One thing God has shown me on our daily dates is the power of the gifts that come to me in unappealing wrapping. How many times can we acknowledge the truth that things we thought were the worst thing we could experience in the moment bore fruits, later on, we do not want to live without?  Attempting my best to live as a person in recovery who engages her daily relationship with God which started because my life depended upon it I can list off the offers I received over the years that I did not want to accept.  In fact, probably some of the most profound offers were exactly those I did not want to accept.  As an incest survivor coming to terms with the effects of that experience as a child is chock full of offers I am not the least desiring to walk through.  I developed a way to survive amidst that situation and God calls me daily to change my lens on many layers of lies I told myself about myself and my body just to make sense of the incomprehensible.  Accepting the lies I told myself to get through are the very offers of freedom by aligning with my heart’s desire to be realigned to the truth of who I am at my core. We all have our own paths in which we are faced with offers that look like something we cannot or do not want to walk through.  Our hearts offer us the courage to connect with God who will walk this path to freedom with us one day at a time.
