Dear Lord,
Dear Lord,
I've had a breakthrough! I now see that I am ashamed of my
life’s gospel. 2 Tim. 1:7 says that you do give me a spirit of fear, but a
spirit of power and love and self-control. All that my life is is because of
what you have done and not because of anything that I have done. Maybe that is
why I have been so ashamed? I did not want others to know why I thought my life
was in shambles. However, my life is not in shambles; I have nothing to be
ashamed of and I should be praising your name.
Actually I should be proud to tell my story! Why? Because God
is at the center. There is nothing exceptional or traditional about my life;
however, that is what makes my testimony all the more powerful. My story is really
God speaking through me; shining through me.
In order for me to step into my future, I have to boldly proclaim
all that God has done for me. Now what I think is noteworthy. Wow…. Look at
what I have been doing, Lord. I have been holding back my testimony in fear of
its validity and its reception by others.
No longer!
I am qualified and educated by you. My degree is in progress
at the B.I.B.L.E University and my guidance counselor, the Holy Spirit, is with
me every step of the way. I am me and I choose to take it instead of leave it.
Love,
Shana
