The Road Less Travelled


We are called to a road less travelled.. we are called to step out of the darkness and in to the light.  To be light in places of darkness so that the darkness may no longer be.  Perhaps when God told Joshua to be bold and courageous... fifty million times... do you think maybe He was hinting at what it would take to survive a journey down the road less travelled?

I have come face to face with my fear of speaking light within the darkness this week.  I was afraid... and my fear portrays itself as shame.  Oh how I despise that.   I know to the very depth of my core that light dispels darkness!  So why do I still fear?  

When it comes down to it, I fear any looming hint of rejection.  No one wants to be rejected.  Rejection speaks something to my worth and value... but the words it speaks are coated with filthy lies!

I know who created me, I know why He created me, I know I am created with immense value, worth and beauty, I know His grace is sufficient for me and His mercies are NEW every morning... 

Let the darkness be dispelled by the Light that dwells within my body!!


Peace
Caitlyn

we've been NEEDING a post from you! that passage about joshua is one of my favorites. how much more clear can God be when he says "BE STRONG AND COURAGEOUS, DO NOT BE AFRAID FOR THE LORD WILL BE WITH YOU..." over and over, and we still don't get it sometimes?! great post!
