I am home. I have been set free and the lord is changing my heart to be more align with His. This journey has been the most taxing and fruitful thing I have ever been through. The Lord has opened my eyes to how He can and will work in ways that only He can. He has showed me His faithfulness through the valley of the shadow of death. He has grown my heart to fight for and believe truth about who I actually am. And He has taught me how to walk throughout every day walking along side Him and why that brings so much life. He has shown me the depth of being empty without Him and fullness of being with Him. I now know what I need to fight for because it is above all else, truth, and reality.
Being home has challenged me because the enemy really really does not want me to fight for and choose the new life that God has given me as He has chosen me. But I am not going to allow the enemy to gain ground and grab hold because He is powerless under the Blood of Jesus. I am a Warrior, and I will fight and wage war for what is pure, righteous, and holy.
“Hold me and see me oh God. Know my heart and see my motives.
You have given and You’ve taken away to give more.
You know whats best and You know what I truly need. As You take away You do so because You are preparing to pour out more.
I have asked and what I have received is not what I expected. But I trust that it’s exactly what I need. You know me fully and make me full.
So I rejoice! I rejoice in the truth that as I feel empty, You are doing more than what I can see. I choose to say, ‘Yes,’ to the Son and walk in Your light.
Be my Rock, oh God! Would You be my firm foundation that I may stand firm, remain steadfast, and not waiver with You.
I am coming back to my first Love.
Fill me with the strength I need to fight in Your armor day after day. I choose to give my all, so Father, be my All.
Would You be all that I need! Lord, help me to believe that You are more than enough for me and I am enough in Your eyes.
Though I feel pain and strife, I will lift my praise continually to You. You sustain and give me life. Praise You Jesus!”
My flesh idolizes, doubts, fails, and turns away. I’m prideful. I’m shameful. I’m lustful. I’m broken. I’m unworthy.
But now because of what You have done, who You are, and the Truth of Your Word, I am not anymore.
