Day of Reflection
New Life’s Journey
Good Morning Beauties!
Thank you for joining me here one more time to reflect on our entire journey experience. The last 40 days have brought me to Jesus through a challenging time in my life. Each morning, I looked forward with anticipation, even when I wasn’t feeling my best, to spending time in God’s presence as He transformed me yet again.
What about you? When reflecting on the attributes of your beauty, do you now believe you are lovely, joyful, royalty, redeemed, righteous, purity, and a child of God? How did God change you, your thinking, your beliefs? Are you able to pinpoint a day where He used the lyric to bring the truth you’ve been needing to hear and accept? Grab your journal and write a list of the truths you now believe instead of the lies. (Perhaps you’ve been keeping this list throughout your journey.) Selah.
Take time to CELEBRATE that list!! You have worked hard for this growth. You have moved beyond your comfort level, and dedicated yourself to a life change. Congratulations!
“For we don’t live for ourselves or die for ourselves. If we live, it’s to honor the Lord. And if we die, it’s to honor the Lord. So whether we live or die, we belong to the Lord.” Romans 14:7-8 (NLT)
This marvelous new life we’ve been given by Christ is lived for His honor and glory. We live fully for Him, meaning we wholly surrender our rights to Him. This life of surrender is where we find true freedom. We’ve spent a little time already talking about surrender, but it’s vitally important to our ability to live the life Jesus died to give us - one of complete surrender and freedom.
Has the 40 Day Journey helped your process of surrender? Has the revelation shown by God allowed you to hand over more of your life to Him? Are you still holding on to the control of certain areas of your life? It’s not too late. Why not release it today? Selah.
Remember the saying we’ve all heard before - we’re blessed to be a blessing. Jesus always freed the captives so they could go free others. Jesus was never selfish and taught His disciples to always be mindful of how they could help others.
If you’ve been blessed by this 40 Day Journey experience, will you tell others? Will you want the other women in your life to share in the freedom you’ve found? Would you consider sharing your story on my website to encourage others? Perhaps sharing a journal with a friend and going through your next journey with her. Please pray and ask God to speak to you about sharing His love with others you know? Selah.
Let’s take all the blessings of our transformation and continue our journey with the freedom of new life. Today, let’s say “yes” again to our glorious Savior, Jesus Christ.
