“My purpose is
that they may be encouraged in heart and united in love, so that they
may have the full riches of complete understanding, in order that they
may know the mystery of God, namely, Christ, in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.” Colossians 2:2-3

Deceit
Lies
Separation
Discouragement
The things that the enemy tries whisper to you. The things that Paul didn’t want for the church. But the very things that took over my life all throughout high school and on to college. My mind was full of the lies that the world told me. I was defined by what others thought of me. A life filled with discouragement every time I looked into the mirror. Separated from the community of believers that I so desperately needed.
Today I was talking with a friend about letting things go. Recently I just let go of somethings that tended to take over my life. Feelings that I harbored for years. I came to a place full of peace and forgiveness that I have never felt……
The deceit, lies, separation and discouragement of my past washed away.And now is the next step.To draw close to God with my whole heart and know the mysteries.
I’ll have to admit that lately I haven’t been doing that. I need to stop being so consumed with my life and strive towards the eternal glory. I was thinking today about who I was. I started to think about things that I liked. Funny as it sounds I was trying to decide if I was a country or a city girl. I couldn’t decide. When I think of who I am it tends to be things that are temporary. Not an eternal definition.
Christ should be my definition. He defines me.
>Lord, let my life be an outward expression of my inward definition<
Love, Love V
