DAUGHTER OF THE MOST HIGH: (M.Lucas) ~I remember the day I finally realised I am a daughter of the most high God as clearly as yesterday. It was the 14th day of August 2006. Although, I already had my mastectomy that March and was very sick with chemotherapy treatment all the time. I fell down on my knees and surrendered to God. My own strength could not do this anymore. What happened to me then in a matter of seconds that 180 degrees turnabout, that complete change of heart. All I remember was that I was exhilarated - beyond description. I could barely fathom that after decades of living like a wounded bird, believing in all the sugar coated lies, joining millions on the highway of life I had discovered that I had the wings to fly. I had the wings long before I made this realisation, but how could I fly without knowing the wings I possessed? I was completely spiritually blind. I was so entangled into a worldly lifestyle. I was like so many other women I have met then,and millions who is still in bondage. I had spent years looking around me to determine my worth, which cost me dearly everytime. I walked in and out of relationships and I had been rejected and abandoned by so many significant people in my life, (through my worldly behaviour-which I then thought was right) that I could not imagine I had a worth at all. How many times I have as a young woman and mother started from scratch because of the lifestyle I maintained. I can only praise God that I was well educated and always had a good career But one day,this bird looked up instead of around - that was that 14th day in August 2006 and I saw myself as a daughter of the most high God. Then, eventually after so many wasted years, I realised I am also a bride of Christ. With God as my father and Jesus as my husband, I was no longer a wounded worthless bird. I had realised I had the wings to fly. My wings are 8 years later still wobbly, from time to time and I know have such a very long way to go- as I am definitely not sinless yet. But I do know that my past mistakes and sins are forgiven. Some days, I forget about my wings and I remain on the ground. Some days, I fly, but fall because I look around me once again at the cancer which has broken me according to satan. But then there are the days I fly and I soar like an eagle. With my eyes, my heart, and my mind fixed on Jesus my beloved, I remember then who I am in Christ. Even if it took the cancer twice to make me KNOW I am a daughter of the most high God. I am His princess, He loves me, unconditionally. He blesses me beyond my imagination. I have all I could dream about, a loving, caring husband, that serves God with me and beautiful daughters, with good life partners, aswell as the most adorable grandchildren. I have my one and only beloved mom that never gave up on me or stopped praying for me in all my lost and wild days. A sister that I know deeply cares and loves me, a huge biological family, and an even greater family in Christ all over the globe, I have friends that loves me dearly. Even if it took breast cancer in 2006 and Secondary breast cancer in my spine in 2013,to realise all these blessings,let my cancer then be my thorn in the flesh it keeps me close to God, it makes my head bow and puts me on bended knees in prayer and it makes my tongue confess that JESUS is LORD. All I can do is to tell my story,to who ever reads it and to pray non stop for those who is still in the world. What I have learned is: When you refuse to obey Gods will, and refuse to answer when He knocks, you will become deeply conscious that there is no peace in your life. There will be no joy in your life, you might get confused by worldly happiness, a new outfit, hairdo, car, house, furniture, a huge party, holiday plans etc, but joy that comes from God only is not based on a feeling its based on a secure knowing that it is your strength. Remember: God chose you, then He calls you, ( and you respond to His invitation) and repent the Holy Spirit assures you that you belong to God. Then God forgives you all your past sins, when you identify with Jesus crucifixion. Believing it to include your own personal death, died to self and reborned in Christ, His blood cleanses you of all your sins. God has chosen His children and they are the ones He will protect and glorify. My life in Christ no money can buy! It was a choice.~
