Fearless Daughter

I am fearless because of the gift of Christ, who conquered sin and defeated death upon the cross. Deuteronomy 31:6 "Be strong and of good courage, do not fear nor be afraid of them; for the LORD your God, He is the One who goes with you. He will not leave you nor forsake you." I am a daughter because of Psalm 68:5 "Father of the fatherless and protector of widows is God in his holy habitation."

Relief

Start here. Start where it feels natural to pour out my whys, my whens, my whattheheckamievendoings. I process these thoughts with wary relief. I am learning to reject the constant need to build, buy, consume and it feels like when I am back it all returns. The constant self-improvement, the perfection, the exhaustion, the overwhelming sense of lost control, it's gripping the life from my soul and I want so badly to be free. The resurrection from the dead holds power over the finality that used to be my fate. There is such joy and grace, confidence and hope in the name of Jesus. My Savior and King who paid it all. There is no other name by which I am free, by which I am saved, Jesus I beg you now to declare to my soul like David said to God in Psalm 35 "Say to my soul, 'I am your salvation!'" How glorious a statement to comfort my exhausted soul. I need my Savior, I need His calm, loving, gentle words to hold my broken heart. What a glorious hope that is not seen. What a gift!
