Dear God,
I am so excited about obeying You! You and I both know there
are sooooo many times I act like I don’t hear you or even just whisper no under my breath thinking that since
no one else heard me say no to you,
then you didn’t hear me say no! I know, I am still kind of like the
toddler who believes if I can’t see you, then you can’t see me when I cover my
eyes!
Thank you for putting in my path today the very circumstance
(“it”) I needed to deal with to be clean and free with you. You put “it” on my
heart a few days ago and I was ready. Each day I have looked for the “it” to
happen, only to go home and wait for the next morning to experience the “it” so
that I could obey! Rarely have I been so ready to obey. I even rehearsed (as you
know) all the ways this could go, but I praise you that I didn’t give in to
fear or even disobedience! You truly are the courage and strength I needed to
do a scary and hard thing! Thank you that “it” went well, but mostly I am heart
singing because I wanted to face and deal with “it” for your honor and your
smile. “It” has been a yoke of slavery and weariness in my heart. “It” has
caused me to avoid and calculate how to not see the “it.” Wow, bondage is
tiring.
God, you are so kind to stay with me day in and day out. I
expect my husband to do it, but you are the icing on my cake of joy. I truly
could go sing and Maria twirl in the public eye right now just to show how
wonderfully clean and free a heart can be!
Being free from ugly is absolutely the best. Now, would you
help me to stay that way and help me to remember this inside freedom and smile
when I even give a glance toward the secret of ugly!
Your free and clean Mississippi daughter,
Tony
