“Prison Break” Part II “Breaking Out of the Prison Within Us”

05 Nov “Prison Break” Part II “Breaking Out of the Prison Within Us”

The prison often times is not the four walls, the barbwire, or the locked gates but it is the brokenness inside of us.

The house is beautiful, the cloths are stylish, the car is clean and shiny and OH the hair and makeup are perfect. The person on the outside looking in may ask “how could life be better”?

Yet you sit in a crowded room or perhaps a church feeling all alone, broken and empty. You are crying on the inside God help me I’m dying, I’m drowning, I’m going down for the last time.

If we stay busy we don’t have to think, if we stay busy we can numb the pain. So day after day we put a smile on our faces, we fix up the outside, go about our day and die a little bit more on the inside.

Learning to love yourself may be the hardest thing that you have ever done. God created you for fellowship with him. He loves you unconditionally. Learning to love yourself begins with forgiving our faults and failures. Let’s remind our self every day that “we are loved”! Each of us are uniquely created by God and God does not make mistakes.

When we wake each morning start with thanking God for breath in our lungs and another day of life. Over 6000 people die each day in the United States. Life may not be perfect but we have another 86,400 seconds to do things better today than we did yesterday.

Learn to LOVE yourself first instead of loving the idea of other people loving you!! When I live a life of thankfulness and love myself then I am a better to those around me that need to see that there is a God in Heaven that loves each of us with Love beyond our comprehension.

The words to this song carried me though some dark times:

I WANT TO SIT AT YOUR FEET
LAY BACK AGAINST YOU AND BREATH
HEAR YOUR HEART BEAT
THIS LOVE IS SO DEEP, IT’S MORE THAN I CAN STAND
I MELT IN YOUR PEACE, IT’S OVERWHELMING

Start your day with “I am loved”!!!
