acceptance at different stages in our life and after different experiences. These helpful “answers” can change and move us into an ever deeper relationship with God. Not having air-tight answers is ok and is the garden in which we must plant our trust. Condolences to you, Ally, and peace.
Thank you for your thoughtful reply. I’m glad to be exploring these questions.
“Not having air-tight answers is ok and is the garden in which we must plant our trust.” That is quite profound. Have a great day! 🙂
