Dear Long-Lost Soul,
I need to write. I need to express how I feel right now. I have to scream. I must shout. I am not angry but simply trying to break free. I want to let loose. I want to open the floodgates of my heart and exercise my pains. I want to reveal myself. I want exposure. I want to be explored and I need some closure. I just need someone to tell me it's all going to be alright. Yet, you see, I am not hopeless or anything, I just feel a little unconquered. I believe there is more of me that needs to be set free. I think I've been holding back. I haven't accessed all that is me.
But I realize what this is all about...
I am located in the kingdom of God. That is where I find my identity. The moment I said yes to Him, I set myself loose. He proclaimed me free. A daily walk with God often involves Him exposing me to who He created me to be from the beginning of time. He tries to get me to remember the beauty of me before the stain of sin. He reminds me that all that I need is found in Him. I don't have to look outside of my relationship with God to find what I need. Every good gift is from the Lord. There is no blessing in my life that doesn't sprout from His mighty hand. He provides me with all that I need and more than I could ever think to ask Him for. His grace is more than sufficient enough for me at any and all times, no matter what.
So, I know where to find me. I know where to go when I think I am lost. I can locate myself when a distance has taken root from the source. If I feel lonely, it's because I am not going back to where I belong. If I feel trapped, it's because I have not embraced the grace He's given me. I find myself in my relationship with God because He alone has the blueprint to my identity. He alone has conquered my lands. He alone can led me to what I still have yet to discover about me.
If you ever felt like me, as if you were unexposed territory itching to be trekked upon, understand that your fulfillment to discover and cover yourself will only be satisfied through Him. Only God can show you the depths of your grounds and only He can teach you how to access all that is you.
I desire to go access all that is me. It's a journey worth taking but only with Him at my side.
Love,
Stephanie
