What you gain from Trusting..................

As I said in the last segment of my "Eeny Meeny, Miney and Mo(mo) saga, I want to share what I have learned about TRUST thus far through these kittens that God entrusted me with.I hope you understand that the trust I am speaking of is trusting in God.

As you recall, Momo is the most trusting, Eeny Meeny is less trusting and Miney is the least trusting. I would hope that I am a MOMO, but I have to admit that after 48 years of calling myself a Christian, I am an EENY MEENY.

The MOMO TRUST trust opens up all the doors of heaven for a blessing to be poured out on you that you can't contain. And because you can't contain it, trust runs off of you so that everyone around you is drenched in it and because they are now soaked with the splashing of your trust, trusting comes easier for them.

That kind of trust is the icing on the cake, but you get to enjoy the icing, the cake and the mousse filling in the center when you have that kind of trust. God opens his hands and says,"Come on Momo." and you bounce over to him in perfect trust and receive all he has for you without fear.

The EENY MEENY TRUST allows you to wade in the shallows of God's provision, but you never get deep enough where you are confident that no matter what you see with your eyes, God is in control. This kind of trust enables you to have times of contentment while sunbeams coming in through the window warm you, but at the first "noise" you do not recognize you run under the bed.

Although, God's offers you a large piece of cake, this EENY MEENY TRUST allows you to eat the mousse and the cake all around it , but you never get to taste the "sweetness" of the icing. You know you're missing God's best, but you just can't trust enough to accept it all.

Then there is the MINEY TRUST. This level of trust prevents you from even venturing into the water at all. You stand on the shore just watching everyone enjoy all that God has, but are too afraid to take part in the wading(EENY MEENY) or the splashing(MOMO.)

God stands calling your name and extending a piece of cake, but you are too afraid to even approach him. Occasionally you nibble on the crumbs that fall on the ground, but you never enjoy the pleasure found in eating the cake, mousse and icing that God has so graciously prepared for you.

Momo wasn't always as trusting as she is now, but each time she allowed herself to be trusting she discovered that trusting was rewarding. She is no longer out in the heat, rain, or cold. She not only gets her regular cat food, but special treats as well. And she has found that it feels great to have your ears and belly scratched. She also discovered that when you are afraid of the unknown, the one you trust will pick you up and hold you close until the reason for being afraid is gone.

Adonai, help me to have a MOMO TRUST...........................Shalom, Bebe
