More of Thee

So, God has really been working on me for the past month. More than ever I want more of God. It is in Him where I am made whole. He takes the broken fragments of our lives and puts them together. In the scripture it says that whoever the Son sets free he is free indeed. God is slowly showing me the great freedom He longs for me to have in Him. Freedom from worry, freedom to move on from a hurtful past, freedom to dance and praise Him, freedom to smile, freedom to know that no matter what He has my life in His hands, and that He holds the future. I don't have to get it all right all the time, I don't have to be everything for everyone, and by no means do I have to have everything figured out. I just have to enjoy each day he gives me on this earth, and strive to make the most of it. I've been reading from the book "Amazing Freedom" it's the Women of Faith devotional book for this years conference. If you can find it, it's a great read, plus I'm in the book with my mom, in a devotional about freedom to face new trials. It talks about my mom's learning to cope with the fact that she is on oxygen 24/7, and how God has been her strength through that. My point is that while it is natural at times to feel overwhelmed and uncertain in life if we can draw near to the heart of Christ we can experience the richness of the freedom He longs for us to have. I by no means get this right majority of the time, but it's something God is teaching me, and an area He is pruning me in.


Dear Lord,
Please help me to draw closer to you and your heart so that I may experience the freedom you desire in my life. I hand to you my worries, my future, my pain, my failures, and I know that you can produce the healing and wholeness I need. Thank you for your wonderful promises. Help me to share of the freedom I've found in you with others not just in mere words Lord, but in how I live my life. Forgive me for the times when I get that so wrong, and thank you for your grace that covers all the weaknesses in me. Amen.
