Each day in the 90 day journal, Freedom Starts Today, the reader is told to write a prayer to God committing to sobriety for 24 hours and then contacting your accountability of the same commitment. As I had begun the journal I started to write my commitment to Jesus since I already journal to Him each day. However, the book says to write the prayer to God. So, I began to write each day to my Father God.
I have written in past about years ago writing in my journal for a year to God, a year to Jesus and a year to The Holy Spirit. I was wanting to build a relationship with them so I thought journaling to them would do this. What ended up taking place was a deeper fear that this relationship wasn’t going to happen. All my efforts seemed to be in vain.
All these years later, in journaling to God, this relationship I use to crave is now one of sincere gratitude and love. God is Jesus, Jesus is God and The Holy Spirit lives within me! Good grief, how lucky can a man be?!! God hears me and I can hear Him speak to me in so many ways. I tear up writing this. I’m so grateful this 90 day commitment had me writing to God. The reality of His genuineness in Jesus coming as His representation of Himself to man is astounding! Scripture says to fear God, but this is fear out of respect and expectancy. Never is it fear out of judgment, criticism and disgust as one fears man.
How loving our Father God is!
