Every single person desires God, how we acknowledge it, respond to and the time we realize it, differs. We desire God because we are spirits, and our spirit beget His, our frequency is always in tune with His whether we choose in a moment in time to live through that truth or not. He is ever present and omnipotent. We desire him because He is always with us (Mat 28:20), reading this as you are (even as also, He fortold it). Our desire for Him is also because He desires us first (John 15:16). We need not make mental efforts to access Him because His calling on who He made is that apparent and magnetic and causes us to desire Him. The time will come for those who haven't encountered Him, and the time will never end for those who think they've desired Him enough and have a track record of putting effort because we are not the source of the desire for God.

The biggest challenge human beings have when they or others are going through bad situations, regardless of whether they got themselves into them or find themselves in those positions for whatever reason, is not being quick to write people off. We lack the resilience to fight for them despite the pain, embarrassment or detriment they cause us or that we cause if we are in situations. We lack foresight that our persistent hope can help one/ourselves out or the general knowledge and compassion that we are really just 'going - through' the consequence of bad choices and it is not the end. And we don't get that if someone /we is/are failing in one or two things it doesn't mean we/they are a failure in all things. And i mean also in those exceptional situations and where you can prove you've tried, it still doesn't warrant a write off.

Grace is even more beautiful when sung😊. There is so much to be grateful for amid all the chaos in the world and in our lives and even when it's hard to find anything tangible to be grateful for, we can atleast be grateful for spiritual solace. 🎤Let us sing to the Lord and have his glory come down.. It's actually a funny one to listen in 🤭😊. More grace🌺

We are enticed and tempted every day into bad habits and decisions that only lead to detrimental consequences such as failure, wasted time, money, delays to finish projects, attain qualifications, keep bad relation - ships, inability to accumulate wealth or redeem ourselves, and general toxicity. We reason our way into staying too long or not starting or stopping, we ok bad and fear discomfort and choose a little pleasure one more time. But discipline isn't impossible, you need to want it though, to benefit from a life of self discipline, the prize needs to outweigh the shame, laziness, close mindedness that pleasure is only experienced in one way and losses we experience. The peace, health, new friends, new clean adventures, savings, reputation and successes should motivate our consistency and attempts, even if we fail along the way. The pain that comes with it dictates life to bring virtues that are in accordance with your efforts. Discipline is indeed better than sacrifise.

You/they have the vision, a plan, the intent and have probably made an/attempts at it but it only lasts a few hours, truths, outings, services, lessons, networking, meals, sessions, verses and you go back to what's easy and routine? Ultimately you are what is said 'to be unready for/to change' but is it really that or are/is what you/they aren't ready to deal with, work on or commit to the deep psychological, emotional, pride-/fear-ful influences within/out you? Could it be knowledge, time, affirmation etc that you need/lack that could help you make the change endearing, compelling, exciting? What is your 'readiness' or 'will' being suffocated by? Deal with that first!

Ever been frustrated because you needed support and had people around but still had the void? Or felt you have given your all in being there for someone but they seem not to appreciate or be satisfied by your efforts? I've learnt that support is not a one size fits all and it matters when it counts, and 'its counting', is qualified by meeting aligned expectations from those in need of support. However to know, how to make it count, there must be clear and timely communication between you and who you are supporting and/or who you expect support from. It cannot be assumed or expected without communication.

We will never stop judging i guess, but how about we challenge & adjust our lances and stop forming conclusions by using our deceptive negative perceptions. As with confusing salt for sugar and vis-a- versa, How will you know if you don't lick the salt and sugar to know what you are peceiving? I often think of how intense our judgements are and how we never shy away from sharing them. Invalidated as the infor /our perception is, we always want to relay it. But Can our judgements ever add +ve value? Do we ever want them to? Or could we ever try to be intentional about spreading goodness and forfeit the thrill of being the bearer of negative news about people and situations we don't really know much about? Do we challenge what we want to be to/in the greater life once we are exposed to these judgements?

We all have an unsuspected reserve of strength inside that emerges when life puts us to the test. We are never strong in all facets of our lives, but 'the strong' will always be stronger in more than one aspect of life i.e. Mental and financial and you struggle emotionally. Strength isn't the absence of weakness, but experience gained over time and knowing how to use weaknesses to recharge strength. The strong do not wait for someone to come save them, coz over time, no one came to save them. Strength requires you to understand that when you are in adversity, you are a chosen contender and the focus should be on the victory and not why you or how sad it is that you are challenged. Strength often is a consequence of the fear to give up coz that means taking residence in your current adversity. To be strong you need knowledge, what will you fight with, and how, if you do not understand your foe. Understand it so you can be it.

You are serving your purpose in everything that you are, do and every second of your life. You live in purpose even without your knowledge. There is a reason for the 'make up' that you are, you had to be exactly as you are from birth/childhood to date because your purpose has been in conversations, relationships, abilities, goals, failure, play days, etc in all scenarios imaginable that you have. No one can impact anyone as you except you. You are the Purpose, it doesn't start at a certain age, attained after some accomplishments, need a certain audience, it is not learnt or qualified you are your Purpose just as you are..

Nothing can be faulted when all is truth, right and valuable to the one beheld (incl where we're our own beholders). I'm a believer in that, Truth is absolute but people are subjective. With that, what bothers me is the esteem accorded to the subjection (and lies about) measures of 'beauty' that impacts lives so greatly by sources/beholders/beings that we know are incapable of being perfect, determining measures of perfection. Such a contradiction that even i struggle with even after dishing my fair share. Where and when were we mandated to measure what is beautiful, exceptional and gruesomely impose and use judgement to discredit one over another beats me. I continue to try to comprehend such dictions though without blowing my mind, one can't help but wonder what it would all be like when such wasn't a thing to go by. Where what is, is as it was created and absolute, without being marinated by our flawed add ons and reshaping.
