This place is beautiful, the people are beautiful. Jesus is beautiful, I am beautiful.
Healing is a process. It is also possible. Jesus WANTS us to experience healing in areas of our life, whether that be in shame, anxiety, anger, poor self worth etc.
Healing and freedom is what training camp has brought to me thus far. This week has been an amazing, incredibly hard transformational one. It has hurt, but in a necessary, soul-yearning way. I have encountered the Holy Spirit in ways I never believed possible, and felt lies that have built up over a lifetime dissolve in seconds. People and memories that have plagued my view of who I am were wiped away and I was left standing with a clear picture of who I truly am. Who God calls me to be.
Beautiful.
A beautiful, strong, pure, bold, gentle woman of the Lord.
This IS who I am.
I’m not saying I don’t still struggle with self image and worth, but I am saying that for the first time I truly saw and felt how God views me. While I may fall back into incorrect perception, Jesus sees me everyday as the woman described above. It fills me heart with such JOY knowing how my Savior views me and loves me.
If the changes this week are prophetic of the year to come, then I am in for a wild ride. 🙂
