I wrote a poem over the weekend as I took some time to think about an encounter I had with God as He brought me out of my despair and set me on his firm foundation. We can be filled with so much and feel overwhelmed or like we are just existing, but the Father hears us and will lift us out of it all to set us on the path he has destined for us. Grab ahold of hope and be encouraged!

Join me today as we dive in to talk about receiving Heavenly Father's love. If you are anything like me, you may have known how to build a wall quicker than realizing what's been missing. As we walk through brokenness and hard things we may not know this is something we are struggling with.

When we have felt broken and in the midst of our healing God will nudge us, but it can be hard tobsay yes to him when we are afraid something might go wrong. The brokenness we feel in this area can actually be from our own disobedience. Running and pretending we haven't heard him does not make it go away. He has a plan for our lives and its so much more fulfilling than what we can create for ourselves.

Following the ways of this world can leave us feeling broken and have us blowing in the wind, with no clear direction.

Listen, we are not people pleasers, we are not weak, we are not set in with the world, we are not ones that bow down to the world.

You have been set apart.

You are not a follower.

We have CHRIST dwelling inside of us. That truth alone will shift things if we can grasp it. This is a time for us to truly know what the word of God says for our benefit, so we won't be led astray and deceived.

People can come against us in so many different ways and it can sting like nothing else, but when we know THE truth, we can have knowledge and wisdom to let it go as we remember that they don't have power over us. We will remember that the battle is not against flesh and blood.

I have heard the inner cries of women around me. There is this inner cry of women wanting to step into more, but fear, the voices and opinions of others, and societal expectations cripple us more than anything. I have felt the struggles and seen the setbacks. I have seen the effect of the lies we have been fed. Those lies disrupt our belief system and kill our confidence. We are hearing that we should step into who we are, but there are so many blocks and its so hard. 
The biggest cry is we don’t even know what we carry. We don’t know what’s truly inside of us. We may have had a glimpse, or maybe its right there in front of our faces, but we constantly play it down, even talking negative over it. We get stuck in this trap of, we are a nobody and that what we bring to the table is no good. There may have been a time when we were younger and someone came to you, telling you their opinion of you or your gifts and talents, crushing the little bit of confidence you were holding on to. 
So you walked away feeling defeated and actually believed them.

Have you walked around feeling broken and unloved, never feeling good enough and you have carried that around for so long? Sis, none of that is your truth, so take a listen to be encouraged and begin to understand how Jesus loves you so much.
