When God invited me into His love..
He didn’t require anything, and I didn’t try so hard. I just leaned into His love and trusted what He had to tell me and reveal to me. He tells us that we won’t receive the Kingdom of God unless we enter in like children. Children who trust Him, depend on Him, abide in Him, follow Him, and obey Him. While some things God made me examine in myself had me feeling sorrowful towards the way I was living, He gave me space to let the bad things go. And He gave me wisdom and grace to grow in Him. I slowly became dedicated to honoring Him the closer I got to Him. I struggled to let go of the darkness that had consumed me: sexual immorality, greed, foolish talk, and idolatry. I didn’t want these things to have control over me or be tied to me. My flesh was so weak, but my spirit was overly willing. I needed the power of God to renew me. Shame is never the answer. Satan, the accuser, is good at his job, and I was helping him. Until I remembered God’s love. God loves us so much. God doesn’t just tell us what darkness is; He also tells us why it’s bad. When Jesus tells us to leave what we know and return to Him, it’s for our own good and because He loves us.
