Leap of Faith

I'll be the first to admit I have stubborn tendencies. Last night I realized how incredibly stubborn I have been with God. He has given me a passion and desire that could only come from Him, and I have asked for confirmation after confirmation after confirmation. And I get the same answer every time. Finally, I have decided to stop questioning. It's time for me to take a leap of faith. Time to swim out to the middle of the river where I am fully relying on Him in every aspect to keep me afloat. I will not fear the unknown. God has not given me a spirit of fear and timidity (2 Timothy 1:7) and His perfect love casts out ALL fear, because there is no fear in love (1 John 4:18). I am strong and filled with His power. I am safest in the center of His will, and that's where I will aim to be. I want to do His work, not my work. I've got to stop being so selfish and really pour all of myself into Jesus and His plans for my life. I'm ready.

Here I am, Lord. Send me.

He is.

I am a daughter of the King. He is my Father and I am His princess. He delights in me. He loves me with an unfailing, UNFATHOMABLE love.Who am I to think that I can do ANYTHING apart from Him?! He gives me the strength I need to get through every day. He fills me with power to overcome. He fights for me. He walks by my side and never leaves me. He is patient with me when I am impatient. He brings me back when I go astray. He restores my soul and refreshes my spirit. He heals my heart. He still wants the best for me even when I have trouble trusting Him. I live in freedom because of how incredibly awesome my Savior is! He breaks strongholds, He tears down walls that keep us from Him and all the good things He wants for us! How awesome is it that the same God who controls the wind, oceans, and ALL creation lives in and loves little ole me?! He deserves so much more than I could ever give Him.

The past month has brought about all sorts of changes in my life. But I am seeing first hand the abundant blessings He pours down on us when are obedient to Him. He knows what He is doing...if we would just stop fighting and going against the current, get in His Presence and LISTEN, He will give us peace and HE will direct our steps. I want all the blessings and gifts He has for me. But that will never happen if I continue to try and live my way. To love Jesus with my whole heart means I have to trust Him with my whole life. Something that a sweet friend of mine said that has really stuck with me is that if I don't completely trust God, I am not completely loving Him. I don't want to hold back any longer. I want to receive everything He wants to give me. Where He leads me, I want to go. Have your way, Lord.


"The Lord directs the steps of the godly.
He delights in every detail of their lives.
Though they stumble, they will never fall,
for the Lord holds them by the hand."
Psalm 37:23-24
