I’ve been revisiting past faithful forty posts from myself because I’m reminding myself of why I’m pushing so hard. God has been so generous in teaching me, I write down the things He impresses on my heart and I post them here. A journal of sorts but public, which is awesome for the accountability and sweet in how knowing you are here draws even better out of me. I’ve also revisited a few of y’all’s. So inspiring. Uplifting. Encouraging. And so much growth in all of us. I enjoy you so much and as I pray I feel Gods delight in you, in us, in this. Such a good feeling. Hope ya don’t mind me resharing. It’s mostly for me so I don’t have to go eight months back again scrolling 😁 Walking thoughts: I’ll start with the funny. I have a rather eclectic playlist as far as music goes. I even have Alex’s playlist intermingled with mine. Nothing motivates ya to outrun a zombie more than the Christian band demon hunter lol. Today I was motivated and moved by Keith Lancasters Amen: when I ask you about the joy you’ve found, are you telling everybody you’re heaven bound. Can they see the Father in your eyes. Can the Spirit in your presence they realize? Now contrast that with the next song: talking heads, once in a lifetime with the key phrases being... same as it ever was, and let the water cover me. I don’t want it to ever be the same as it ever was. So I press onward toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ. Phil 3:14 It’s hard to be salt and light to the ones we love. Those who have seen us both at our best and worst and everything in between. Vulnerability often means pain but if we are living and loving in the spirit of Christ we will not fear pain. Instead we shine our light and lay our hearts bare. Let your light shine. People will fear it but they fear the darkness too. Fear is a liar! Look for the light in the ones you love and focus your own light there. Let your light shine! Blending their light with your own and casting the rest into shadow. Let your light shine!! Do not forget that salt preserves and perfect love casts out fear. It was so much better as God spoke it to my heart. Father maximize our strengths in our loved ones eyes and minimize our faults. Keep our hearts tender towards one another and help us fill their hearts and lives with good things ♥️
