What’s your favorite thing about yourself?
That Jesus is in me as well as the Father and Holy Spirit and I am never alone and have no need to ever fear again.
Before I was Born Again and filled with new life, hope and peace, I was terribly insecure and fearful of people and life. I would spend my days obsessing about issues that I couldn’t solve or even make the slightest difference for the outcomes.
When I learned about the issue of child abuse and began doing all that I could to help stop such evil in my state, I watched as the foster care system nearly collapsed because of the massive increase in children being harmed in our state. The numbers increased by 44% in the two years that I spent all my time and effort to see improvements for these things. Things seemed hopeless until I decided to seek the highest possible source for help.
I began to pray to God for help and everything began to change. He told me to pray bigger because He was wanting to save more than one kid a day like I prayed at first.
I was ecstatic and prayed night and day for five years straight asking for everything I could think of to see lives better and children safe.
I saw amazing miracles and lives being transformed daily. God is so good! The Lord became my best friend and my greatest delight and joy. Every moment was spent focused on Him and learning what He wanted to do and doing all that He put in my heart to do.
There is nothing better than experiencing a daily walk with God and hearing His voice and knowing His heart. I could have missed the greatest gift of this life if I would have kept on trying to do things in my own strength and with my own mind and abilities, but when I realized that no one else had the solution or answers on how to help with the darkest issues, I finally gave up my striving and laid it all down at the feet of the Lord.
I finally found the truth and the freedom of knowing that I didn’t have to solve every problem or make every life better, but I could pray and release it all to God in exchange for His peace and joy. What a better way to do life. Trusting in the Lord with ALL of my heart! Fear left and I had freedom to live a life of love and purpose that would have an eternal impact and nothing was ever going to be lost or wasted again.
