No longer a Dragon

He saves us from ourselves. Just like he saved Eustace from being a dragon.

June 25

In my prayer time, I realized I had to stop trying so hard. I had to stop trying to force something to happen. I felt Him telling me to stop striving, relax, and simply make room for HIm. Just be. Stop trying to understand, fix, or plan. Simply trust. I need to come into my time of prayer with no expectation. Give myself grace as I learn to calm and settle my mind. Let go of everything and invite Him to sit with me. As I focus on who God is all else melts away

I am on a journey with God and sometimes it doesn’t look like I thought It should. I still want to do more for Him. So He reminded me today that I am His workmanship, created for His purposes and not mine. I am saved by grace and not by works. God is rich in love, mercy, and grace. He just wants to pour that over me and in me. For that to happen I need to be still. I need to be in a posture of surrender and acceptance. He is everlasting, never changing, and always near. His love for me is everlasting and never-ending, even though I don’t deserve it. My trust and confidence are safe with Him because He will never forsake me. So tonight as we watched the last Narnia movie I understood a little more of why my heart feels so tenderly and deeply when I see Aslan. It is His complete love and acceptance of everyone. He sees past the sin and brokenness and loves each of us for who we will become, who He knows who He created us to be. He saves us from ourselves. Just like he saved Eustace from being a dragon. He is saving me from myself.
