Last week, I struggled with a spirit of bitterness chained to me like fetters on my ankles. I was a slave to my own pride and let it throw me around. Last week, I fell into temptation without much of a fight and put myself in situations not glorifying to the Lord. Last week, I didn’t even really read the Word and spiritually bummed around.

But then Jesus was like “nuh uh.”

As I have been asking for my own spiritual awakening in the past weeks, I praise God that I have been especially sensitive to the Holy Spirit in this time of sight clouded by world, flesh, and pride. God allowed me to experience a small tear in my fabric which would have easily torn through me completely, but he let me hear it before that happened.

Today, I’m victorious in him. That spirit of bitterness is absolutely gone, gone, gone like Justin Beiber. I’ve been able to make choices of repentance, which feels absolutely freeing and has actually revealed to me more beauty in what I’m a part of. Today, I read the Word and just… received. As if I don’t receive enough.

Tis so sweet to trust in Jesus, just to take him at his word.
