Note to Self

" Dear Future Self, How are things in the future. Anything exciting happen to you recently. I am writing this letter to you to encourage you that even though things may be getting hard and it feels like you will be giving up, I want you to know that you can handle this. You have been through situations like this before, and you managed to survive till the end. Whatever is happening now is nothing new. It might look different from past struggles or old hurts, but they are just different tactics to sway you from the path God has for you. I hope as you read this letter, you have continued to follow your dreams, or maybe you have new ones. I pray you have stuck through the hard times to get to where you are and have not given in to the temptation to throw in the towel at the first sign of struggle. You are stronger than that, and nothing the Devil throws at you is a shock to God. Stick it through, and you will go far.' Your old self-until our two paths intersect."

Have you ever written a note to yourself for you to read sometime in the future. Maybe you would write on on New Years with all the resolutions you made for that year, and you open it the next year to see how you did. Maybe, something big in your life took place and you want to remember the moment. In the letter, you may bring up the event and as your future self reads it, you will in turn remember what God did for you.
What if in one of these letters, you are truly honest with yourself and confess some things that you have a hard time telling other people. The things that are hard for you to admit even to yourself are the places that God wants to fix in you. True life/attitude/perspective change happens when we dig down deep within ourselves and find the things we have buried so far into us that we deny struggling with these things, and then confessing them to the father. Sometimes, these things we have denied for so long, that people may call us out on something, and we become like Peter and deny all existence of a problem. It has been said that once we acknowledge an issue, it is easier to get help and get healing in that area.
You may be wondering what kind of things could bury themselves so deep within oneself that an individual does not even realize they are there. This could be anything that comes between you and God. Addictions, Pride, Greed are just a few things, but the list can go on and on. When there is something that hinders us in our walk with God, we must pray and ask the Father to reveal those things inside of us and ask forgiveness from these things. Once we admit a problem, God will help us get to a positive solution of redemption and freedom.

It might be time to write out a letter to yourself. A letter of confession or apology with the soul purpose of finding peace and growing closer to the Lord and Savior of our souls.
