Criticism without a desire for the other’s well-being or restoration is not constructive – it’s satanic.
→ The Holy Spirit is the advocate, the encourager, the champion (he builds up).
→ The Satan is the accuser, the critic, the destroyer (he tears down).
The love that does not flow out from you,
dies in you.
Just like unused muscle,
love ungiven deteriorates;
Give it away & it will strengthen within you.
Thank you, God, for making me into someone I never asked to be.
Your desires for me—and your love for me—are far greater than my own.
Please help me to trust you as you lead me into places I would never choose to go on my own.
Hot take:
Women who use their physical allure to get what they want are akin to men who use their strength to get what they want.
One is culturally more acceptable right now, but they’re the same thing.
