Are you struggling with something? Trying to break free of something? Let me tell you a secret, it's from the Song of Solomon. It's the word of the bride, "Dodi Li V' Ani Lo," my beloved is mine and I am His. How do you become free from all those things which are not of God? By giving yourself to that which is God; by belonging to Him. The more you belong to Him, the less you belong to anything else. We tend to concentrate on trying not to belong to anything else, to that sin. Well, that's great, but the key is focusing rather on what you are belonging to. See yourself totally as His. You won't be able to belong to anything else. As it is written, you have been bought with a price; therefore, glorify God. You don't belong to that sin or that temptation anymore. You belong only to God. Join and commit your life to the ownership of God. And you will be free of everything else. And you too, can say, "Dodi Li V' Ani Lo," my beloved is mine and I am completely His.
From Message #674 - Dodi Li
Make it your aim today to live as if you didn't belong to yourself - but were God's own possession - because you are!
Scripture: Song of Solomon 2:16
