Back to Eden (fight for Childlike Joy)

I’ve been battling a sea of emotions

Some days I’m up, others I’m down

Wanting to run away from the process- but knowing God needs me here

I wanna trust in the arms of My Proud Pappa

To experience fully the love, joy and peace that is blossoming all round me

But the thorns, the thistles, the mower of life tries to cut down and choke

the beautiful flower that God has created me to be

Do it hurt, God says

I just want to take a pill and wake up with all of it behind me

But that’s not what life in Christ is about

It’s about walking hand in hand with the King of The Universe, Knowing Victory is mine

Knowing that God is FOR ME, Knowing that, the battle is already won

So much life is around me, I’m so blessed, but with every move satan is breathing down my neck

Corroding me with lies, that I’m not good enough, not worthy enough

But HE IS A LIAR

I WILL NOT EAT THE FORBIDDEN FRUIT!

I will trust that He who began a good work in me will complete it until the day of Christ Jesus

I won’t live cynical, afraid of the future, stuck in the past- numb to today,

No.

Not anymore.

I chose to live. I chose to breathe

I chose to love my God

And this beautiful life he has given me—and so

I blossom.

“I am a rose of Sharon, a lily of the valleys.” Song of Solomon 2:1

Prayer

Lord, thank you for being amazing. Help us to live free and bold in your love. Remove the scales of fear and cynicism from our hearts. Make us new and fresh in you and give us a love that beats inside of your perfect will. Erase and Eradicate all our shame, anxiety and complexes, and destroy every evil alter that we bow down to as our medicine. May you be the only one who medicates us. Heal us with your Blood, captivate us by your love. In Jesus’ name, Amen!

Thanks for reading,

Sincerely, Stacie
