At this point I’d like to invite you to pause and direct your attention to what you perceive your embodied responses to be when you consider what it means to “trust” God. Your embodied responses are what you sense in your body upon imagining Jesus telling you, “Indeed, it is finished. It’s all done. All those things that we both know keep you from receiving my love for you—I’m not paying attention to them. I’m paying attention to you. And I want you to only pay attention to me. I want you at my banquet. I want you sitting right next to me and to the others who I know can’t wait to sit next to you when they see you. I would love for you to believe me—that it’s all true.”

After I read this, my mind could imagine Jesus saying this to me. My emotions longed for this to be true, but my mind had a hard time believing. Part of this is the need or desire for a secure attachment. Secure attachment is the place where we can find true peace. The HOPE is there; that we can find that secure attachment in Jesus and through Him find true hope and true identity.
