Still Chosen

Dear Papa,

I tried… I really did! You know it’s been a struggle to stay away but I guess it’s true that a leopard cannot change it’s spots. I thought these desires were supposed to be dead. Am I not crucified with Christ? So why are these thoughts engulfing my mind and why can’t I stop these desires? People seem to have a formula for what I need to do and what I need to change but they can’t see the war that is brewing in my heart and mind. The thoughts flood in like a tsunami and I feel like I’m about to lose control. Who can help me? Who can save me? It looks like there’s no way out! Am I truly more than a conqueror? It sure doesn’t feel like that right now.

I will lift my eyes to the hills and hope with all that I’ve got that I will lay hold of the help You freely give. When I feel overwhelmed and have no words to say, may my heart speak a language that can only be understood by You. Away from prying eyes and lips that are quick to give counsel, may I hear Your voice in the stillness. May I believe the truth that I am not defined by my thoughts or how I feel. I am not even defined by my actions. I am who You say I am! When it comes to my identity, may I be solid in my convictions and push past the dark clouds that try to gather over my head. The clouds that threaten my peace with loud thunder and terrifying lightning. Today, I choose to believe that I am Your child and there is nothing the enemy can do about it. I just want You to know that I believe what You say in those moments I spend with You; when no one else is around and all I hear is Your beautiful voice that calms the raging storm in my mind. I will ALWAYS love You!

                                                                Your Child.

 

Hello Dear Papa Fam!

How are you? I know it’s been a minute but I’m back! Have you ever been in a place where you felt unworthy of God’s love? Have you ever felt like God’s promises are far away? Then this is for you. I just want you to know that God’s love is always constant and no matter how grave the battle may be, He will never leave your side. You will always be loved and chosen by God! Please hold on to His promises. Please share this with others if it’s blessed you. God bless you!
