the new me

I threw out everything that wasn't mine. Everything that I used to be and never was. I have washed myself clean of what now is a memory. A memory so far back that I can't even grab anymore. A thought that has just faded away into the darkness of nothing.

I feel new. Rejuvenated. A new person. With new eyes and ears and a new heart. A child at heart, that runs with the freedom of the wind.

God. He has such a profound love for us. So deep and strong. So caring. A love that no obstacle could ever break. He always wants us to run back to Him. Just talk to Him and listen to his soft and nurturing voice. A tone that gives us warmth and comfort in times of trouble. He is our foundation and our strong tower. He is our light and our Father. He is our creator. He is jealous for us.

Jealous. Jealousy. He created us. He wants us. He wants us to be a part of Him. To live our lives according to His will. To follow His path and leave ours behind.

"Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and mind through Christ Jesus." ~Philippians 4:6-7 --> Anxiety, discouragement, stress and worry. All bottled up inside. All ready to explode. God gives me the peace of mind that I need. He gives me the love and strength that keep me going day to day. He is our God. He is my God. The love that I have for him is so deep but the one that he has for us is 1000000000000000000000 X bigger, and probably even bigger than that.

The sin that so easily ensnares me will no longer hold me back. I am a new person in Christ Jesus. I have known Him for so long and fell astray. He has never left me. I was the one who left him. I have decided to grab His hand and let Him take the lead because I obviously don't do such a good job of trying to control my own life without Him.

Take control of your life.

Be courageous. Be strong

With Love,
