Taking my inward journey for the second year on the row now, paved the way for deeper understanding to the world around me. Shutting down many negative voices that were aimed to bring me down , isolating me in a zone of unstable mentality as I said before , it is the warfare when the enemy sees something within you and you are ignorant about it. It has been a very rocking journey,when you don't have a deep belong to certain family or group that you grow up with, walking with the unknown in a strange land, meeting with many different groups are different from you in race, color or even religion. You move from being on the land of freedom , the land the welcome the whole world within its walls, give you a second chance of life, freedom to worship and believe the way you want as by all means you are a human, and this is the main core of the land of freedom and what it was founded on. Giving you the hope to have a whole new life practicing the right of freedom of faith and speech.
Iam so blessed to touch the land of freedom and acceptance for humanity.This is the great umbrella that the law protect refugees like me inside its walls. I have been touched with so many believers who love the lord and serve him with all the heart , mind and soul.This is their life and this is their call.
" Therefore, all things whatever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them; for this is the law of the prophets. Enter in at the narrow gate; for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be who go in that way; because narrow is the gate, and hard is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it." Matthew 7: 12
And that is the true journey with Jesus. Understanding the way. Walking with a clear lens and vision of where you are and who do you belong to. Understanding doesn't mean you walk blindly without questioning and attempt to discern what Jesus would say in each situation. Arguments led to a deep fall of misuse, misunderstood, labeled,walking in a very rough mountain without understanding what all this all about and here comes the proof of God's word. The way that leads to destruction is not the way of Jesus. To hurt one another is not the way of Jesus.The noise goes loud and loud, the confusion leads you to a whole journey of pain and hurt , and you can not say it loud. I took it in and yet started to allow my body to react upon all these loud noise and here you cry out and say it loud. This is not the way of Jesus.I refuse to believe any of these delusional stories, the enemy is attacking you as the battle is not with you , it is with who created you.Job knew that, David knew that, Jeremiah ,Daniel and all the saints who were defeated many times by the sin of man. Yet , the way you answer to this spiritual attack the enemy desires, the more you defeat yourself.
So, understanding your journey, your way which align with the one who called you by name, sets you on a solid ground and that is your battle, to stand your ground, to fight the good fight, to persevere and you know who do you belong to, who you are serving. Your presence is a witness for His goodness, grace, kindness, love and acceptance to you the moment He created you. If you don't mean something to the world, you mean something to Him. Turn your eyes to Him, call for Him to teach you, to lead you and guide you through the way.He is worthy to be followed.
So, when Iam faced by opposition , disagreement, rejection , being labeled or judged, I remember what Journey Jesus had to take to the whole world not only me to be saved. This revealing open my eyes how I see the world and who i serve. My way is different, my mind is different, my race is different, yet Jesus came so the whole world can be saved and I know He saved me. what a revealing comforting truth to experience God's word in real life.
When freedom starts from within what a peaceful truth to reach, since you walk in the journey of going deeper to understand who you are and why you are here on earth, we may lose our strength and here he glorifies His strength within you. Through Him and for Him you are found and this is the primary truth that I learnt through the pains and hurt thanks to all those who are helping me to understand and build my foundation on a solid ground ,It is not over yet, so true.
