“Go On, Release It!”

“For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.” Jeremiah 29:11

Scripture Contemplation: Proverbs 3; Isaiah 12; Jeremiah 29; Philippians 1; Hebrews 10…

I decree that today’s Reflections be a continued source of encouragement and inspiration to your heart, mind, and soul, and bring comfort, and peace. In the presence of our Heavenly Father, there is peace, joy, and strength. Everything we need to see the truth, to be on the right path, to make the best and sound decisions, is in the presence of God. His will for our lives will always be for the best. We must learn to trust Him. No matter what.

Within us lies many experiences. Some things we probably don't realize exist. There are some of us that experience great joy. Awesome happiness. And, unforgettable love. There is also within us the experiences of much hurt, pain, sadness, regrets, etcetera; things many have probably blocked out because of the pain.

Oftentimes, we walk around trying to evade what is going on within ourselves because it might be too painful to deal with. Yet, the more we try to run from it, bury it, ignore it—the more we hurt. It is time for us to look within ourselves and deal with our issues and release them!

There is no more time to run and hide; life is too short. We must begin to look within and take stock of what is going on, so we may confront and deal with it once and for all.  So we may be healed. We will never be free from what hurts us if we do not face it, confront it, deal with it, and then destroy it. The more we bury it, the bigger it gets, and the more we hurt.

God does not want us filled with all of this pain and hurt. He does not want us to be constantly suffering and hiding. He wants us to be free. To enjoy the life He has destined for us. In order to do this, to live this promised life, we must begin to see within ourselves and take inventory of what's really going on.

Take a look inside, Beloved. Don't you think you're worth it?

Whatever it is today that you just cannot handle, release it! Whatever has been holding you down and giving you pain? Release it! Life is too short to continue to have so many regrets and problems that block and hinder happiness and God's best for you.

What would happen? Really? What would happen, if just for one day you gave up the battle of trying to figure out how to fix that problem or solve that question, and really gave it all to God? You'd experience the promised peace of God.

My Beloveds, may the spirit of peace and prosperity find permanent rest in your lives. I decree that every good thing that God has ordained for your life will become evident to you. I encourage you to release it! Not certain? Then how about at least for today? One day. Take a breather. Go do something that will bring you some joy and pleasure. It might surprise you what will happen if you did. Go ahead, that's right. I dare you to really trust God and release it all! You are blessed. Now go…and be a blessing!
