A Heart Wound Too Tight

Brothers and Sisters, who are loved by God...

This is what I heard today: Your heart is wound too tight.

When I asked God what He meant, He revealed that fear and anticipation have kept my heart from Him. The fear was not allowing me to see what I could do to counteract what I was afraid of and the anticipation of blessings kept me from enjoying the RICHES (and material things play such a small part in that statement) I have IN THIS MOMENT. 

God delivered me from both today and my heart feels SO MUCH LIGHTER. I am starting my day with so much HOPE and PRESENCE with God, more than I have in MONTHs. Keep in mind, my circumstances haven't changed but how I approach them WILL. I can look at my fear as a puzzle to be solved, not as an enemy that threatens to overwhelm me.  Anticipation is waiting for a future that God has yet to release. I can be with Him in THIS moment and be  in the MIDST of His provision. Letting go of fear and anticipation releases the worry and it's Biblical for us NOT TO WORRY. This doesn't mean we don't set goals, or stop preparing...that's wise. It's activity with purpose that bears fruit. Today I live with victory, fearless and PRESENT.
