These were the words satan would use to keep me from walking in freedom.
It had such a stronghold of oppression so powerful I felt emotionally handicapped and unable to love and care for people.
I was always pushing people away because I was afraid to be vulnerable.
I would wake up some mornings feeling like I didn't belong, I didn't feel accepted, valued, honored or loved.
I felt alone.
I struggled constantly with the fear of trusting, the fear of rejection and the fear of opening up my heart to love.
Even though I knew that I had a father in God, I never really experienced what it meant to be His daughter. I lived, acted and thought like a fatherless orphan because I never truly embraced Father God's love on a personal level.
The storms, setbacks and disappointments of my life made me afraid to let go and afraid to risk becoming vulnerable by believing God when He says, “I love you.”
“Really God? You love me? Then why do I feel like you've left me?”
“Why would you allow my mom and dad to die?”
“Why would you strip me of my home?”
God responded with..
“I will not leave you like an orphan. You have a home with Me.”
Jeremiah 31:3
“I have loved you with an everlasting love; I have drawn you with loving-kindness”
I have to take this verse personally because God means it personally. God never created me to be an orphan with no home. He created me to be a beloved daughter who has found a home in Him.
Home is where you constantly hear the voice of God speaking His affirmation over you, His love over you, and His forgiveness, compassion and grace over you.
It's part of renewing your mind with His word. It's walking in FREEDOM!
“Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is Freedom”
Have you found a home in God?
Are you walking in freedom?
I encourage you to examine your heart…
