I had been out of commission for a very long time. I was wounded - my father was murdered and my husband unfaithful. I was beaten and battered on every side.
It's okay to Be wounded, it's NOT okay to stay wounded - by his stripes we are healed in all ways - phyically, mentally, and spiritually and even though it doesn't "feel" true (God says to count our feelings as nothing), it is a choice.
Recently, I've chosen to be healed and serve God. I want and NEED to serve God in order to be whole. Even before all of the above, I had been told by counselors that I could never really hope to be normal - I'd been through too much. I resisted that lie - Jesus never walked up on anyone and said, well Gee you are just too broken.
I am DONE - I am done being battered and laying down - I have picked up my sword and my shield and I fully intend to engage the enemy when he comes my way. When I am attacked I will fight for the kingdom harder. I will not hesitate - I will not look back.
If you've been battered - this day choose life - you can always find somone worse off if you are willing to look.
This train is leaving the station and I am FINALLY on it - jump on board - there's plenty of nice seats left with a great view
