I am a fighter. Fighting can be a very useful gift to have when challenged in life. But I have grown so comfortable fighting against anything that tries to change me that I never find rest from fighting. When I see change I fight it so that I can keep my routine/life the way it is.
God has challenged me more than anything else to change. I have fought the change for many years. When He would tell me to stop doing something I fought against letting go of the habit. The more I fought to keep it the more stressed out I would become. God wanted me to not be a slave to my habits but I fought the truth. God was speaking to benefit me and free me but I stubbornly fought it. So I became my biggest hinderance from become who God wants me to be. I had to surrender to the truth. I had to throw in my towel and let every word that God spoke to me take root in my heart. Now when I surrender to Christ I am liberated. When we fight the truth we fight against our freedom. We fight against our peace and joy. Stop fighting the truth and let the truth take root in your heart. Your freedom awaits.
