Today's Scripture
"Since we have such a huge crowd of men of
faith watching us from the grandstands, let us strip off anything that slows us
down or holds us back, and especially those sins that wrap themselves so
tightly around our feet and trip us up; and let us run with patience the
particular race that God has set before us."
[Hebrews 12:1 - TLB]

Today's Word
Give It Up
While on a mission some years ago I witnessed a
malnourished 4 year old child that was wearing the shirt of a 2 year old. The
smelly undersized shirt was so dirty, ripped and tight that it dug deep into
the little arms of this child and it broke my heart to see her in this
condition. After feeding the little girl we presented her young mother with a
new shirt. As she tried to remove the old one the child began to cry and scream
out begging to leave the old shirt alone, she just would not give it up and for
some reason she was horrified, the shirt had become a part of her. While on the
plane returning home I thought about that little girl and as I prayed for her I
realized there are some dirty things that bind our own lives that we too refuse
to give up, things that have become a part of our life and each time we are
presented with a way out, like the little girl, we too are so afraid and
horrified that we might not be able to live or go on, never realizing that some
"issues" no longer fit and are restricting our growth and maturity,
holding us back from being all that God created us to be.
Friend, if you are afraid to give up something that is holding you back from
being all that God created and designed you to be, be encouraged, because God
has a plan for your life and He wants to see it come to pass. Like the little
girl, until you give up the dirty old stuff, He can't dress you in the new
garment of your future. Within you lies God's incredible plan which He created
you to carry out. Sometimes those plans are hindered or blocked from coming to
pass because of "issues" that need to be addressed. So, if you are
struggling in certain areas of your life, trust and believe God
and strip off anything that is slowing you down and holding you back from
fulfilling your purpose, and begin today to live freely and lightly, as you
become all that God your Father intended you to be.

A Prayer For Today
HEAVENLY FATHER, I've been
holding on to some things that I need to give up so that I can go on and live
the life you created me to live, and frankly, I need Your help to overcome. I
believe in my heart that today, being at one with You, I will walk out of those
"things" that have been holding me down for so long and begin to walk
freely as Your child and project Your image wherever I go. In Jesus name. Amen.
