Even when turn astray. Even when we forget about our faith and our own hearts desires.

I’ve been truly saved for 12 years now. I’m 40 btw. For 4 years or so before then there was I suppose a gray area? Gray to me anyway. Pray and sin and pray and want xyz in ways that I could not articulate…

In my case the deep longing was to escape bondage. My own sins and Satan self and the world 🌍 had resulted in bondage and oppression. On a good day a church person might pray with me. More often it was the cold comfort of psychiatry and being kept by long suffering parents out of the worst of poverty.

Now? Long story I’ve rehashed and reframed entirely too many times but…

Now? I get it better more completely more thoroughly. Now I can say I honestly feel it in my being not just nodding in shallow acceptance…

God is Good. God is Love. God is merciful.

I have been granted physical restoration and deliverance from bondage and oppression in my lifetime here on earth 🌎. I’m no more saved or beloved than those who are not restored and not delivered but…

My praise goes up daily to Christ Jesus.

That is good to hear.
But part of moving into the future is letting go of the past.
What have you got on the "front burner" now ?
Got a job ?
Got a hobby ?
Got a plan ?
