The HEART

My mission is true freedom in Christ. Authenticity. Finding your inner man-inner self hidden in God. Who God intended you to be. The more we get to know ourselves, the deeper we go within our hearts with the Lord. And the deeper we know Him, the stronger our bonds with Him are. Our true self is revealed through the trials, through the fire, through asking and allowing God to search our hearts. "Search me Oh God and know my heart, test me and know my anxious thoughts, see of there is any offensive way in me, and lead me in the path everlasting" Psalm 139:23-24. It takes courage to ask God to spotlight our hearts and show us what is hidden deep within, show us who we are. The more He brings what is hidden to the light the more He can heal. The more healing, the more freedom...the more freedom, the more you can be free to be you! The more freedom, the more we can let HIS light shine through us...no blockages or lampshades covering His light within us. "I'm free to be me, and you're free to be you."

Our true self is inside of each of us, just waiting to break free, waiting to be born, waiting to fully come alive to everything He designed us for, individually. The moments of pain and trials show us our strengths and weaknesses...build upon your strengths with the Lord. Delegate your weaknesses and lean on HIM. Whatever you are not, HE will be that for you. We all have an impending birth...coming fully alive to who He always created you to be....it is a process, one day at a time. We never arrive, as apostle Paul said...we are always at the foot of the cross...but growing and maturing up into Christ.

"My comfort would prefer for me to be numb, and avoid the impending birth of who I was born to become"-C.S. Lewis song.

"The more I look inside, the more you mean to me. I see you here, I see you there, feel you everywhere." Some people think it is selfish to delve deep within your heart and go on the journey to learn about your true self. It is actually the most selfless thing you can do. Through delving deep within your heart before the Lord and with the Lord, the more your identity is rooted and grounded in HIM. The more you let Him reveal your heart and heal your heart , the more resources you then have to give others. That self-awareness is crucial and is a part of discovering your destiny. Design=destiny. God wants you to walk in what He has called you for, what He has prepared you for. The path that you walk on will prepare you for what God has prepared for you!

You have to lose your life to find it...give Him your life, your heart, surrender it fully to Him everyday...let Him take the wheel and guide you on your inner and outer journey. You will be amazed and what He is going to show you!!!!

HE cares about the heart, He looks at the heart...so should we! Being open and honest with ourselves is the first step to being open and honest with God.
