I burned a piece of paper tonight. On it was the one thing holding me back from God. I went to Sam's youth group. She preached an amazing message on the Wall of Jericho. The challenge at the end was to write down the walls that you have placed around your heart that is keeping God out. It was so easy for me to think of a million things. but one thing encompassed it all. So I wrote one word. Went outside. Took a match. And burned it. That wasn't just a sheet of paper with words on it. That was the wall around my heart. That was what is holding me back from God. And as of tonight.... No more fooling around, no more going back and forth. It's just me and God.
I pray I can let those ashes fly with the wind. I pray that I can really keep that wall broken. But only with Jesus.
Thank you for convicting me, Dad. No matter how much harder it'll get, please continue to shape me into Your image.
