It is a process that involves our compliance\u00a0as well as our\u00a0effort, but the process itself yields joy beyond words.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Sometimes when Mark and I are worshipping God for all He has done, our hearts simply soar! Neither of us have ever been high, let alone buzzed with alcohol, but the spiritual high we encounter when we worship our God is the best of all highs, I warrant. He has delivered us! Have all our prayers been answered? All our issues buttoned down? All our battles completed? No. In fact, we have some huge outstanding challenges in our lives. But even while we wait for these victories, we put our complete faith in Yeshua, our <em>yeshua<\/em>! We are no longer slaves! His salvation has set us free.
