Good morning, DearHeart.
I wonder about people’s MO sometimes. The “mode of operation”. And, I can get all tangled up in analyzing what might be going on in THEIR tangled up heart to make them deliver all cold and heartless… because, if you can’t deliver your message with love, then you should be questioning why you are taking the time to deliver it at all. God heals. He hears in ways others can’t. He sees deeper and as the apple of His eye, He appreciates you. Take that in the next time you face one who comes to bully you. When they turn around what you say and what you do and use it as ammunition. Narcissism prevents a genuine two way conversation. It twists something sinister into the purest motives.
Strike a nerve of one so arrogant, and they’ll strike back to annihilate you. Lots of healthy people are sick with poor judgement and they poison every single interaction. See the exchange for what it is. See the person as another beloved child of The Most High God. Choose your reaction to the enemy’s work through them, but don’t let it get to you … I want you to blaze brightly with His Holiness dripping from you in this world.
Liv had a kite out yesterday and I thought, “little girl fly like that … with all your
colors,
sounds,
and light.
Leverage that light … protect your value … even when facing the adversary, be filled with Christ so we can give more of Him to this world.
“You make known to me the path of life; you will fill me with joy in your presence, with eternal pleasures at your right hand.” Psalm 16:11 NIV
Wake up.
Respond with excellence.
Go.
