Epicness

We go to weddings and most of us feel the thrill of the epic event.  It's emotional and reminds some of us of the Lord Jesus who pursued us until we trusted in Him.  We became His and gained everlasting freedom.

After it all dies down, everyone goes home and life begins its mundane and normal patterns.
But that is where the epicness really is.  Moving through the mundane and normal with trust and confidence in Him, overcoming the world one small step at a time.

Who is he that overcomes the world but he that believes that Jesus is the Son of God?

His quiet deliverance through the daily grind is the supporting canvas that will display God's glory and lasting power in our lives.  Those small insignificant moves that seem pointless, the existence through the tiring moments that don't produce tangible benefit.  Knowing that He is enough for everything from the dramatic to the dull.

Father Wounds Healed

Kate Hudson is a celebrity who is known to have father wounds from her biological dad.   He didn't turn out to be someone she could trust.

Recently, when she had an outing in the wild with Bear Grylls, Kate summed up her experience with Bear near the end of the recorded episode.  She directly targeted what has been missing in her life:
"When you have someone you can trust, it's everything," she said as she broke down emotionally.

There is Someone we can trust and He is everything.  His arms are wide open for you to believe and run into them.  You might be born again.  Are you still struggling with inner difficulties, not trusting in Him to be everything - really everything?

Thoughts come in that you have to be in charge of your own righteousness.  "I have to do better, others are telling me so."  You are convinced that your own "right hand" must deliver you.  Apparently, that isn't happening.

That is not your job.

Sadly, our own right hand can only work self harm, (as it also burdens those around us).

Give up on yourself and be free.  Only Jesus Christ is enough to deliver.  Truly trust Him, His love, goodness and power.  Be richly rewarded.  See how He is all sufficient to heal father wounds and anything else that enslaves us.
