So Job went through it, no one can deny that,The man lost literally everything! His story changes how people see hard times and the perspective they have. And this moring during worship God popped the thought of Job in my mind and when I think of Job I always think of him scraping his sores with broken pottery. It gives me the chills and to be honest grosses me out. Im way too much of a visual thinker so I picture things pretty well in my mind,so that thought can be graffic. But thats not my point. My point is that when God was showing me this and Job he showed me my past and how I wear it like sores and wounds. I have gaint boils,scares, cuts and holes all over my spirit.
I've told my self that I have forgotten and forgiven,but the truth is I hold my past against everyone in it. I walk around pointing at the boil that represents them saying"look what you did to me!" Or "I just wanted to be expected and you hurt me" that wound is deep. But why do I let it stay open and not heal. Why don't I scrap this crud off of me? I have more than ive wanted, a husband and a life that is filled with purpose. The truth is ive let those boils and bruises stay because I thought I deserved them. Ive always felt less than everyone else in the world. I never feel like I fit in anywhere. I was a shy poor kid with a learning disability growing up, then I was the fat tall girl in high school, and as a younger adult I was anorexic and labeled a slut by my own family. Very few people looked at me and really saw who I am. So I forgot who I was and just thought I was all those labels. My boils made me. But today for the first time I took my broken piece of glass and scrapped off all the junk that hurt me. My wounds can now heal! I can see who I really am. And you can do the same!! You were made beautiful, smart, and you are truly amazing. Too amazing to fit in with the rest of the world. Things in your past sucked,but you are better and stronger than those things. Scrap off your boils don't sit in the ashes of the past. Stand up and claim your victory over your life and future! You are a world changer and a champion! Don't let a wound hold you back and make you afraid of success any longer. I know I won't!
If you want to be set free from your boils pray the following prayer and do it out loud so the world can hear the prayer and declaration of a warrior the fights for God's kingdom!
Prayer:
Lord, I ask you to help me. Help me to heal. Help me no longer see my boils as who iam,but to see what you see when you look at me. I claim victory over my life and the purpose you have for me. And I will fight for your kingdom with my life. I will love you with all I am and do your will. For iam healed by your blood! And I love you Lord. Thank you for this life and the blessings you have and will give me. Amen!
