My Story Continued

I left out something very important: the stuff that God has taught me hasn't all been in my times alone with Him. Quite a lot of it has been with the help of some mature Christians that the Lord sent into my life. They especially helped me to see my identity in Christ. During my counselor training class at Exchanged Life Ministries, Bret, my mentor, led me in theophostic prayer, and that was very powerful. Here's what I think is awesome about theophostic: Jesus is invited to minister to needs and pain. He shows up, and when He does, two things happen to me: I experience His love and it's wonderful; and, lies are replaced with truth. Now, if I start to think that I have to be perfect to be a good person, or if I think I'm worthless or unloved or unimportant, I can see that these are lies. Jesus' love and truth set us free from lies.
