I strongly believe the Lord can deliver anyone from anything. When I look back on my life and ponder on how much God turned my life around for the better, I am astonished. There was a time when I struggled finding who I was in Christ. I thought I wasn't worthy of His love. I tried to run from God, I believed He was too good to be true. My pride blinded me, I blissfully ignored wise council. The only thing I was loyal to was my flesh, anything that looked appealing I was drawn to it, ignoring the consequences that follow my poor decisions. I was tired of me, I knew I had nothing to lose by handing my life to Christ. There is something about His love that welcomes me in. His love continues to captivate me. I am drawn to God's love and kindness, I found freedom in Him. His love truly liberates me. The truth is, freedom is always available to me, the issue was me finding too much comfort in captivity. My toxic thought patterns, arrogance, and one track mind all came crashing down on me. I came to a point when I finally had enough running in circles and finding no solution. I had to be willing to hand everything over to Christ, my pride, my struggles. I had to lay it all down at the cross. I came to the conclusion that God has all things work together for our good, everything that happened in my life up until this point drew me closer to God. I don't regret a thing because it all drew me closer to Him. I have to willingly pick up the cross and go to Christ with humility. The reason I say this is because if you are struggling with anything, know that there is hope in your circumstance, this is not the end of the road. Your story is not over yet, God is not done. Pray, keep the faith, this is just the beginning.
