The Thief in the Night

I’m late. I told myself and committed to write for each of my blogs at least once a week, and I have failed.

I’ve struggled with feeling like a terrible wife, mom, daughter, friend, and the list goes on. I have felt unworthy to speak and testify for the God I serve. It just often feels like…who am I to write and teach about Him?

He has not been proud of that, I know.

I’m blessed to have wonderful Christ-like friends who speak truth into my life and all the lives they come across. I was reminded that Satan is like a thief in the night. He wants to steal, kill, and destroy (John 10:10). He knows he will never have access to my soul or my loyalty, but he will do powerful work to try making me feel useless and strip me of my confidence as a daughter of the King.

John 10:10 finished with Jesus himself saying that He came so that we might have abundant life. He has given us the spirit of love, power, and a sound mind (2 Tim. 1:7). That is so often my mantra and I left behind the past few weeks. As I come out of this funk stronger, I am grateful that Satan has already been conquered. Knowing that at some point I will fail again, I plan to press forward defeating this evil in the name of Jesus who already won. I only share these short thoughts to invite anyone reading to do the same. Together, let’s dress for battle (Ephesians 6), and make sure that the one who came to give us life is truly the one we’re letting lead the way.
