“Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price.”- 1 Corinthians 6:19-20
As Sara Horn concludes Chapter 1 of How Can I Possibly Forgive?, she states that if there is a lesson that she’s learned as a result of the most recent experiences and journeys God has taken her through, it is that her life is not her own. Having Christ in our hearts means complete surrender of our wills to His. Overlooking the hurts and grievances that have come from other people is part of that surrender.
Perhaps, Sara notes, we have been praying for years that God would heal our deep, lingering wounds and scars, so we could move on with our life. What we may not realize is that God already is working on those scars, on that healing. Sara emphasizes that God is just waiting for us to meet Him halfway:
“Jesus may be asking something of you today as he prepares to heal your heart, as he helps you let go and get ready to move on from the things keeping you from living the fuller life he desires for you.”
We need to stop listening to the white noise and start listening for God’s voice.
Today’s question: What is keeping you from living the fuller life Christ desires for you? Please share.
