I listened as the words flowed. There was sorrow, disappointment and discontent. As I heard my lack of joy, I felt ashamed. I had accepted my path. I had held on the Lord’ s character. I believed in his sovereignty, his love, his righteousness. I knew He had a plan. So why where my words filled with such disillusion?
What my mind knew, my emotions had not adopted. I understood that out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks; Luke 6:45. I ran to my Lord and asked for mercy. For I realized my emotions had not come to terms with his truth. I grieved as I spend time in His refuge.
And then He revealed what I had never known. All this time in confinement wondering about his purpose, and in a manner of minutes He chose to reveal a piece of my puzzle. And then there it was; Victory. Victory over what ailed me. Victory over what I would never have chosen to face but by his grace. My Lord’s desire was that I would live free. So believe when I say: when He sets you free, You are free indeed! John 8:36
