I am pursuing the idea of living fearlessly authentic. In my walk of faith so far I have looked to other people on how to see or connect with Jesus. I look to please others and do the right thing in their eyes, instead of Jesus’ and it is NOT satisfying. I have been longing quite a while for that connection with him but haven’t found him because I haven’t been actually walking with Him, I haven’t just sat with him and talked with Him like he was my friend. This was such a simple, yet life changing realization for me. Through spending time with Him it allows me time to listen to the Holy Spirit and recognize the unique gifts he has laid out specifically for me.
There is a verse in proverbs 4:23 that says ‘Guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it’. I have not guarded my heart and let so many lies (not good enough, don’t have anything good to say) for SO long there was no room for the truth in my heart to stay. Because I let those lies in my heart that is what FLOWS out!! When you let bitterness in your heart, bitterness flows out! I will NO LONGER allow lies to rule my heart and those lies will NO LONGER flow out of me. I am guarding my heart with truth and putting a lock around it so lies are NOT welcome in.
At the end of training camp I realized the time was NOW to get baptized as I truly recognized Jesus as my savior and that he had freed me from shame, pride, hurt, and lies. IT WAS SO GOOD. I am who I am because of Jesus and I am fearlessly authentically, ME-A DAUGHTER OF CHRIST!!
You’ll hear much more about training camp in the next post but I had to share this right away!
Thanks for your support!
