New beginnings always start with shifting the old mindset, sometimes this isn't easy. I embarked on my new journey by releasing one circumstance or situation at a time. I owned up to my responsibilities and realized that I am my worst enemy. No one has that much power over you, we tend to fault and point fingers about our failures, mishaps and downfalls on other people, could it have been that we were apart of the journey? Did we allow them to be in control of our Destiny? Did you allow them to have the power you should have captivated for yourself? It's hard to step in a new beginning. At least it was for me, even my relationship was hard to embrace. I knew God had sent this man to be my savior, protector , satisfier, and my sanctifier here on earth. Jesus was my first love. The word of God said my (husband) is required to love me , like Christ loved the church. That's an undieing love. Truly, he has own up to this, I brought so much pain and agony to our relationship, so much was hidden in my heart, nontheless, we made it and we're still progressing to progress. But, in return I'm required to respect him as his wife and collaborator, and to come along side him and build for the kingdom of God. New beginnings, starts with new mindsets, new perspectives and hope.
Romans 6:4
Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.
I challenge you to release any pain, burdens and past failures and trust Jesus for possibilities, hope, and opportunities. Let the favor and grace of God captivate you today.
Loving like Christ
