Why ‘Entrusted with grace’?

The word ‘entrusted’ has been jumping from the pages of my Bible for the past couple of years now, and I have been wrestling with what exactly this word means to me deep down. As I briefly explained in my first introductory post, I used to feel weary of this word, as if it was one big weight that my very weak, very human shoulders could not bear on my own. I would read entrusted and only envision this great burden, that if I misstepped this way or that, I would mess up my one shot to make a difference. I would let Jesus down.

Yet as the Lord has been drawing me in to His character and His love for me and for His world, I am seeing that He has entrusted us with such lavish grace, not to be seen as a burden, but as a gift.

He has entrusted us with the lives he has given us, yes, but he has not entrusted us alone…

But what exactly have we as believers in Jesus been entrusted with? And how we can we even carry that kind of weight of being entrusted by the Creator of, well, everything?

Tune in for my attempt to answer these questions and more as I add to these pages. I may share about everyday life, motherhood, missions, adoption, marriage, or a general processing of a little bit of everything, but I pray I do so all in light of being entrusted by a very good, very loving Father. Who is with us in it all. Go in grace with much confidence in Him, friends!

Humbly yours,
