A two fold notion to the thought that we are more deceptive to ourselves the most to think that here and now is all there is to life. . . One in that we insist on our judgements and limited knowledge and aren't receptive to different realities and two that we take for granted our acts in the present time that have impact that actually echoe into our future.

Enquire of the Lord your definitive positioning. It is not enough to have found out your purpose and who you are once at some point in time, your continued journeying warrants you to seek your Lord ordinance from the Lord through mainly knowing God as all these will be revealed during such encounters.

With different seasons and circumstances comes the challenge to show up, and show up as yourself. Gorata reminds us through a quote that says "maybe becoming yourself is not about becoming anything but unbecoming everything that you are not", she further reflects on continuing to find oneself and encourages that one has to have compassion and be kind to yourself.

If there's one thing 'mess ups' like doing is twist your arm to condemn you and convince you 'your mistake or bad choice is what you are after all'..so that you give in and stay messed/ing up.

Your bad choice will hold your tongue and seclude you, it not only fears being exposed to others but fears your light, your scrutiny, it fears that you will abandon it. So it keeps you hooked and drags you far from the path of righteousness and in the process destroy every other thing around you.

Your faults will measure you against perfection, it will make you think everyone around you sees and judges you, when all the while they're minding their business.

Don't allow your mistakes, flaws and bad habits to submerge you into the deep, no matter how far off you've wandered, how many times you've repeated it and the damage caused.

Don't let guilt wear you out and just because you don't see a way out does not mean there isn't. Seek the counsel of those who don't do what you've done and those who have overcome. After all we are not only bad, explore the goodness in you.

WANT OUT! Seek the Lord's help. Your silence and only keeps you in the dark. Don't find comfort in darkness, staying there only steals your future.

Don't succumb to distractions, Don't let them be the reason for your lack of progress. Overcome, want your breakthrough bad enough to strive to focus.

🌸We take for granted the love, time, money, people and whatever situation we find ourselves in as we journey in this life. I thought on this subject and I'm convicted that surely something can be done, by each of us individually that is. We can't always feel bad and bw hopeless each time things come to an end, we can learn from mistakes and be intentional, we can invest effort to experience things in their fullness and treat them according to the value they have aside from our measure of worth. Just like any other thing, we need to put in the work🌸

Gorata shared 1 Corinthians 6:11-13, READ IT🌸 .... it will set you up to appreciate this episode fully. . 🌸 She says to : Find your release from letting go of what's holding you back | Centre yourself on who you are outside of the demographics you were fit into from birth | Continue to learn and read | Remember whose you are, stay connected to your maker | and finally hold the space for other to be unapologetic. A beautiful sharing indeed on how these can channel you to being who you are supposed to be. Tune in to hear more on this grace filled sister chat🌟💛
