I wanted share with all of you about something very personal to me, something a dear friend said to me several weeks ago that has really impacted my life. He said that he had a picture for me that he wanted to share. He saw me holding this little red balloon. He was watching me let go of this balloon, and afterwards my arms became wings like eagles and just saw me soar.
I didn’t really understand what he was talking about, so I just thanked him for his encouraging words and moved on. Later that night I was praying and just told the Lord “I’m tired, I’m done doing this all on my own.” I was letting go, and afterwards I physically felt the release. Ever since then I feel like there’s been a huge weight lifted from my shoulders of years of trying to do everything on my own, and I just have had an incredibly sweet season with the Lord because of this. For the last 6 weeks I have been trying to figure out where all this happiness and joy in the Lord has come from, but kept coming up blank.
Then, this morning, it hit me. It was the red balloon.
Thanks for sharing this, DJ. He really wants us to release unnecessary burdens.
I love you. It is a beautiful thing to watch the Lord work in your life. What an encouragement to my faith that I get to see Him answer my prayers for you in such bold and mighty ways. The Lord loves you very much and it is evidenced in countless ways. He is good and does good. Love you and see you tomorrow!
