OPEN LETTER TO MY SPIRIT (AND MAYBE YOURS)

Okay, so things are not like you thought they would be. Life not quite like you had hoped it would turn out. You really did not see yourself here, now. What started out as a difficult situation seems to have turned into a difficult season, which at times colors your vision to believe you have a difficult life. Not true sweet one, not true at all. First, remember who you belong to. You have given yourself to Christ Jesus and you are His. The end. Knowing that, you must know that everything that has come your way has gone through His hands and the hands of our Father. Although you feel things are out of control, they are completely in His control. Cling to that.
You have a choice to make today, this very moment. What are you going to do while you are here? The best choice...the wise choice...is to serve, honor, and seek Him in the midst of all this. Sow some seed to be harvested. Do some damage to prince of this earth. Break loose some chains of bondage. Don't give the enemy on foot of ground in this place. Remember what your Lord has promised you. Remember that He is good, He has a plan, He has never left you for one minute. Remember He is making you more like Himself each and every step of the way. Hold fast to the promises of His word to you.
Now get up and dust yourself off. Wash your face, wipe your tears, fix your countenance. Go out there and do something for Jesus. Big or small, doesn't really matter. Do something. Keep your eyes open for what He has for you today. Walk with expectation that this seemingly time of trials can be, will be if you let it, a great time of victory.
You choose.
Don't forget that.
You choose.
