Alright here’s where I’m at. Recently, I’ve been sensing a constant struggle of being pulled in two different directions. I go from feeling the tangible embrace of the Holy Spirit, feeling empowered, and at peace, then in the next moment I find myself feeling lost, hopelessly adrift in open waters in the middle of nowhere. It’s a back and forth game that I am tired of playing. The heck is going on here?
How can I forget about Your grace when I am covered in it? How can I forget about Your love when the blood that was shed for me now runs through my veins? How is it possible that I forget who You are when Your very own Spirit lives within me? Every time I forget I suffer.
“Life is a cycle of remembering and forgetting, remembering that flesh and blood are only a dream next to the reality behind them. Of forgetting the same truth again, after only minutes or hours of realizing it.” Ted Dekker, Sovereign
You and I must constantly surrender to the truth of what we know- that everything we see is temporary, only but a dream. A dream that we are given the power to wake from. Choose to live for eternity now, in the present. Take on a Kingdom mindset and see with open eyes what is real- that we are His beloved, complete, lacking nothing, blameless, made new, and no longer condemned.
“When the way seems dark, only remember to surrender to the Truth beyond the law of this world.” Ted Dekker, Outlaw
