Lets Break the Chains

Two days ago while driving the song, “Break Every Chain” by Tasha Cobbs began to play. Now this was not my first time hearing this song. The song is actually one of my favorites, however, this time listening to it was different. 

         I was hearing more than just the lyrics I was seeing all of the things that God is going to do. I was hearing him say that he needs our help as not only Christians but people to do it.

The song starts out by stating, “There’s an army rising up.” This army is us. This is me. This is you. God wants us all to come together as people and as leaders to bring more people to him. Because if we are together then we can help one another break the chains that the devil has placed upon us. The chains that have us bondage will fall if together we all trust in God and support one another in our walk with him.

I know that trusting in God can sometimes be a difficult thing to do but God will bring you out of your darkest hour if we trust in him and John 1:5 reassures us of just that. It says, “The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness can never extinguish it.” So even in your darkest hour God’s light is still shining in you. No matter how weak you may feel God will ALWAYS heal you. When you are down remember he will lift you back up. You are going to make it through.

So as you see people in your life journey struggling with different things be there for them. Uplift them. Together we will break all chains. Overcome all obstacles and do what God has called us to do in order to bring more to Jesus Christ. Lets build up God’s army and together BREAK EVERY CHAIN! Lets be set free from our sins.

FLAWLESS

     

     I remember the first time I looked inside of the mirror and did not like what was looking back at me. I was about fourteen years old. In that moment I started to question everything. I began to think to myself. Why would God do this to me? Why did God give me this body? 

As the years passed it only got worse. The older I got, the lower my self-esteem became. Every time I would look on the internet I would see all of these beautiful people. Over time I let that get to me. I no longer wanted to be me. I just wanted to look like the girls in the magazines because they were beautiful… And when I looked at myself I didn't see that beauty. I just wanted to fit into this world. I wanted to be the beauty that I constantly saw on television, Instagram and other social medias. I no longer wanted to be me.

I would pray to God and ask him to make me beautiful. Hoping that he would answer me. Hoping that one day I would wake up, look into the mirror and see a new me. But instead of God doing that he changed my outlook on beauty completely.  

It all happened when I was reading the bible and stumbled across Romans chapter twelve verse two. It read, “Do not copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you...” When reading this God spoke to me. He said, “Morgan. The exact things that make you feel as if you are less than are what make you even more beautiful to me. The things that you feel make you not worthy enough to be in this world are what make you perfect in my world. I have a plan for you. I am going to use you. You are my daughter.” Tears came to my eyes when I heard him speak. In that instant everything changed. I looked inside of the mirror and realized that I am beautiful JUST THE WAY I AM. 

In that moment I felt better. I realized that he loves me unconditionally. He looks at what I call my “flaws” and he calls me “flawless.” God took his time making me. As he did each and every one of us. We are all flawless. We are all beautiful. We are all made in his image. So now every time I look inside of the mirror if I see something that I feel is an imperfection I remember that God made me this way for a reason. I remember that God made me beautiful. 

P.S. I want to thank all of my beautiful sisters for taking these selfies to make this flawless picture. I do not know what I would do without you all. You have all made a tremendous impact on my life. I could not be the young woman I am today without you all there for love and support!
