As I was observing the trees with their big roots sticking out of the ground, it came to me, that we are similar to the trees, like another God’s creation. We all have roots, we take time to grow. Some roots are small, some are big. Some are strong, some are weak. Some give us nutrients, while others drain us. Some are deep in the ground, some are overgrown, sticking out, creating obstacles.Read More Pray, friends!
Whatever those “things” are. We change & evolve every day. With God’s help. Keep working, praying, believing &, most importantly, loving HARD.
This Father's Day & any other day you can call out on your Father in heaven & He will answer you.
As Christians we are forever bounded to the Father through the Spirit. It is especially important to those of us who don't have fathers in our lives. That void will never go away if we don't let God to fill it. He's the best, kindest, most loving, never abandoning, wisest Father one can ever have on this earth. It's a privilege to call my God my father, too! 💗
We need to be purposeful in knowing our hearts & ourselves. Our REAL selves. With all our sins, insecurities, fears, shortcomings, pains, hopes, dreams...All of our beauty & all of our ugliness. By being honest, we can acknowledge & transform ourselves. Rather, God can transform us, once we admit where & how we need to change. Once we repent, God will cleanse our hearts. Don’t bypass that incredible opportunity to transform not only your heart, but your life, relationships & future! God gives and takes away. Only He truly knows our hearts. Not the people we have partied with or drank with, but with those who have prayed for us & genuinely loved us.
Treasure those relationships. Don’t reject those who have loved you through & through. Have you ever been judged for looking good, looking your best? For taking care of yourself? For having a smile on your face? For investing time & money into yourself? You probably have. Read MoreWho did Jesus come for if not for you & me?
