Prisons

I love when I have revelations in my life. A moment where I say to myself, "Whoa! This is profound." And then I begin a journey that changes my life.

A couple days ago I was consumed with all this guilt, shame, and brokenness. It was almost unbearable and unimaginable.  

Then my thoughts drifted back to what I learned at Summit. Jesus came to absorb my pain. I can choose to stop feeling that way. I can choose to say, "This pain has no place in my life because all the pain of the world Jesus took upon Himself. I never have to live in it."

Then God removed it from my life. Now all I feel is freedom.

Another profound truth I learned tonight is how much control I let others have over me. Some people in my life over the years have influenced me way too much. Letting people control how and what I feel is a prison that I need to be set free from desperately.

I confess I don't know what this means for my life. But I know one thing: only good can come of this new realization about my life.

Always <3

All for HIS glory
