Have you ever been looking for something and all it took was another set of eyes to tell you that you were looking right at it but not seeing it?  That’s what happened to me this morning during my devotions.  I have had a couple things happen these past two days that have troubled me.  The “old man” within me was wanting to take control, (I thought he was dead) but I just couldn’t see any other way of dealing with what I was facing.  This morning during my devotions I was lamenting with Jesus about the details.  He reminded me of the scripture, James 5:16 which says that if I confess all of this to someone I trust I could be healed because the prayers of a righteous man are powerful and effective.  I knew I needed to confess to someone of this present struggle but, good grief, how many times does one need to do this?  Well, my response to that question was simple–“just one more time”.  I needed healing about my thinking and confessing it to someone I trust was all I needed to do.

This journey to FREEDOM, or I should say, the journey within freedom is not trouble free.  The freedom isn’t an absence of problems, its a pathway with help once we reach out for it.  The things I could not see as I said in the first sentence of this blog were right there for me.  It was called HELP.  I just hadn’t reached out for it.  Now I have and I feel like a new person ready to move into a new day able to live as the new creation I’ve been all along.

So I write this to encourage you to reach out if there is something troubling you.  Help is close at hand.  It may be right in front of you as mine was.  God bless.
