I have been feeling guided to create an outlet for some of my thoughts and feelings. I have no idea what this will lead to, if anything. I have always kept journals so I am not sure why I am being lead to this but I am going on faith.
The name "Released" signifies what this blog is for. I have a weakness called bitterness. Without the release of my innermost feelings, which are not always appropriate, the bitterness can overtake my mind and heart. Bitterness has a way of slowly killing a once vibrant heart. The heart becomes hardened and God no longer has free range to move. I no longer want this to be a part of my life.
Bitterness can be contagious too. Releasing these bitter thoughts and feelings to anyone other than God can put another heart at risk and I no longer want to do that. Hebrews 12:15 warns, "See to it that no one misses the grace of God and that no bitter root grows up to cause trouble and defile many." A root is hidden but gives life to what is on the outside. The root of bitterness is a poison that needs to be released.
That is what this blog is about for me. While I do not want to dwell on the bitter thoughts and feelings, writing about them is a way to release them from my heart. And once released, God can move through my vibrant heart again.
