You rescued me so I can stand and sing:
“I am a child of God!”
Where was I two years ago?
I couldn’t tell you exactly where. My calendar tells me it was a Saturday.. Most likely I was sitting on my couch, binge watching Survivor, and doing absolutely anything I could to keep my mind off of the hurt.
Tonight during worship, God brought me back to where I was two years ago. Right in the midst of the pain and desperation that I quickly turned to numbness. To a time where I wasn’t sure what my future held or what was happening to the life I thought I had. I was convinced I had no value. I believed I had no hope.
I was in a dark part of my life where I ran to and clung to the lies that Satan whispered to me.
And tonight?
Tonight I stood on the second story of a building in Thailand singing praises to the God that washed me in righteousness, calls be worthy, calls me His child. He reminded me of His goodness and His faithfulness even after I ran from Him to the “pleasures” of this world.
There is FREEDOM found in the name of Jesus. You don’t have to be where you are. There is more to life! Don’t limit yourself, don’t put God in a box.
I can’t wrap my mind around where I’ve been and how far I’ve come- how far God has taken me.
I can’t believe I’m in Thailand.
Sometimes I can hardly believe this isn’t all a dream.
And because of him you are in Christ Jesus, who became to us wisdom from God, righteousness and sanctification and redemption
1 Corinthians 1:30 ESV
For you did not receive the spirit of slavery to fall back into fear, but you have received the Spirit of adoption as sons, by whom we cry, “Abba! Father!” The Spirit himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God
Romans 8:15-16 ESV
