A Little Back Story…

 I have been a Christian  since I was about six years old.  I spent most of my life figuring out how I can do things to serve God and to serve his people.  Those are all great things, but I realized I was  living as if I was God‘s servant and nothing else.  I would try to do good things for the Kingdom  and be an example,  but I continued to fall short because I am human.  The devil used shame and guilt against me, keeping me from feeling loved and feeling worthy of God‘s love. He kept me  paralyzed , afraid to move.  4 years ago,  God showed me how many chains were attached to me that were holding me down. I literally has no idea how much guilt was holding me back.  By his grace, I saw my strongholds in a new way and  I was able to address it and release it.  This past year he brought it to my attention again and he helped me experience a new level of freedom in  him.  I once thought I had to earn his love but he showed me  that I am already loved and worthy because of  his son; taking my place on the cross when it should’ve been me,  and his Holy Spirit which is now living in me.  I am not just a servant of God I am also a child of God. Fully known. Fully loved.
