โThe LORD is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower.โ - Psalm 18:2
Solomon said in Ecclesiastes, โThereโs a time to speak, and thereโs a time to be silent.โ That doesn't mean never speak up or never deal with conflict; maturity is knowing what time youโre in. Is this a time to speak, to be bold, to let my voice be heard, or is this a time to be silent, to walk away?
Hereโs a key: you have to give yourself permission to be happy. Sometimes weโve bought into the lie that weโre not supposed to be happy. Weโve been through too much; weโve made too many mistakes. If weโre happy, people may not understand. Can I tell you? Youโre supposed to be happy. It's okay to enjoy your life, to laugh, to smile. Happiness starts on the inside.
John's baptism was for sinners. People came to the Jordan confessing their sins and went under the water to show they were turning back to God.
Then the one man who had no sins to confess walked into the river and joined the line.
John tried to stop Him.
Why would a sinless man be baptised? The answer is the whole gospel in one scene. ๐งต
People aren't just TIRED. They're grieving the lives they thought they'd be living by now while trying to survive a reality that keeps moving the finish line.
Not to sound delusional, but please pray for grace. Life isn't really about hard work. It's more about alignment, meeting the right people, grace, mercy, and favour.
i love watching people become more of who they already are. the friend who starts dressing differently. the quiet person who discovers their voice. the artist who stops asking permission. there's something sacred about witnessing somebody become less afraid of their own life.
Ruth didnโt chase Boaz. She carried herself with grace, moved with purpose, and let her character speak for itself. Boaz recognized her value and pursued her with intention.
A man of God wonโt just notice you because youโre available. Heโll recognize that youโre valuable and approach you with the respect, clarity, and commitment you deserve.
Be Ruth. Let God handle Boaz.
Casarnos, tener una casita, hacer el amor todos los dรญas, ir al mercado de la manita, viajar mucho, llegar del trabajo y baรฑarnos juntos, y dormir abrazaditos, eso quiero
