Doing my workouts during this time remind me that lifting heavier means strengthening even if I don’t want to...
That stretching is needed to expand and lengthen (sometimes even the painful parts)...
That breathing is necessary at all times...
That drinking water (and from THE Living Water) is important and one of the required things with every workout...
I sometimes don’t challenge myself enough.
I sometimes challenge myself too hard.
And then I hear the whispers of “You are worthy, you are loved because I say so...”
And then I’m moved to challenge myself at the perfect pace, amount and strength that He leads, in full surrender...
And then I realize, He whispers this to me in ALL things even outside of my workouts, and I can breathe and surrender, knowing my Living water is fueling me, guiding me, loving me, and supplying me every step of the way in ALL circumstances.
“There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear. For fear has to do with punishment, and whoever fears has not been perfected in love.”
1 John 4:18
