Day 9: Fly Unafraid




The question was posed~

“ What would you do if you weren’t afraid?”

Hmm..

I know this answer sounds so Christian~ese,

but it is what truly came in my heart,

because I knew if I did the following

then I would never be afraid to do anything.

My answer~

TOTAL ABANDONMENT TO GOD!

To TRUST GOD fully with

my THREE PERSONS~

ME, MYSELF and I

and with

EVERYONE ELSE!

Oh the FREEDOM that makes you

SOAR

when you LIVE your SECONDS

in ABANDONMENT OF SELF~

"To abandon ourselves to GOD

 means that we must leave ourselves alone.

We must take our hands off of ourselves,

and fall unconditionally into HIS hands." (Depra)

Oh how I wish I would ALWAYS LIVE like this

 in every SECOND.

But because I am way too human

I FORGET to

BE STILL AND KNOW THAT GOD IS GOD

and I am not.

As I love putting THE WORD into action,

it was time to LET GO again,

because I was starting to HOLD ONTO

too much of me,

as I was listening to me

and all the lies in my head

that did not match up with THE TRUTH of WHO I AM IN CHRIST.

So I went to my favorite place on this earth,

the beach,

 and picked up

an empty

Mussel Shell

that was still hinged together.

I stood at the water's edge.

As I prayed, I started to detach the shell,

picturing one side representing me

and

the other side representing everything else that I am attached to.

And then it happened.

GOD HAPPENED.

Right before the break

I looked at the shell

and

saw how it looked like a

BUTTERFLY

getting ready to

FLY FREE

as a NEW CREATION.

A BUTTERFLY doesn't crawl,

like it did as a caterpillar

when it is was

dreaming about the day

it would have wings

and would be set FREE TO FLY.

Hmm.

"Therefore, if anyone is in CHRIST, the new creation has come:

The old has gone, the new is here!"

 (2 Corinthians 5:17).

Are you ready to

 FLY

as HIS NEW CREATION,

even if you feel like you don't have anything to

FLY about?

But you DO.

Because LIVING IN CHRIST

is where the IMPOSSIBLE becomes POSSIBLE.

"I can do all things [which HE has called me to do] through HIM who strengthens and empowers me [to fulfill HIS purpose—I am self-sufficient in CHRIST'S sufficiency;

I am ready for anything and equal to anything through

HIM who infuses me with inner strength and confident peace]

(Philippians 4:13 AMP).

This is your SECOND

to open your wings

with

TOTAL ABANDONMENT

to the

ONE

who has given

you wings

to

FLY UNAFRAID, 

no matter what you may be feeling,

no matter what you may not have,

and

no matter what you are waiting to happen or to unhappen.

It is TIME TO DETACH

from whatever is weighing down you wings

by

ATTACHING to the ONE who enables you to FLY

 because

 "Those who wait for the LORD [who expect, look for, and hope in HIM]

Will gain new strength and renew their power;

They will lift up their wings [and rise up close to GOD]

like eagles [rising toward the sun]; They will run and not become weary,They will walk and not grow tired" (Isaiah 40:31).

PERMISSION TO FLY

because

IN CHRIST

you are

"A NEW CREATION"
