Lately my head has been SWARMING with soooo many different questions:
“How will I ever get from the $2,000.00 I have raised currently to the $15,500.00 that I need for the race?”
“What if I rushed into this decision?”
“What if I am just running away from hard relationships here, or gave up on them too soon?”
“ What if there is something that I will miss out on when I leave?”
“Is this really God’s will for my life?”
I have been really seeking answers and awaiting an answer or confirmation or something tangible, praying for a word undoubtedly from Abba Father himself. And then this morning, as soon as I opened my eyes…BAM!! He answered with just a few simple words.
“Beloved, be still and know that I am God. There is nothing better than me, so just QUIT looking or hoping that I will tell you otherwise.”
At first I felt like I had just been handed a pill that was seemingly impossible to swallow, I might have even became a tad bit defensive. But then an inexplicable peace washed over me.
Why is it that I can’t just accept the true freedom that Christ has purchased for me? It should be so easy! I shouldn’t have to drive myself crazy with a million questions. As long as I am living a life to: glorify the Lord above all else, build up and love His people, and truly serve His kingdom…I am absolutely doing His will!
Abba Father has blessed me with the opportunity to go on The World Race. He has blessed me with friends and loved ones who are incredibly supportive and encouraging. He has organized a group of A.M.A.Z.I.N.G. believers who are ready to change the world (and themselves) through the power of His love! It is a chance to live a life for Jesus! So why would I doubt?
Apart from Christ, there is nothing worthwhile for it too shall perish. I am DONE with striving to find joy outside of Him. I am DONE with putting people and relationships on a pedestal above Him. I am now wholeheartedly choosing to live in unabashed FREEDOM. No more questioning if there is something better for me out there than the one who loves me enough to die for me! In. Christ. Alone. I. Stand.
Love,
Cassie
