Sure, life is messy- but that doesn't mean you have to wallow in it!

There are so many ways God speaks to us through babies. Watching little Roman, God has spoke Himself to me over and over.
One thing recently stands out:
A baby cries when his/her diaper needs changed.
Why? Well, it's uncomfortable. And babies are all about being comfortable and comforted.
What did God say to me through a messy diaper?
"If you choose to cry and wallow in the mess you are going to be uncomfortable, you are going to be discouraged, you are going to be lost in your own self and mess."
All you can think about...well, is the MESS.
Jesus came to clean up our mess. He came to clean up your mess.
It's up to you whether or not you believe and receive.
"I came that you have life and have it abundantly"- Jesus
By the way, that "life" is His. He had to die so you could live and have "life", His.
He came to "set free the oppressed", "set free from the body of death", "set free from the law of sin and death", "set free from slavery"-
It was for freedom that Christ set us free; therefore keep standing firm and do not be subject again to a yoke of slavery.- Galatians 5:1
He came to set you free from the slavery of the mess!
Are you crying about and wallowing around in your self and mess? If He lives in you then you will never be comfortable in it. Never. Because He fought and won for you. Mess is not who you are. Not anymore.
Galatians 5:22-23 is Who is in you now.
The question is whether or not you have allowed Him to be.
