I Wanna Be F.A.T.

Faithfully

Abounding (in)

Trust

Yesterday God showed me that I have not been as trusting in Him as I thought I had been. Through a conflict between my fiancee and I, I found myself treating my future like my past. Being to proud to see the change(s) that God has made in our relationship(s) and outside our relationship i.e. with our own past that we have both traveled from.

Through this situation I noticed that being proud blinds one from seeing the truth and the reality of what is happening in and around them. Being proud relies on ones strength to trust (having confidence) in ones ability to get one through anything or change anything. Being proud causes one to wrongly judge someones intentions for your life. Being proud makes you bigger than what you really are without God.

But then I read this ....

Proverbs 28:25 (King James Version)

 ²⁵He that is of a proud heart stirreth up strife: but he that putteth his trust in the LORD shall be made fat.

Today I have decided I will become F.A.T. by putting my trust in God. F.A.T. simply means to prosper. I want my relationship with my fiancee to prosper. I want my ideas to prosper. I want my dreams to prosper. I want my family to prosper. I want my friends to prosper. I want my enemies to prosper. All these desires can not happen unless I put away my enormous pride and put all my confidence in God.

And who said being F.A.T. was a bad thing????
