Good Morning Beauties!
You did it! Your 40 Day Journey is now complete. No doubt you experienced a variety of emotions throughout the journey; happy, sad, peace, frustration, exhilaration, boredom. Those feelings are all a part of growth, and in the end, that’s what matters.
Today is a day to spend time reflecting on your journey, your growth, and any action you need to take going forward. Today is also a day to assess the process. Review your preparation and determine how it effected your journey. Were your expectations met? Did your action plans keep the obstacles at bay? Did your motivations keep you going when you wanted to quit? Selah.
I have been on several journeys, and always grow closer to God. This time around my “take away” is to focus on my inner life with Him instead of my external life. All along this journey, the weather seemed to coincide with our daily lyric. Even yesterday, Easter, the weather was sunny. That makes sense for the day of celebration.
But what about today? The weather is dark, rainy, and I hear gently thunder moving closer. God confirmed with me outside forces are going to be different than His nature and power within me. I am filled with His love, I’m at peace, and my spirit is joyful, so I must not take in the darkness from an unkind word, injustice, and overall worldly troubles. The freedom I’ve found in Jesus is here to stay - but I do need to keep my focus on Him and not the world to keep it alive in me.
2 Corinthians 3:16-18 The Message (MSG)
“Whenever, though, they turn to face God as Moses did, God removes the veil and there they are—face-to-face! They suddenly recognize that God is a living, personal presence, not a piece of chiseled stone. And when God is personally present, a living Spirit, that old, constricting legislation is recognized as obsolete. We’re free of it! All of us! Nothing between us and God, our faces shining with the brightness of his face. And so we are transfigured much like the Messiah, our lives gradually becoming brighter and more beautiful as God enters our lives and we become like him.”
Our faces shine brightly with the light of Jesus dwelling inside us. Nothing from this world can take that away from us. The choice is ours to keep it shining. The Spirit is ever drawing you closer and closer, the choice is yours - will you follow? Every blessing we receive is so we may give it away to bless others. Will you bring His light to the world so that others may know Him? Selah.
I pray you have been blessed by your journey experience. If so, will you prayerfully consider supporting this ministry? There are a few ways you can help: Tell a friend and buy her a journal, write about your experience for the website to encourage other women, create a review on Amazon.com, most importantly - pray for God’s work to be done. Thank you!
