Hello, StrongHeart. 

Bullies. 

They come in all shapes, sizes, ages.

After an attack you have a choice. You can either let their opinion defeat you, or you can choose to be grateful for the things you know are true. The dark and empty place their words and actions come from don’t define you. You arrive at this turning point, and say to yourself, ‘am I going to let them define me?’ ‘Am I going to allow false accusers to define me?’ 

No. 

I Rise. 

I am going to let the Word define me. Every victory, every success, every goal, every prayer, everything that is a result of obedience to His call each day – that is what defines me. 

Call me a monster, and I’ll turn it into a prayer ladder to God’s best for my life. I’ve learned to use negativity as my driving-force motivator. The Holy Spirit uses it to light my fire, to keep going.

Use that.

Use that negativity in your life to make yourself better. I guarantee you this: God always wins, and that means you win by choosing to stay in His Spirit. Stay the course. 

Ask yourself what defines you.

Grace starts here. 

Grace bats last.

“We are pressured in every way but not crushed; we are perplexed but not in despair; we are persecuted but not abandoned; we are struck down but not destroyed. We always carry the death of Jesus in our body, so that the life of Jesus may also be revealed in our body.

For our momentary light affliction is producing for us an absolutely incomparable eternal weight of glory.” 2 Corinthians‬ ‭4:8-10, 17‬ ‭HCSB‬‬

Wake up.

Bear the weight of GLORY. 

Go.

Good morning, God’s Child. 

We have an unbearable time opening the tsunami-gift of God-love because we want to put our own stipulations on it first … if I do this, then I am worthy to have that. Love. We talk ourselves right out of being precious enough to receive it. 

The God of the Angel Armies is fighting for you with passionate intensity.

Passionate. 

Intensity. 

He wants you. 

All in. 

His love is beyond reason.

Insane love.

The only thing you can do – and, it is everything – is to uncoil enough to feel the winds of the Holy …

whatever’s happening to you, 

whatever’s happening around you, 

whatever is said about you, 

whatever they do to you,

however mad and terrible the world becomes, 

go on loving, loving, loving,

serving, serving, serving, 

giving, giving, giving, 

forgiving, forgiving, forgiving.

Because if you can adore the Maker,

and adore His creation,

and send God-love into even those human beings who are doing the work of darkness and destruction and evil, go on loving – find something in the process to love – then an unimaginable miracle will take place in you.

And, you will, 

when the process is right,

and just, 

and when it has come to its pre-ordained mysterious conclusion,

you will as I did and as many, many people have experienced, 

you will experience the fresh, new heart in your own being. 

It will happen because it is the birth of a new level of God-love for you, and the crushing you’ve gone through were simply the pangs of the birth.

‘… take on an entirely new way of life—a God-fashioned life, a life renewed from the inside and working itself into your conduct as God accurately reproduces his character in you.” Ephesians‬ ‭4:23-24‬ ‭MSG‬‬

Wake up. 
New waves of Love are here. 

Go.

Good morning, God’s Child. 

I was asked how I stay in His presence, and grounded, and focused? Hmmm … from that first waking moment, a story of the night’s dreams surface … across the day to the last low prayer of thanks before sleep comes again that night, I measure the choices before me against one question:  

Will this choice bring me closer to my Creator? 

Further still, from this choice, will gaps fold into greater wholeness with my Father? 

Alignment?

Consistency? 

Agreement? 

Or, take me further away from Him?

The choices I make each day emerge from this profound commitment to loyalty. It becomes, over time, a habit. He becomes a habit. 

Wholeness speaks through my heart’s deepest desires; through the wild, clear call of my soul; through the patient wisdom of my body. Yours, too. 

So, I listen — for what is being asked of me by my God and by my world. Then, I listen for my heart’s true response.

So, today, I extend my love, appreciation, and blessing to everything I encounter — The Almighty, to my own body, feelings, desires and needs; to the air I breathe; the quiet place here, in which I sit to write; and to the intimacy of our relationship — you and me, sacred strumming from heart-to-heart through these words.

It is not by accident that we share this time together. 

‘My counsel for you is simple and straightforward: Just go ahead with what you’ve been given. You received Christ Jesus, the Master; now live him. You’re deeply rooted in him. You’re well constructed upon him. You know your way around the faith. Now do what you’ve been taught. School’s out; quit studying the subject and start living it! And let your living spill over into thanksgiving.” Colossians‬ ‭2:6-7‬ ‭MSG‬‬
Wake up. 

Live loyal. 

Go.

Good morning, DearHeart,

It’s only those who carry crosses who can know how there is a weight of the many complex things that bear down on people. Jesus said, 

“Let me give you a new command: Love one another. In the same way I loved you, you love one another. This is how everyone will recognize that you are my disciples—when they see the love you have for each other.” John‬ ‭13:34-35‬ ‭MSG‬‬

They’ll know you are My disciples if you don’t label the 

limping people, 

the misunderstood people, 

the people with a different ethnicity, skin colour, culture, 

the depressed and struggling people, 

the narcissistic people,

the mentally ill people, sick people, confused people, angry people, hurting people …

— but if you love them.

A kind of miracle happens when we don’t label people but simply and purely love them. 

And love is ultimately not a flighty good feeling, but a steady quiet, prayerful current that could carry the loved person toward ultimate good.

Love is stubbornly praying for your ‘enemies’ till you see ‘enemies’ are illusions & God makes everyone grace in your life. A chosen one. A purpose. A lesson. A grace. 

If we knew what current everyone was trying to battle, there isn’t even one person we wouldn’t help fight their current with the steady prayer of Greater Love.
Wake up. 

See with Christ eyes. 

Go.
