Have a Little Faith in Me.

There area few phrases that give me a heart attack when directed at me.

"I trust you."
"I know you'll do a good job."
"I'm going to put you in charge of this."

And in the past 48 hours, they've all been said to me. I don't know how much more my heart can take.

I like being busy and involved. I like serving. Some Responsibility? Sure.

It also scares me. I feel unworthy.

When I've failed, other friends have shrugged their shoulders and "learned their lesson" not to trust me. They've taken away responsibilities. They lost faith. I became discouraged and felt incapable of living up to expectations.

There's someone in my life who I feel has always had faith in me. She has every reason to doubt me and never give me any responsibility ever again. And yet, she never fails to hand me something else that she knows I can do. And will do. Because I refuse to let her down.

I think she has the same attitude towards me that God has. He knows I CAN, but the choice is up to me. I have responsibility, but it's up to me to do it. He doesn't lose faith in me...but I lose faith in Him.

So with all of this responsibility on me: my job, tea party stuff, graduate applications, being a good Christian, substitute teaching Bible classes, maintaining relationships, money management..............I know I CAN... and it's time to prove it.
