Time to breathe... (originally from June 2011)

I was reading on my Bible app the other night and all the verses that were coming up in my reading plan were on freedom. Then I felt like I was smacked in the face with scripture. haha. God has called us to live a life of freedom. No that doesn't mean we can do whatever we want and justify it. He's called us to FREE. Free in Him. Free from pain, hurt, bondage, walls, chains. The list goes on! And I've known this but it was a reminder I needed. I don't need to by tied down by my fears, anxieties and worries because God has called me to be free! I was then reminded of a sermon I listened to and the speaker was talking about being healed and he said that Jesus says, "I didn't come so you could cope. I came so you could be healed and set free." WOOOOAHHHH! Hold it. Jesus didn't come so we could just get by, and just cope with things. He came so we could be healed. I can't even express what that means to me. That's HUGE.
I was talking with a friend yesterday and she had said how she was listening to a sermon recently where the pastor was talking about how everything was made by God and how he spoke the world into existence. He said let there be light and there it was. It was made by his voice. At the smallest level, sound is just vibrations. And at the core of EVERYTHING is sound... which is God's voice. When she told me that I was like wow that's so good and so true. But typing it out now I'm blown away by the realization of that. I was talking with that same friend last week and we were sitting in the park, looking at the beauty of nature and talking about how could you look out and deny there's a God? What beauty He has made. Everything is so uniquely made.
God is so good. SO SO SO SO good.
