Today was an amazing day. It had an amazing God moment. One that I am still in awe of. One that I couldn’t have made the story up if I tried. I am looking for apartments for a friend who is not in the area yet. On one of my visits to an apartment, I met someone who could have triggered every fiber of my being to want to run from Jesus – straight into the arms of my old and strongest addiction. But that is not what happened. What would have emotionally destroyed me two years ago didn’t phase me now. I walked away with gratitude. I walked away in wonder that I was emotionally whole. When I got home, my body could hardly contain the relief and joy and pleasure that I felt at knowing I was FREE. I don’t want death. I want life. I have decided to follow JESUS and I am so very, very, very glad. I sat on my bed and relished the joy of being free. The last 4-6 weeks have been so hard. My flesh has done its best to try to destroy me. Today when reminded of the death I once experienced on a daily basis, I was overwhelmed by the joy of following Jesus. He is my LIFE.
The boundary lines have fallen for me in pleasant places. Surely I have a delightful inheritance! Psalm 16
