Transparent Moment

#TransparentMoment

We’re always hyping ourselves up about reaching the next level but do we even take notice, when we attain it? We desperately seek God for that “next level of———“ but what do we do with it?

Last night, I shared something personal in a women’s bible study group. I attempted to publicly “introduce” myself by presenting a character flaw/weakness to the group. They looked “unmoved” by the comment as if my statement wasn’t a big deal. It’s not that they weren’t concerned but what I presented as a “mountain” was merely a “speed bump” that many shared.

After I opened my big mouth, I felt convicted. The statement no longer fit my present circumstances. Truly, I had been delivered from it without taking notice. I was holding on to a “limp” that was gone. The “limp” was all I had known. It became apart of my identity but it no longer served me in this season. I didn’t even realize that the “limp” was my enabler. It was my excuse not to run. It was reason to lay by the pool. It was my justification for taking residence in the wilderness.

However, I was already running laps daily. I learned to swim earlier in life (I didn’t forget) & I moved out the wilderness a long time ago. So who/what was holding me back? Definitely not the “limp,” it wasn’t even there. What have you allowed to attach to your spirit that no longer serves purpose? Let it go!

Just cause you conceive it in your mind doesn’t make it God’s reality! STOP checking “disabled” as your condition. STOP illegally parking in the handicap spot. STOP limping & walk towards all that God has for you. Don’t be your own hinderance. Take it from someone that’s “walking proof!”

Blessings.
