Choosing to surrender…

2 Comments

Anxiety and fear had been a thief, literally stealing my joy. It jumbled up my thoughts, and caused my heart to race, leaving me with many sleepless nights and a just below the surface agitation that made me want to crawl out of my skin and run away.

The last two years have been life altering and I am learning what it means to release my need to control and to put my complete trust in God. There are good days and difficult ones, but I choose to take things, one step at a time, as I receive His peace.

Peace I leave with you, my Peace I give you. Not as the world gives. Don’t let your hearts be troubled and don’t be afraid.

John 14.27.

Layers upon layers…

As you bravely,

peel back,

each layer,

revealing

the deep roots

of secrets that

have gracefully

been hidden

beneath the pain

of stories untold.

There in this place

is where you have

remained concealed.

Surrender,

and allow

His light

and grace

to heal that

sacred space

in which you’ve

kept hidden.

No need to perform…

Look at me

Notice me

See me

The whirlwind of

attention seeking

Performance based

Gratification.

Sharing your

Every move

With more strangers,

Than friends.

The scrolling trap,

leads to the

constant comparing

and viewing of

seducing images,

Which keeps the mind trapped

in chasing the

next dopamine high.

It only takes

a quick flick

of the thumb,

a simple swipe

to bring instant

temporary satisfaction.

Thousands of followers

Likes and friend requests,

Yet the emptiness your

seeking to fulfill

is a futile attempt

to fill the void

for significance,

which continues

to go unmet.

You were created for SO much more…
