Unlocking the Puzzle

The ecosystem of the Kingdom of God is built by how well we believers can embrace our design and capacity to relate first with God, then ourselves, and then the world around us. Our Heavenly Father has a strategy and it includes each one of us as key pieces in His mosaic pattern.

Far from the hustle and buttle, He calls us to engage with Him in new levels of trust in His plans.

Connecting isn't by default and it's not a natural occurrence. There are five principles of trust to come into a deeper level of intimacy with our Heavenly Father. These include safety, transparency, collaborative support, internal regulation, and mutual integrity. Let's start with safety, which is birthed within us physically, psychologically, and spiritually to give a space where we can feel, share, express our sorrow, grief, joy, doubts, to be heard, and fully known. Father God, teaches us from His word that unless we come as a little child, we cannot enter the Kingdom.

Relationship and risking builds and maintain trust and cultivates our sense of authenticity with God and puts another plank to step out on in our 'trust bridge' between He and our needs. As you are making plans for this season, remember that whatever we attend to will be strengthened. Whether or not we agree with how things are going or not in the world right now, we can be on solid ground when we can reach across our own fears and failures and salvage an opening for our hearts to trust. Ask yourself these questions this month.

• Where has God earned or proved Himself with me?

• Where have I seen a glimpse of God's nature peeking out?

Perhaps you will join me, as together we find that Father God is still providing for us in a most unusual ways...I good parking spot, a phone call answered by an estranged family member, listening to stories from another person who also say God give them a key puzzle piece in their journey or just viewing a field of flowers.
