Undone

This week I have been in somewhat of a fog. There's probably several reasons for that, but the fact remains that I settled into it way too easily. By yesterday, I was straining with the flesh and losing. Last night after a planning meeting with some of our college singles who have great vision, I drove home smiling at their passion and enthusiasm for Christ. I popped in one of my favorite CDs by "Mercy Me". They have a song on their CD by the same name, "Undone". The chorus goes like this: "I run to the cross lifting high my chains undone, Free, free to be what I've become -- Undone." It was a poignant reminder that we do not have to remain in the fog, we do not have to live defeated, we do not have to live tired and sluggish. There is a Savior who has freed us from ourselves and the chains that we keep putting back around our hands.

I just needed that last night. I am so thankful to be Undone. Undone from the chains of sin and defeat. The power to live above my flesh and this world is with me all the time. I just have to remind myself to ask for it and then take it!

Undone. The potential of that one word is huge.
