AMEN! Reposted from @scribbledevos Your way isn’t working anymore. You know that; you feel that. It’s time to yield, and allow the Lord to bring good things about in you and for you. Proverbs 3:5-12 // Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight. Do not be wise in your own eyes; fear the Lord and shun evil. This will bring health to your body and nourishment to your bones. Honor the Lord with your wealth, with the firstfruits of all your crops; then your barns will be filled to overflowing, and your vats will brim over with new wine. My child, do not despise the Lord’s discipline, and do not resent his rebuke, because the Lord disciplines those he loves, as a father the son he delights in. . . . #dailydevotional #faithoverfear #shereadstruth #faithquotes #dailyencouragement #womenoffaith #womenofgod #biblestudy #christianquotes #Jesuslovesyou #Jesussaves #christianinspiration #christianwomen #daughteroftheking #givemeJesus #coffeeandJesus #christianliving #christianposts #bibletime #biblequotes #dailybible #Jesusandcoffee #wordbeforeworld #bedeeplyrooted #itiswell #gritandvirtue #christiancreative #womenintheword https://www.instagram.com/p/CpnimEbJVAE/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

“I’m not turning it on you! I’m just... I’m tired of trying to explain something that doesn’t need to be explained. I’m not the same person as anyone who might have hurt you in your past. I’m me.” Pierce replied, exasperation in his tone of voice as he did.

“Melina... I’ve told you countless times... she’s a friend, she’s been a family friend for a long time. That’s all. I love you, which I’ve said countless times and I mean it. I just feel like every single time that I say any of those things, you don’t believe me. It’s a vicious cycle.” Pierce sighed, and ran a hand over his face. “What can I do to make you believe me? Because clearly the words are not enough.”

hello 🤎 praying you all are well! . it is impossible, for me, to situate even the most beautiful words together, in ANY language, to articulate my love for Jesus. i cry and am overwhelmed at His sacrifice for my transgressions. why!? why am i continuously forgiven!? why does He love us this way!? we don’t deserve it. . in my Bible study i paused on Ps. 103:12. at the risk of cherry picking scripture, it just reminded me of His infinite sovereignty. . 🍂...”as far the east is from the west, so far does He remove our transgressions from us.” . His boundless forgiveness does NOT give me permission to relax in my sin. i repent daily. i think it’s so salient to be reminded that although He forgives us, our sins still have consequences. these consequences are NOT His way of making us feel perpetually punished, but are in fact the result of disobedience & sin’s destructive nature. . Remember the way David suffered in 2 Samuel AFTER God forgave his sin completely!? i am flawed & i know that upon my repentance, but i have to prove to Him that in the forgiving of my transgressions that i am made anew IN HIM; that i am obedient to Him and not my flesh. . Lord, thank you for your unending forgiveness when i am weakened in my flesh. thank you for loving me unfailingly when i fail you daily. as i wade through the ocean of my sin, i thank you that i am able to give you glory and be sanctified in it. i thank you that i can be drawn nearer to you from glory to glory. . . #wellwateredwoman #biblestudy #prayer #biblejournaling #biblejournalingcommunity #christianwriter #devotional #shereadstruth #encouragement #faith #savedbygrace #christianbloggers #biblicaltruth #soulscripts #biblegram #gritandvirtue #christianblog #christiancreative #grace #praisehim #faithblog #wordbeforeworld #sistersinchrist #womenintheword #chistianbookstagram #biblestudynotes #biblejournal #biblenotes #christianity #biblelettering https://www.instagram.com/p/CAgHdj2hc5J/?igshid=133t8mb57xflr

chanced upon zinemaking recently so i thought i would start making a zine since this portion of the commentary exalting Jesus in exodus left quite an impression on me (and i honestly think that mini zines are pretty cute heh). this one’s about idolatry. i know it isn’t a topic most people would like to talk about, and even i was pretty certain idolatry wasn’t a part of my life. until i realised that don’t have to be worshipping literal, physical idols to be caught up in idolatry. in fact, the many times i sought comfort, satisfaction and whatever only Christ can give me from something else, i was actually idolising that thing. it can be pretty disconcerting and shocking, and we might have difficulties admitting it at times, but it’s true. so here’s some ideas i compiled from the commentary on how to conquer the idols in our hearts! ultimately, it all boils down to us beholding Christ and not giving in to our fleeting feelings. may we always remember to worship only the one true King and give Him our undivided devotion.

