We live like we can bless ourselves – but our souls know we can only rest when we know we are blessed by God.Read more here.
...Why do we keep thinking who we really are couldn’t be who He really loves.
Why do we believe that to be blessed we can’t be ourselves. We hide ourselves because we don’t think we can be loved for ourselves.
I’m thinking it’s that — We wear masks when we feel barely loved.
Are we missing Jesus in our days — because we go through our days missing chances to share our real selves?
...What if no one had to dress up any better, any stronger, any braver — and we just handed out words that bless to everyone just as they are in all their real and honest messiness?
What if we weren’t about dressing up as good — but about giving the blessing now?
This changes your life and a thousand more: Only speak words that make souls stronger.
...In the beginning was the Word and the Word was God and words have the power of God in them. Words have the power to literally breathe life — to literally reshape the atoms of real lives.
This blog is looking for wisdom, to have and to share. It is also looking for other rare character traits like good humor, courage, and honor. It is not an easy road, because all of us fall short. But God is love, forgiveness and grace. Those who believe in Him and repent of their sins have the promise of His Holy Spirit to guide us and show us the Way.
