It's incredible
what God will show you when you open your eyes.
In the past three
days, I have had the most amazing times that I have had in a while.
Spending time with friends, praying hard for everything under the
sun, and experiencing some much needed time away from certain
situations in my life, God is really allowing me to see what life
“abundant” looks like.
He's also showing
me what it looks like to be free.
In my life, I have
never really considered myself to have any addictions, or to have an
“addictive” personality, so to speak. But, in this time away
from the conventional, God has shown me that although I may not have
common “addictions,” I definitely have made certain things, and
peoples, idols in my life, which have fostered addictions.
It's funny how you
don't recognize that you're a captive, until you know freedom.
And that is the
story of the cross that I daily remind myself when I find myself
weakly reaching back to those things that held me in great bondage.
If I think on what He did to set me free, and what I was set free
from, and for, it makes accepting that grace, mercy, and freedom even
easier.
He is helping me
to see clearly, and to love Him better in the midst of this clarity.
In Christ,
Lilia
P.S. At the
women's night of prayer, we had an amazing time, and spent
conversations discussing the names of God. In my next blogs, I will
focus on one name, per day, and relate how God is influential in my
life through that specific name. I'm stoked...stay tuned!
