All other ground is sinking sand

Still learning to rest.

Still desiring to grow closer to God.

One thing is becoming clear to me- in thinking about what concerns me... I saw a theme.

What if...I'm not a good teacher, what if I fail at friendships, what if I let people down, what if I let God down?... see the theme?

Self.

A good question for me would be: "angela, why is it often about you?"

And Jesus words are the perfect response:

Let not your heart be troubled. You believe in God, believe also in me. ²In my Father’s house are many rooms. If it were not so, would I have told you that I go to prepare a place for you? ³And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will take you to myself, that where I am you may be also.
John 14:1-3

Why are you downcast, O my soul?
Why so disturbed within me?
Put your hope in God,
for I will yet praise him,
my Savior and my God.
Psalm 42:5




My hope is built on nothing less
Than Jesus' blood and righteousness.
I dare not trust the sweetest frame,
But wholly lean on Jesus' name.
On Christ the solid rock I stand,
All other ground is sinking sand.
All other ground is sinking sand
