Brutally HONEST Fully Delivered
Hey WIllingVessels,
Today's post is a little different. Its literally a little "diary" entry from my notes on my phone. I didn't have a pen or paper in my reach at the time so, I pulled out my phone and wrote was on my heart! I wrote this months ago, back in June to be exact. I had no idea and no intention to be sharing it on this blog, but as I've said before, This blog belongs to God i'm just his Willing Vessel. Whatever the Lord tells me to write is what I type and share with you. Anyway,I hope you can relate to this ... and more importantly I hope this helps you! I want you to know that as children of God, we don't have to hide anything. We NEED to put it all out in the open.So without further delay, here is me... Being Brutally HONEST (in order to get) Fully DELIVERED:
Scriptures:

Prayer: Thank you Jesus, for loving me unconditionally. Thank you for allowing me to come to YOU in total honesty and not having to hide anything from you. Forgive me for my shortcomings and for the times I try to hide myself, my thoughts,and feelings from you. Help me to be honest and to remember that my deliverance is in the truth. In your name I pray , Amen.
Today after a situation , my feelings were hurt and I was also upset. I could feel myself slipping to a dark place ... I turned my music off, sat my phone down, and just drove... Eyes on the road but my mind consumed with the conversation and the person ... and of course my emotions.
As I felt myself slipping into that place of sorrow , rejection , disappointment etc. I heard God say to me.
“ What are you upset for ? You brought this on yourself. They were clear from the beginning. But you are the one that included your feelings , hopes , and wishes expecting that to change their mind. “ ...
I sat up straight in my car and couldn’t say a word. All I could do was shake my head and say: Jessica you’re not going back to the sunken place.
You caused this and crying about it won’t fix anything. Allowing yourself to feel depressed won’t fix anything.
God has delivered me multiple times and because of my FEELINGS I allow myself to end up right back where I was ( in the beginning)... Hurt , disappointed , sinking into depression. But this time the Lord rebuked me. And I literally had to grab myself... mentally grab myself by the collar. And tighten up.
Don’t keep going back to the same situation expecting something different. And when a person tells you and shows you what their intentions are, BELIEVE THEM! Don’t think that your feelings , your hopes , and your attempt to change their mind will change the situation. Sometimes, You gotta keep your emotions out of the situation and use common sense !
Yeah my feelings are hurt. Yeah the rebuke made me feel some type of way. But all the while, the person was telling the TRUTH , God rebuked me with nothing but the TRUTH , I was the one in DENIAL. I was the one trying to change a mind that was already made up. Sometimes it ain’t the person doing us wrong. Its not God being mean and allowing us to keep getting hurt. It’s ourselves not being able to separate our emotions , it’s ourselves hoping for a different outcome than what we’ve gotten. It’s our inability to accept things for what they are. Being in denial doesn’t get you anywhere but hurt and disappointed. Don’t get mad, do better!
Willing Vessel, your freedom is in the TRUTH ! I hope this helps you, or gives you something to think about. be blessed, and don't forget to #ReflectChrist!
