I know it has been forever since I wrote on my blog.... oops!
But God has been doing huge things in my life these days and I just can't not say anything anymore! So here I go...
God is showing me SO MANY THINGS. I have no idea where to start...
All I know is that for the first time I am truly starting to understand the lessons I have been taught my whole life:
GOD LOVES ME
GOD LIVES IN MY HEART
GOD HAS A PLAN FOR ME
GOD PROTECTS ME
GOD WANTS TO USE ME
GOD PROVIDES JOY, COMPASSION, PEACE, MERCY, STRENGTH
and most of all...
GOD IS FREEDOM!!!
God is freedom from my sin... and I have a lot! He allows me to live everyday even though I am so horribly sinful. And the best thing of all...
God gives me freedom from people; from their judgments; from their expectations; from their hatred; from their hurtfulness; from their disappointments.
I am free when I live my life for the One who gives me the gift of life every single day. I am free when I surrender everything, take up my cross, and follow Him.
Only then do I find true JOY, PEACE, & LOVE.
My heart is so full of God's UNCONDITIONAL love for me today... may my life reflect what you have done me and let your love overflow from my life to those around me.
"Christ has set us free to live a free life. So take your stand! Never again let anyone put a harness of slavery on you." Galatians 5:1 (The Message)
"Then he told them what they could expect for themselves: "Anyone who intentends to come with me has to let me lead. You're not in the driver's seat - I am. Don't run from suffering; embrace it. Follow me and I'll show you how. Self-help is no help at all. Self-sacrifice is the way, my way, to finding yourself, your true self. What good would it do to get everything you want and lose you, the real you? If any of you is embarrassed with me and the way I'm leading you, know that the Son of Man will be far more embarrassed with you when he arrives in all his splendor in company with the Father and the holy angels. This isn't, you realize, pie in the sky by and by. Some who have taken their stand right here are going to see it happen, see with their own eyes the kingdom of God." Luke 23-27 (The Message)
