This past month, the Lord has really been slicing things from my life that I don't need in my walk with Him or things that are getting in my way of building a deeper relationship with Him. Things that are taking time away from Him. I've always lived life alone, with only my family to support me when I needed them.
I have a tendency to cling, always have, but the Lord is making sure that I stop clinging to others in place of Him. I know to some I may seem hard hearted, arrogant, selfish (and I am, we all are to some extent -- we're evilly human), but, in truth, I am just not fighting what the Lord is trying to accomplish in my life.
Listen: I've been praying all year that the Lord would make me real for Him, make me ready for His soon return, and He is. If I end up alone, without people on this earth (including my family), so be it. If that is what God wants, then I know He has a plan for that. I don't need to answer to anyone on this earth. I voluntarily surrendered my life to Jesus when I rededicated my life to Him five years ago. I am not here to please others and make others feel good. That's something I can't do because I'm human, I'm flawed, and my heart is wicked because I still sin, make mistakes, say the wrong things, do the wrong things, think the wrong things.
I want to be independent of this world and dependent on Him. We don't have much time left, and I want Jesus to fulfill His Purposive Will and Master Plan for my life.
As I lose myself in Christ, I find myself: who I was meant to be, the plan I'm supposed to follow, and a fullness and acceptance that goes beyond all human understanding.
I've given up trying to hang onto people. If it's time to let go, why should I fight it? I will gladly, joyfully do what Jesus wants me to do in whatever situation He puts me into.
