Release the ashes...the wrongs done to you

Release the ashes...the wrongs done to you. Wrong things were done to you...you are not wrong. You hold on to the memories that chain you to the past-an ongoing recall of what you believe about you because of what someone did to you or told you. You continue to replay the voices over and over in your head. God loves you-you're His masterpiece! Whatever you've done or whatever was done to you-bring it before God...give it to Him. Allow His love to soothe you and cleanse all your wounds. Stop looking to others to make you okay-you will be disappointed each time. Others can't heal you...only Jesus can. He wants to give you beauty for the wrongs you've been carrying-release your grip. Let go of the replays in your mind... all the lies that tell you that you're not good enough. Hand the lies to Jesus-He will give you His approving love in exchange. God's mighty to save...He will quiet you with His love and rejoice over you with singing. You're uncomfortable receiving love with no conditions attached-you learned that love had to be earned. God loves you because you are you...He loved you before you ever knew Him. He chose you-knitted you together in your mother's womb. Lift your head- look around and look up...your Father is smiling-He desires for you to know how much you are loved by Him. God's love for you is not measured by what you've done...good or bad; He loves you because that's what He does-God is love. Make a decision to believe God-allow the Holy Spirit to heal your spirit and help you transform your mind every day through God's Word. Let God love you today-He's waiting... are you willing?
