Hey, wow. So I Haven’t made a blog in so long because I was fed up of abuse. Long story short, we had The Cave on Saturday and a mind blowing preach on Sunday and it was like a smack in the face.
The Cave, wow. Now those 13 hours were the best in my life, not because of the best ever creatives or the extreme wildfire worship, or the all round boom throughout the day; but because of the revelation.
I realised that I don’t need to worry about what other people think, because other people didn’t die for me.
I realised that when Jesus gave his life for me and took everything on the cross with him, it meant that I didn’t have to pick up any offence from anyone.
So why was I?
The past few weeks, I have been battling with self image more than ever. However, I have stayed strong, and not let it get the better of me, but I still felt weak.
Now, Psalm 139:13-14 says that I was knitted in my mothers womb and that I am fearfully and wonderfully made.
Why should I care what people think of me when I know God loves me?
After all, it’s not about me it’s about him.
Back to The Cave, one thing that was said was ‘You don’t need to defend your faith because you have what the world needs.’ and it’s true. I know God sent his only son to die for us. I know my salvation, and I am so thankful for it. Other people need to know it too.
But this isn’t just for the non Christians, this is for anybody, because we are not perfect. Christians and non Christians battle with stuff everyday, whether it’s pride, appearance, compromise, doubt..
But God is for us, we found our Identity through him, he stands with us, because we give our lives freely to him.
I can confidently say how I used to live.
Now? I live for Jesus.
With integrity.
