If they knew the real me, they would see the ugliness that
resides within. They would hear the
words, witness the temper and suffer the selfishness that has been built up
over years of feeling sorry for myself. Some
look upon my story and turn away believing that I have been blessed and they
would be right in their assessment. But
the blessings go much deeper than any other could ever realize or visualize. For you see, the life that others witness is
nothing but a front for the fear, helplessness and worry that rests just
beneath the surface. In this life I have
discovered how to hide behind this image of strength and confidence so that the
world will not see the weakness within.
Within the last few months I have taken a sabbatical from
writing, to seek the truth of what is underneath the exterior persona and
attempt to find the root of who I really am.
Many of you may not want to follow along my journey and I understand that. We are all pressed for time and it only makes
sense that you have many other things vying for your attention and precious
moments throughout each day. If this is
you, simply shoot me a message and I’ll take you off the distribution list, no
questions asked. Those of you who want
to follow along, I ask for your prayers and patience as the Lord walks me
through this valley. If you want to
forward this to others, please feel free.
Perhaps they are going through similar self evaluations.
Day 1: Unconditional
Love
"But God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us." – Romans 5:8
"But God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us." – Romans 5:8
God knows exactly
who I am. Unlike you and your opinion of
me based on who you see on the outside God has known me from the moment I was conceived
in my mother’s womb. He knows of my
strengths, my weakness’ and my failures, and despite all of this He has still
granted me the opportunity of eternal life with Him one day. Nothing can ever compare to His act of
sacrifice offered to save my soul from eternal Hell. I start my journey by realizing that my God
loves me, even when others don’t.
Prayer:
Father,
Thank You for loving me, even when I don’t. Thank You for the grace and mercy You have provided through the sacrifice of Your son, Jesus Christ. Help me, Lord, to put away the past, the unrighteousness and focus on the path You have laid out for me. Holy Spirit, speak through me, guide my footsteps to fall upon the path of righteousness and let my words edify Your glory. I humbly lay myself before You and seek Your truth. – Amen
