I'm With You Either Way


Having all the answers is not required.

I have never been so confused yet so at peace and free in my life.

I’ve been struggling with something and not knowing God’s will for me in this area. I just put it out to God and asked him to just show me if my thoughts were my thoughts or His. And He just said to me, “The choice is yours. I’m with you either way.”

Can you say FREEDOM?!

The peace and liberty those two sentences brought to my heart was bondage breaking extraordinaire. I heard God as clear as a bell, something that has only happened a few times, but when it does it always moves me to tears. How do I know it wasn’t just my own thought? Well, considering that I was the one putting myself in shackles, and the idea that this was really just my choice had never occurred to me, I’m putting my money on this being God all the way.

God doesn’t put us chains - He breaks them. He doesn’t dump guilt upon us – we do that to ourselves. He doesn’t hold us down – He gives us wings.
