Authenticity
The book of Galatians is probably one of my favorite books in the bible because it talks about the freedom we have in Christ. God knows I struggle so much with wanting to earn His love by performing and “doing everything right”. Lately He has been breaking that in me. I feel so out of control. I do not feel like doing anything spiritual. I am losing my desire to go to church, I don’t want to go to prayer, and I am having a hard time really reading the bible. It all feels like I am doing it out of duty. I know I can’t make decisions based on how I feel but that’s where I am at. Oddly enough, I hear God saying its ok. I hear him saying that he is doing a deep work in me. I trust it because His love for me is so much more stubborn than mine. He pursues my heart so well. I love Jesus with all my heart, I really do. A friend of mine said I think he is building authenticity in you. I completely agree. If I am going to do things for the kingdom, I want to do all for God. I don’t want to do for man’s favor, or simply because I think doing it will bring me closer to God.

Do You Ever Wish...
Do you ever wish someone could simply look at you and just know exactly what you need to hear?
Do you ever wish someone would be able to understand your situation your enduring?
Not just sympathizing, but have the ability to enter whole heartily into the pain, the struggle, and the lies you battle?
Do you ever wish there was that one person you could trust with every ounce of your being and never fear what you just laid bare?
Do you ever wish it was an actual human being that was that trust worthy?
I am learning the hard lesson that Jesus us the only one who looks so deeply into my soul, that He reads all of me with just one glance of my eye. He is the only one who can enter into my pain.
I know this truth so why do I repeatedly think a person will do what only God can? All the more it makes me long to be with my Savior! I cannot wait to see Him face to face!
To experience Him wiping away all my tears of pain, hurt, and suffering.
To sit at His feet and have a conversation without expectation.
To experience pure genuine love:)
