and the walls came tumbling down

have you heard that song?

'joshua fought the battle of jericho, jericho,

jericho.

joshua fought the battle of jericho,

and the walls came tumbling down.'

i have or rather had very high,

strong, 

and thick walls built around me.

the details don't matter,

but because of things that i have done,

things that have been said and done to me,

i built walls.

i felt safe behind them.

like a cocoon.

but i heard God saying...'your walls are not a cocoon, but a

prison.'

'you were not made to be safe. you were made to fly.'

 'you were made to show the world My light through you.'

so He has been removing my walls.

brick by brick.

softly, gently and whispering...

'i will catch you.'

 so i am gripping white knuckled

to the one that knows.

i am scared,

but i am ready to shine for Him.

do you have walls?

if you do, pray.

pray for strength to hang on to Him.

He will not leave you...scared and alone.
