I just discovered John Roedel’s God and John Facebook page (thanks to my friend, Erin!) and I’m loving the wisdom and insights.
Many of his posts are pretty long — thought provoking and profoundly moving, but too long to give you a taste in a blog post. But here’s a fairly short one that will give you an idea…
Me: Hey God.
God: Hey John.
Me: My past is holding me down.
God: That’s impossible.
Me: Why? I feel tied to it.
God: Your past doesn’t have any fingers. It can’t tie anything. You’re the one who has knotted it to your wrist.
Me: I’ve made too many mistakes to ever be free of it.
God: Forgiveness begins with the simple act untying yourself from who you used to be. So you can be free to fly away and become something beautiful.
Me: Here I go…
Guilt: Bye John.
Me: I’m floating!
God: Enjoy the view!
