At the end of your life,

Be sure you can say,

That you did everything God asked you to do.

Make sure you have been obedient and that you did not give up.

Even when it didn’t make any sense, you endured.

You pushed through all the tough, heartbreaking times.

                                    You thanked him for all the joyous and happiest times.

So when you go to the end of your life,

And stand before God,

You can say that you did it all.

Even with some doubt and constant questioning,

You did it.

Well done, good and faithful servant.

You’ve prayed much.

You’ve cried much.

You didn’t understand why you were going through all that you were going through,

but it all was to make you stronger and wiser.

God was building you up and molding you.

He was removing all the things that needed to leave you and revealing to you areas in your life that needed growth and healing.

He was not punishing you.

He was not trying to make you miserable.

He was doing you a huge favor,

because you have the favor of God.

You are a follower of Jesus Christ and he is going to bless you for taking up your cross daily and living for him.

Constantly killing your flesh to follow Christ is not easy but you kept going.

You didn’t give up.

You pushed through when you couldn’t move anymore and God’s Spirit gave you the strength to do all things.

The God of miracles is about to bless you like crazy.

He is moving and things are being changed and arranged for your good.

See it, taste it, believe it.

It’s here.

Your time has come and the season of waiting is over.

Never forget the lessons you’ve learned.

Never forget the trials you’ve endured.

Never forget how God provided for you time and time again.

He did it all for you and He deserves all glory.

Never stop praising your heavenly father and never stop being overwhelmed and amazed at was He has done.

He’s done enough already at the cross and everything else is just extra.

Enjoy this.

Enjoy this breakthrough moment.

You made it here and deserve God’s joy.

Congrats my friend.

You will never be the same because you are forever changed by the power, majesty and wonder of God.

🙂

 

 

The things we find to be too hard to face are actually what we need to face in order to overcome those fears. Everything that I’ve been running from has only made me isolated and far from being healed. I’ve been on an incredible journey with God and his peace is a powerful force that exists. He gives peace that the world cannot give ( John 14:27). Even when I think I’ve surrendered all, I haven’t. I hold on close to what I don’t want to let go to God because of control. Not letting go just puts pressure on us. We think that we need to be in charge of what only God can handle.

At this point in life, I can say I’m tired of running. I’m tired of pushing everything and anything away and keeping myself from living of full life because of the lies and tricks of the enemy. The enemy comes to steal, kill and destroy (John 10:10) and if he can’t steal your blessings or kill you, he’ll destroy you from living freely in surrender and obedience to God.Who wants to live their life in fear or be afraid to embrace the people sent into their life? Who wants to keep hiding and being in isolation due to their own choice? We’re not meant to isolate. We’re not meant to do life alone. It is not possible to live out a full life without others involved.

So look at where you are in life right now and choose to thank God for He has you where he wants you. Grasp every opportunity to live to the fullest. It’s not easy but it’s hard if you don’t let go.

Let go and release the control into God’s hands.

Dear Jesus,

my first love.

I’m thankful for you. Without you I wouldn’t be free. I wouldn’t even be able to understand freedom. I wouldn’t be able to see for my eyes have been unveiled because of you. Thank you.

Thank you Jesus.

There’s nothing in this world that I want desperately more than you.

You make me whole. You give me joy and peace beyond my understanding. I’m overwhelmed by your love for me so much that it brings me to tears.

Help me to continue to fall in love with you more and more each day.

I love you Jesus ❤

Sincerely,

your daughter

The best way to know God deeper is to go into the secret place. The secret place where it is just you and him and no one else. You get to spend time alone with him and you get to say all that is on your mind. You feel his presence with you when you invite him in to your world and in to your life. He’s already there and will always be but when you acknowledge him it changes everything. You begin to be aware of his character and who he is to you and not everyone else. Who is God to you? What’s your relationship like with him? If you haven’t done it today or done it lately, spend time with him. Just you and him and no one else. You’ll become full, fueled, refreshed and prepared for the days ahead.

“But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you”. Matthew 6:6