Yesterday, we talked about swapping our usual list of New Year’s resolutions for the simple, yet profound desire to be more like Jesus.⁣ ⁣ Of course, the big question is, “How do I do that?”⁣ ⁣ Because, let’s be honest, that’s a heck of a lofty goal. He’s way up there *gestures at sky* and we’re way down here *gestures at ground*.⁣ ⁣ But although he’s God, Jesus didn’t set an unattainable standard while he was on Earth. In fact, he was pretty practical in how he expressed his love for God and for other people.⁣ ⁣ Rather than stressing about how we’re not exactly like the Perfect Man, here are some everyday things we can do to better align ourselves with Jesus’ example.⁣ ⁣ ❤️ Get familiar with the Word by reading the Bible⁣ 🧡 Smile and say “hi” when you meet a stranger⁣ 💛 Keep snacks in your bag to give folks on the street⁣ 💚 Say “sorry” when you know you’re wrong⁣ 💙 Thank God for taking care of you before eating⁣ 💜 Add an extra 2% when you give (or start giving!)⁣ ⁣ See? Not scary or hard, right? We can do this.⁣ ⁣ 💬 What other things could you do to live, love, and look more like Jesus in 2020? ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ #itwondersme#soulscripts#daughterofdelight#shereadstruth#womenintheword#propelwomen#gritandvirtue#christianblog#faithblog#christianwoman#christianliving#nothingisordinary#belovedlife#graceupongrace#chooselovely#dailydevotional#goodgod#gracemakers#wellwateredwomen#shewritestruth#scripture#gospel#newyearseve#resolutions#practical#jesusislord#infographic (at Hamilton, Ontario) https://www.instagram.com/p/B6vY-R_lKe2/?igshid=ldi37c9rrpl7

What transcending the ego with the law of attraction looks like this: ⁣ ⁣ Get out the way of trying get things. ⁣ ⁣ Your highest possible timeline has everything you could ever need or want and more!⁣ ⁣ Focus your energy on the highest possible things, people and experiences. Feel how that feels.⁣ ⁣ Feel the angelic, magically and mystical energy of it. Feel the happiness, the surprise, wonder and excitement. ⁣ ⁣ BREATH IT IN like the smell of your favourite food. Love this energy with your heart. Feel move through you and around you.⁣ ⁣ Notice how there’s not FIXATION on one thing. Notice how there’s no lack. Noice how it’s pure abundance and freedom.⁣ ⁣ Imagine feeling this way daily about your life. Operating from this energy. What would happen? What great things would you experience, who would you meet, what abundance would you attract.⁣ ⁣ The ego mind limits you. You’re confined to your beliefs, the collectives beliefs. Gods telling me to tell you rise up. Move into god! Move into love! Move in to infinity and STOP PLAYING SMALL! ⁣ ⁣ Such a big mouth...⁣ ⁣ Okurr⁣ ⁣ Comment FACTS below if you agree 📠⁣ ⁣ #intuitivehealing #oraclecardreading #ancestralhealing #livinginthenow #positveenergy #livewithintention #purposefulliving #liveyourpurpose #hayhouse #spiritualadvisor #kundaliniyoga #gritandvirtue #livelifehappy #collective #nodoubt #newage #ego #kundalini #5d #energyhealing #1111awakening https://www.instagram.com/p/B1tf6MzHAPi/?igshid=1altw2c9p79ik

Whether you turn to the right or to the left, your ears will hear a voice behind you, saying, “This is the way; walk in it.” ‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭30:21‬ ‭NIV‬‬ • It’s only the 2nd week if 2019. But maybe you already feel a little lost trying to figure out how all the dreams and plans for this year will come to be. As we step out and seek God, He will lead our every step. We might not always get it “right” and that’s okay! Because sometimes the path is messy and full of unexpected turns but He never leaves our side. With his guidance, we can end up exactly where we are supposed to be at the end of 2019.

We all get the same amount of time. Not the same circumstances or the same level of assistance as #Beyonce, but we all get the same 1,440 minutes every single day. The difference between your life, or mine, or Beyonce’s is defined by what we choose to do with those minutes we’re allotted. ⠀ ...⠀ Let me ask you this... What’s your dream? What’s your goal? What’s the thing you’d really like to achieve this year, this month or even just before 5pm today? Maybe it’s weight loss, or learning a new language. ⠀ ...⠀ Maybe it’s finding a better job, writing a book, going back to school or being a better parent. Maybe you want to stop being so stressed out all the time or train to run a marathon. Maybe it's launching a new #business.⠀ ....⠀ Are you actively taking steps to achieve your goal? Not just talking about it, but actually doing.⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ #womenentrepreneurs #momboss #girlboss #tnchustler #womeninbiz #calledtocreate #workfromanywhere #marketinglife #businessclub #socialmediamarketingtip #waketomake #etsysellers #smallbusinessowner #womensupportingwomen #theeveryproject #createcultivate #gritandvirtue #mondaymotivation⠀ ​ (at Savannah, Georgia) https://www.instagram.com/p/BphUa7mFDZJ/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=88obyo3on0wy

there’s only one reason why God who has already forgiven ALL our sins would ever want us to remember our sins: understanding the severity of our sins helps us grasp the depths of His amazing grace when He sent Jesus to die for us, to die in our place. to the extent that mankind is so hopelessly depraved, our God is so overwhelmingly magnanimous. i would like to think that this is an understatement. His grace is wider than the oceans, His love is unrivalled and simply incomparable. https://www.instagram.com/p/BypjccwFd-s/?igshid=14gv91z2fsi50
