God's promise to ME!

Psalm 121:7, "The Lord will keep you from all harm--He will watch over your life."
Elizabeth: God's Promise!

My story begins at 19, when a discontentment with a sibling turned into an ugly fight for survival. The result a lost battle with bruises and scars both physical and emotional. Moreover, the worse of all was a lost child...mine. I was pregnant at 19 with my first child and lost it because of rage. I wasn't ready to be a mom but I wasn't ready for anything at that point. I just wanted to survive. I am not proud of the decisions I made but it's all part of my journey. And now I understand, why. Because many times I asked myself, why me Lord? I came from a good home, my parents taught me respect, they worshiped you!...Nevertheless, I made my own choices and one of those choices landed me in this situation. I take full responsibility for my actions, it was nobody else's fault but mine. From that point on I began to see the world in a different way, a world that surrendered itself to suffering and pain. I hadn't known that world before and never wish to go back there again. I went through many more heart aches after that, He wanted to remind me that it was HE or nothing more than that. I came to a place where life didn't matter anymore--and I said with my own lips 'God please take me away from this agonizing place'. It was at that point when He grabbed my attention and my life began to take a special rotation. You see, God takes me back sometimes to remind me to surrender what's not mine but HIS. To give up my past that tries to linger into my present and wants to sneak its ugly head toward my future. He takes me back to remind me that nevertheless the circumstances HE was there then and HE is still with me now. It's freedom time HE says...it's time to let go of what happened and let healing come from within. Forgive those who have hurt you and let me heal your pains, your future doesn't have room for sorrow and strains. Now, I am 29...ten years have passed and true healing has taken it's dwelling place. It's been a long journey to get here and it continues to teach me to RELY on GOD alone because HE will make it alright. God promises me life an abundant life (John 10:10), the devil only wants to take life away from me. I have come to an understanding that the enemy hates me so much that he wants to destroy my life. He wants to take my life because he knows that I have God. And since he cannot take his old life back he wants me to share in his agonizing future. I choose today not to listen to my enemy, I choose today to have and abundant life, I choose today to live in freedom that only my Christ can give me. My dear reader choose today to allow God into your heart, life doesn't get easy but HE makes it easy to live it. The circumstance can seem big but my God is GRAND! I worship a mighty God that LOVES ME, I worship a KING that crowns me as HIS princess, I worship a father that caresses my pains away. Give God an opportunity and I guarantee you He will guide you and allow you to dwell in his majestic presence FOREVER.
