Joni
Revelation #3: Pack it Up

"All my bags are packed and I am ready to go"~
the words from the song
I'm Leaving on a Jet Plane
are playing in my head as
my family is leaving our
Christmas Vacation in Hawaii
today.
Everything is packed,
but what am I leaving behind?
Just because I am
on a
beautiful island
doesn't mean that everything is perfect,
because I still have to deal with me.
The me inside
that fights against
who God made me to be.
So God did a work in my heart
and
Revealed
to me
some stuff that I have to leave behind,
to not take home with me.
All my bags are packed
and I am leaving pieces of Joni
behind that get in the way of
living the abundant life that
Jesus has come to bring,
so that
you & I
can experience
the fruit
as a
Child of the King.
I have exchanged my baggage for
Truths
that
reveal to me
who God wants me to be.
Has God revealed to you anything
that you need to
Put Off~
Let Go ~
in any of the moments
of a minute ago
an hour ago
a day ago
a month ago
a year ago?
All my bags are packed
All your bags are packed
and am leaving behind

Let's make
Revelation #3~
Letting Go ~
Change every
Moment
into a
New Moment
filled with
the
Peace that transcends all understanding~ Philippians 4:7
and
"let us throw off everything that hinders
and the sin that so easily entangles.
And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us
fixing our eyes on
Jesus~
the Pioneer and Perfecter of faith.
For the joy set before
Him
He endured the cross,
scorning its shame,
and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.
Consider Him
who endured such opposition from sinners,
so that you will not grow weary and lose heart.
Hebrews 12:1-3
