“There must be more than this provincial life”
I was always a hardcore Cinderella fan, but a close second was Beauty and the Beast. As a little girl I remember feeling Belle’s bellowing cry deep inside of me when she sang, “There must be more than this provincial life”.. Over the years, that declaration resided in my heart…
“He (God) has also set eternity in the hearts of men..” Ecc 3:11.
We human beings are not all body..our spirits crave for something/someone higher.. something/someone greater… something/someone supernatural that will fill, what feels like, a hole inside of us. We crave for something/someone who can cure the disease of this mundane life that we live.
Jesus said “The thief (devil) comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that (you) may have life, and have it to the full. ” John 10:10
Brooklyn is wonderful, NYC is wonderful, life is wonderful..but still I felt there was something more..
When I was flying to training camp… that something inside of me said.. “This is it…this is
the more..this is right”..
Growing up in church meant nothing. I wanted to know that God was real
for myself. I asked Him to prove himself and He did.. that was 7 years
ago. And even still, for the first time, I feel like I am actually
living life abundantly…fully..actually beyond what I could even dream.
Letting Jesus pull me out of every comfort zone, out of every false security, crutch, and my own selfish nature…has been the hardest.. and the most freeing thing I have experienced in my life…
Would you dare to admit that you too feel there is “something more”? Would you agree that there is something that is holding you back from receiving that freedom/peace/eternity that your heart is beating for?
I can only share with you how God met this need for “something more” in my life, and how my second day at training camp brought me a freedom I never knew before…stay tuned..
