Warrior, it's time to rise up and face the darkness with determination and courage!
Once I realized my great need for God, I humbled myself before him and made the choice to follow him with all my heart. He soon became my Valiant Warrior who fought alongside me, shining His glorious light into the dark places of my soul.
In the following quote by Corrie ten Boom, from her book, Amazing Love: True Stories of the Power of Forgiveness, I began to believe, by faith, that I could trust in him.
"Jesus Christ is able to untangle ALL the snarls in your soul, to banish ALL your complexes, and to transform even your fixed habit patterns, no matter how deeply they are etched in your subconscious."
These words of unquestionable faith by a woman who had survived the Holocaust endued huge breaths of courageous hope into me. This began God's transformational power to break free from the darkness and step into my true identity, as a child of the Most High God.
This difficult process of untangling my mind didn't happen overnight. The unhealthy patterns didn't want to go. Over and over, my emotions tried to pull me back down into the broken pieces of my soul. The learning process was gut-wrenching, but I kept on, knowing I would soon get well.
I was beginning to train my mind, will, and emotions to live in a totally different way, like a true warrior: Fact-Faith-Feeling, I chose to believe God's Word by faith, and soon my feelings would come into alignment. This new way of thinking would bring the stability I so desperately needed.
"I place trust in God my Creator, in ALL things; I love him with all my heart."
Joan of Arc
