We've Got It All Backwards.....


Who are we? Where do we come from? What’s our pain, our happiness, our definition of joy? What do we see? How do we interpret and perceive? What do we really want? Define life. Is it sweet memories, or sorrowful abandonment? Is it terrifying? Is it lonely? Does is reek of success and emptiness? Is it longing to have more than this? What gives you peace? What does contentment mean? Do you fight to feel? Do you bleed to live? Do you sacrifice to need? We are all the same inside. We need, we hurt, we cry, we ache, we long, we die. Do you live according to your own thoughts and lies about who you believe you are? Who others think you are? Do you fight everyday for something that never fills your soul? Do you run from your past so fast that you are losing your future? Does your addiction add to your affliction? What am I? Who am I? Where am I? When does this ever end? Right now. Right here. Declare yourself free from your burdens, worries, your pain, the tyranny of memories that holds you hostage. Break away from defining yourself according to this empty & wicked world. We are children of the King. Mighty to believe that our identity is only in the one they call Yahweh. The revolution is no longer coming. It is here. Mighty to believe that our identity is only in the one they call Yahweh. We are the children of the King. Define yourself according to the Word of God. Declare yourself alive in your dreams, desires, happiness, and life. Right here. Right now. This ends. You are here. You are in Christ. You are lifted up. Your afflictions don’t have to become addictions. Run to your future so fast that you lose your past. Fight for yourself for your soul is already full. Who do you think others are? Live and believe who you are according to how your Savior loves you. We live, we find, we rest, we sing, we heal, we have. We are all the same inside. He sacrificed for us to have. He bled so we live. He fought so we feel. We are content in Him. He gives us peace. He gives us more than this. We have fulfillment in success in Him. We are no longer alone. We are no longer terrified. We have abandoned our sorrows. We have such sweet memories. Life is Christ. Freedom. Through Grace. Eternity. We are joyful, happy, and healed. We come from Love. We are…..ALIVE.
