I lay down my life. I take up my cross. I die daily.
I will not be offended. Lord change me.
Set me free. Break the chains. No more bondage.
It's only You and me.
It's not about what anyone else thinks or says or does.
I am not defined by afflictions.
I am defined by who God says I am.
I am free! The chains are gone.
I bow down. I lift others up.
Forgive me Lord, for being so focused on my own desperation
that I could not see the needs of others.
Make me God-focused. Let me see as You see.
Help me to love those who are hard to love.
I give myself completely to you. I am wholly Yours.

Unity, Healing and Freedom - Under the Willow Tree
Worship and Wisdom from Under the Willow Tree...
It's time for the Body of Christ (us) to Face Forward! The past; even yesterday; is behind us. It's time for the Body (us) and the Head (Christ) to become unified and whole. HE is restoring the years that the locusts have eaten.
Joel 2:24 The threshing floors will be filled with grain;
the vats will overflow with new wine and oil.
25 "I will repay you for the years the locusts have eaten—
the great locust and the young locust,
the other locusts and the locust swarm [a]—
my great army that I sent among you.
26 You will have plenty to eat, until you are full,
and you will praise the name of the LORD your God,
who has worked wonders for you;
never again will my people be shamed.
We are HIS body! And His body is being set free and healed NOW! Grab hold of it now!
The pruning process may be painful, but it's necessary if we expect to bring forth new growth.
John 15:5"I am the vine; you are the branches. If a man remains in me and I in him, he will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing. 6If anyone does not remain in me, he is like a branch that is thrown away and withers; such branches are picked up, thrown into the fire and burned. 7If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be given you. 8This is to my Father's glory, that you bear much fruit, showing yourselves to be my disciples. 9"As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Now remain in my love.
God is NOW healing His body; that we may "grow and flourish". The Head controls the body. But there has been a 'disconnect' between the body and the Head. No more disconnect! It's up to us to Get Connected if we expect healing, unity, and freedom.
Get connected. Plug in. Allow God to search your heart. Go through the process of being transformed into His likeness. Let go of old ways of thinking. Let yourself be broken. Let Him tear down your walls. Let Him remove any roots of bitterness in you. Pray for a Teachable Spirit. Let Him remove any selfish ambitions. Then begin to grow and flourish. And be healed, in Jesus' mighty, holy, powerful name.
Be like the Willow Tree: Planted by streams of living water that brings forth fruit in it's season.
Ezekiel 17:
5He took also of the seed of the land, and planted it in a fruitful field; he placed it by great waters, and set it as a willow tree.
6And it grew, and became a spreading vine of low stature, whose branches turned toward him, and the roots thereof were under him: so it became a vine, and brought forth branches, and shot forth sprigs.
AMEN!
