I called upon the LORD in distress: the LORD answered me, and set me in a large place. (Psalm 118:5)

 

Give more and more of yourself to God, and you will experience more and more freedom.

 

Many of us have a habit of withholding our emotions, hiding our pain or stifling our joy because we are too consumed with how others may view us or think of us.

 

With God, we don’t have to hide anything.

 

In reality, He already sees us and knows us more intimately that we know ourselves.

 

There is nowhere to hide when it comes to God. We should take comfort in that truth!

 

Come to Him when you are hurting, and He will share in your pain.

 

Come to Him when you are joyful, and He will share in your joy as well and even multiply it! Sharing ourselves with the Lord and actively opening our hearts to Him will give us newfound freedom.

 

By repeatedly exposing ourselves to His presence and His truth, past bondages and cycles of negative traits will break off!

 

As His children, we are to be lovers of His presence.

 

In His presence is where long-term freedom can be found, living in communion with Him daily and choosing to withhold nothing. 

 

Is there anything you’ve withheld from God? Is there anything you’ve bottled up inside? God is the only one who understands you perfectly, and He longs for you to give more of yourself to Him. Whatever your personal need is, be encouraged to call out to Him and He will set you free and multiply your joy! 

 

 

When I read this devotion I was instantly moved by it. I pray it speaks volumes to whomever is reading it today. You can come to Him unashamed and feel Him move within you. See every flaw less, that’s possible when you seek Him first. 

Have a beautiful and uplifting day in The Lord!
