No matter how difficult the trials we walk through, we must cling to the truth about what Jesus has done for us. Stay encouraged, everyone. God is faithful!
It’s okay to feel, to struggle, to need help, to show emotions, to be real, to be human. It is NOT okay to expect others to stop being human just to appease how we think they should handle something. Encouragement is good. Controlling expectations are bad.
Some things in life aren’t positive, or we don’t see them in a positive way. This is okay. You are human. You are here to be yourself. Just don’t be an asshole. 🙂
You are unconditionally loved… right here, right now. Jesus longs for you to accept the gift of his heart for you.
We aren’t robots. We are human. God understands that we don’t understand everything and we never will. He delights in leading us to more truth. ❤️
Healing for ourselves and future generations comes as we peel back the layers of lies and dysfunction we have lived in, and learn to walk in the freedom Jesus gave us to be loved and to love.
We all have experienced or are experiencing a struggle with addiction or we know someone who has. Either way, Jesus longs for us to walk in freedom. May July be the month when we choose faith and love over fear! ❤️
As we learn to enjoy intimate time with our Heavenly Father and receive His grace and love for us daily… the fruitfulness of this practice will overflow into the rest of our lives. “Lay it All Down”…. https://youtu.be/RNacm6zR8eU
Who else out there has been consistently hurt by others and beaten down with scripture, or you’ve attended church trying to find solace only to be given a list of rules? I hope you all will join me on the path to healing through discovering more of the true heart of Jesus for us… rest for our souls. Perhaps a different and fresh approach to studying the Bible is what many of us need. Here’s the link for the History Channel episode: https://youtu.be/W-dIr8Dv_lc
This life is about Jesus and what He longs for us to receive from Him. All of our doing will never equate to a relationship with God.
Sometimes, the things we prioritize in our lives keep us searching or striving for an elusive outcome. What if we filter our beliefs through the lenses of love and acceptance, and ask ourselves what truly leads to the heart of Jesus for us?
Let’s talk about emotional triggers! Buckle in for the ride. God has made us brave, and we can do hard things….but we all need help and support!
We often think of “home” as being a place to go to, but what if we shift our perspective and consider “home” as also being a space within ourselves? Would we do anything differently to care for that space?
All that Jesus completed for us on the cross has given us freedom!! May we know who we truly are, may we walk in it, and may God’s truth be shared through families across the globe!
Reflections and ramblings on grief as the 4 year anniversary of my mom’s passing approaches…. and a reminder to cherish those you love. What would any of us do without Jesus? ❤️
Don’t forget whose you are and who you are! Scripture references are from Romans 6:4-7 and Romans 6:11. Here’s the link for 101 truths about our identity in Christ: https://reasonsforhopejesus.com/101-truths-identity-in-christ/
Just a beginning of the week reminder for us all about how loved we are by the One who said “it is finished!” My heart is filled with gratitude for Jesus. ❤️
Please know that your mistakes do not have the power to change God’s timing or plan for your life. Be encouraged! His plans are so good for those who love Him!!
Keep your eyes on Jesus and REST in His GRACE!! You are unconditionally loved! “Hello peace….Hello joy…Hello love….Hello strength….Hello hope….it's a new horizon” ~From “Fear is Not My Future” by Kirk Franklin and Maverick City Music
