Just stay with it, fellow sojourner in Jesus. Keep putting one foot in front of the other. When you can’t go any further, sit down & rest till you can. Run when you’re able. Collapse when you must. Help others back to their feet when you can. This perilous journey ends in bliss.

There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves punishment, and the one who fears is not perfected in love. – 1 John 4:18 #Bible

Do not quench the Spirit.

Do not quench [subdue, or be unresponsive to the working and guidance of] the [Holy] Spirit.

Do not stifle the Holy Spirit.
Do not restrain the Holy Spirit.
Don’t put out the Spirit’s fire.

For the Lord gives wisdom

Proverbs 2:6

[shiny & sparkly @shiny_sparkly]

If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives generously to all without reproach, and it will be given him.

But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea that is driven and tossed by the wind.

Not that we are sufficient in ourselves to claim anything as coming from us, but our sufficiency is from God

2 Corinthians 3:5

[Aundi Kolber, Therapist+Author @aundikolber]

I love that Jesus chose to appear with scars on his hands.

He could have shown up flawless; instead he modeled something different.

Perhaps healing doesn’t come from ignoring our wounds or humanity—but by participating with God as we embrace the whole of our stories.
