ONE: Fellowship is so much more special and fulfilling than friendship. Fellowship is about living with Jesus together and living in freedom together and growing together. I've never so much grasped this concept than the past couple weeks. I love my friends dearly, and I always have but I can't do friendships anymore....it's like a piggy-back ride. You carry me for awhile and when you get bogged down with life, we'll switch. That's an exhausting way of life. Especially because you can't seem to catch your breath before your friend needs a break. However, fellowship is awesome fun because you can hold hands and skip and sing and you're completely free (in Christ of course). The only time it doesn't work is when you try to hold hands with someone who's going in a different direction (then it turns into tug-o-war).
TWO: I have authority! I do not have to live in intimidation because MY God has conquered it already! I no longer have to intimidate others, because I am a daughter of the King! In my heart, I hold the same power that raised Jesus Christ from the dead. How cool! I have that always. And I can use it always. Just like my Jesus. That's some powerful thinking and living. And if we choose to dwell in that attitude, we can dwell in Jesus Christ and His purpose for our lives. We begin to mimick His actions without a second thought. It becomes natural. Thoughts and words are powerful. If I say and think God-centered thoughts long enough. I begin to live by them and act on them. :D
