~ Joy in : FREEDOM

Posted 26th January 2009 at 08:47 PM

I have been really dwelling on the valuing of my freedom in You, Jesus, more and more lately. I am conscious that You are not upstairs, slapping Yourself in the head, saying, "I can't believe she DID THAT !?!" Cause, You know me inside out, top to bottom, front and rear, yesterday through tomorrow. I NEVER surprise You when I am a mess and choose poorly....THANKS FOR THAT, Jesus. Thanks for loving me anyway.

THIS FACT ABOVE adds to my awareness of my freedom in You and my ability to receive Your forgiveness more readily. That's an uncommon thing, I've learned. It makes me giving and brave, because I don't fear to 'mess up,' disappoint and derail myself. I AM trying to learn to curb my freedoms and avoid making OTHERS MESS UP through my intemperate example for You, though.

Anyway.... Because I have been focusing on all this a LOT in the past couple of years... I found this old Jewel song perfect today. She's a great work of art, herself, Jesus. You done good on her.

Love you bunches and scillions and scoods, Jesus... Sha. Amen
