Publisher's Synopsis
In Deuteronomy 33: 27, "The eternal God is my refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms: and he shall thrust out the enemy from before thee; and shall say, Destroy them" I found to be so comforting to me. For so long, I have been looking for security. I have found Jesus Christ to be my only true security! How often have I entrusted my life to other things such as a career, a noble cause, money, a twelve-step program, or alcohol. But what I have learned through my journey is that my only true refuge is the eternal God, who always holds out his arms to catch me when I fall. For I know now, that no storm can destroy me when I take refuge in him. Today, I dare to be bold because God is my refuge. Today, I am no longer a victim. I choose to be whom I want to be. No more false pretenses or vicesjust me. Today, I choose not to abuse substances, situations, or things. I have found the ultimate answernot in a 12step program, but in Jesus Christ and his word. Thank you Lord for the blessing of not only acceptance of myself and my mistakes, but also for being able to forgive. Forgiveness has been the ultimate healing process for myself and for others. Thank you for releasing the skeletons from my closet and dissolving them. Today, I have a solution to all of my problems. The solution is forgiveness through Jesus Christ, who died on the cross for all of my sinspast, present, and future. Resentment for me, has been replaced with forgiveness. What a simple concept that is for me. Today, at this very moment in time, I am truly freed! Thank you Lord Jesus.
