Day twenty-three: Only Jesus can break your defenses

Heyaa!

I bring you greetings from my office...(yes, I am still here. This is my last task before I leave tonight)

I have heard somewhere people (especially my sisters) saying things like, "I'm waiting for the one (man) who is capable of breaking down my defenses or my walls, etc.). Truth is, it was one of the things I was also looking out for in my husband...(this is in the past)

And oftentimes, we associate "the one" with this kind of attribute.

Well before I proceed to my main contribution, let me just say that some men make it their goal to break down the defenses of a lady just so that they can use you and run away; they make this their lifelong goal till they achieve it. And so, let us not be too quick to give these temporary people permanent positions in our lives.

Let us get this right.
Only Jesus can break the walls we have put up as a result of our past hurts.
Who we permit to break down our defenses is very important: we cannot just let anybody do that work but Jesus Christ. 

Our freedom is safe when placed in the hands of Jesus.
The fullness of life we are called to live as Royals depends on how vulnerable we are to allow Jesus touch the softness of our hearts.

I know it is hard to expose your tenderness.
I know it is scary to allow Jesus to touch your heart.
But He has the hands of Gold.
With great care, He will hold your heart even better than an egg.
You, my dear, can trust that He will not break your heart.
He loves you.

Will you allow Him to touch your heart with His love?
Trust me, it will be you exposing your truth to the Truth.
You will be in your highest state of vulnerability and yet, you will be in the safest hands.

Do not look out for a man to break your defenses.
Look to Jesus. 
Your truth is safe with Him.

Oh, that our hearts may be rendered unto You, Jesus.
That we will trust Your heart concerning us. 
That we may believe that You love us deeply.
That we may know that You delight in us living freely, the life You have lived for us.

Jesus...

Help us Holy Spirit, to allow Your soft hands to keep our hearts.
We look to You.

You Are Our Safety.

Go With God

When I started Sharing Life, my intention was to put out what I knew Holy Spirit was teaching me. This was what He asked me to do. It wasn't to parade myself as an all-figured-out girl who was on her way to becoming a preacher.  It was a journey of life I was learning and one which I had received the go-ahead to let the world in on.  Somewhere on this road, I was seen as a "Woman of God" and put on this high and mighty pedestal which wasn't me.  And you know what, in such moments, it is so easy to get carried away by the accolades of men to the point where you lose sight of your journey, where you are and decide to serve the expectations of others... thereby neglecting your own journey and growth.  After taking a very long break from active writing, I have on numerous occasions attempted to start writing again but the fear of being put on that pedestal has stopped me so many times.  I am a child of God. I am a girl on a journey. I don't have it all f...

My journey with Holy Spirit

This might probably be the longest I will ever publish. Here we go... Senior High School I started my relationship with Holy Spirit in St. Louis Senior High School. At that time, my father was going through a bit of a struggle and I didn't want to be a burden to him. I had made a terrible decision to combine my chopbox with a friend's and when my provisions finished, I couldn't call home. I was sad and I remembered that daddy had told me that if I ever wanted to change and be a better human, I should start by reading the "Book of Proverbs".  I came across Wisdom and I prayed for that Friendship and then someway somehow, I believed that I was never alone and that I had a Friend with me and that was when I starting fellowshiping with Holy Spirit.     Prior to this, I remember when I was in class 6, I heard Someone share His heart with me. He asked me, " Why is it that when people have problems, they tell their friends about it and then their fr...

3 Things I Admire About King David

  Hello Sharing Life fam! How is the going? I hope everything is kosher. One of the things I am most thankful for is to be a member of the Word & Spirit Feasts family. At the Word & Spirit Feasts, we have learnt how important structure is as we endeavour to be all that ABBA has called us to be. One of the principles that make a good spiritual structure is Bible Reading. I just finished 1Kings Chapter 2 and would like to share 3 things I admire about King David. 1.       King David did not entertain guilt and condemnation I have learnt that one thing the devil specialises in is condemnation. He is the accuser of the brethren for a reason. His commitment is in ensuring that we stay feeling bad for wrong done. One thing my spiritual father would say is: the devil will accuse of not doing the right thing and when you do the right thing, he will accuse you that it is not enough. That is what he does best. But, we see in 2Samuel 11 tha...
