I used to put walls up and act like everything was ok...a lot. I put up an "image" of something I wasnt. I was trying to hide how lost I was to others. I was trying to identify me, listening to what others thought i was or wasnt supposed to be. I couldnt place it..I was lost wandering aimlessly in the woods. I was trying to identify myself in things that werent me.
Ive been doing a lot of reading, prayer, and being vulnerable and sharing things with others. Ive read and heard God has this image of me...something God originally intended me to be; before I got lost in the herd...and trailed off the green pasture, and got stuck in the woods. I lost faith in what God’s image of me was. I need to start having faith in me-the faith I can live up to this person God created me to be. I have the ability, and I need to give up and trust He will find me and put me back in the green pastures when I get lost! I need to trust that God is already putting me back together, to the what He had planned for me. I need to believe what God is saying who I am, and let what He says shape what I think of myself...
For all my mistakes, all my turning my back on God, my rollercoaster ride, and my continual struggle to find myself...it doesnt matter. I realize the point isn’t failing and getting stuck in the woods, but God’s success I'm found and that Hes putting me back to the person He wanted me to be. Im forgiven! God wants me to see who I am and who and what I can be. Not who I once was... God already sees me as an incredible person and I need to believe it. God takes me out of the dark woods, and I can be in green pastures and be me.
Proverbs 3:5-6 5 Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight
