Daily Devotional

The Lord Jesus wants to set us free from our burdens, our worries, the heart ache of loss, the destructive habits and wrong-doing in our personal lives that not only harms ourselves but harm others. He wants to purify our hearts and renew our minds so we can freely choose to love and do what is right, good, just, and wise- the more our minds are clear the easier it becomes to listen to his guidance, the easier our choices become to make. 

We find ourselves becoming selfless and loving, patient and understanding, we start to see ourselves from the view of all of Gods creations. God is ready to change and purify our hearts through the grace and help of the Holy Spirit that dwells within us all. Like a physician who probes the wound before treating it, God through his Word and Spirit brings our issues into the light so that we may recognize it for what it truly is and call upon his mercy and grace for a pardon, healing, and restoration. The Spirit of truth is our Counselor and Helper. His power and grace enables us to choose what is best and to reject what will not serve our highest good. It takes great faith to trust and believe in the power of God's love to heal, change, and transform our heart and mind and it takes courage to ask and do what is best for our God and not what our egos will think is best for us. 

To trust in the Lords plan is to let go of wanting control and to allow life to flow freely through us with full acceptance, with an open heart and with deep understanding that no matter what happens - we are victorious.
