Only

But when Jesus heard it, He answered him, saying, “Do not be afraid; only believe, and she will be made well.” (Luke 8:50, NLT)

On Thursday, I wrote a blog post about my ways being higher than Bo's ways entitled, "I Just Don't Understand".

Since then, I've gotten a lot of feedback from readers about how that post has helped them move from not understanding to trusting.

The Lord has been moving on my heart to discuss, "only".

Only defined is:

• Adverb: and no one or nothing more besides; solely or exclusively: 
• Adjective: Alone of its or their kind; single or solitary: 

Mahalo google!

This is a gentle reminder and an addition to Thursday's blog post, "I Just Don't Understand". We are not called to understand, we are called to "only believe". (Luke 8:50) And when we are only believing, there is no room for doubt. 

I will explain. 

If we are (only) married, there is no room for us to be single. 

If we are (only) a woman, there is no room for us to be a man.

If we are (only) facing north, there is no room for us to be facing south.

Since Bo is only a dog, there is no room for him to be a cat. Well, you get the idea!

In the same manner, we are to only believe, leaving no room for doubt. (James 1:6)

Trust Him, He is so trustworthy!

Father, thank You for being trustworthy at all times! Thank You for your love that never fails! Thank You for teaching us that we can fully trust in You! In the name of Jesus, I pray for each reader right now as they have moved from battling with understanding to completely resting in trusting You. Thank You for finishing what You started in them. Thank You for Your peace which surpasses all understanding!
