The Heart...Wanda's

Being outdoors can provide clarity and answers to prayers. It brings into perspective the space the people occupy.

When you encounter open doors of opportunity, do you walk through? Or look inside and honestly admit to yourself that this one is not it. Knowing that one day the door will open again and then it'll be time to walk through.

Life—doesn’t always play fair. It is so easy to feel the pull ofsomething heavy— something dark, and loud, and bitter. You don’t have to become hardened just because life was.

When you decide to let go of bitterness—not to excuse whathappened, but to set yourself free—you begin to rise.

That is true strength.

Don’t count out anything or anyone too quickly. And never count yourself out.

Because in the right hands — and that just might be yours —
what used to be… can become something more powerful than ever before.

Life happens to everyone. But it's our attitude towards life that matters. Instead of always being in reactive mode, chasing the next mode, overwhelmed mode, etc., it's good to just be content.

You have added value to someone's life. You might not know the full extent of it. You thought your kindness was just beingpolite. You made a difference in a way only you could.

No matter what we may face, remember that we arenever alone. Psalm 46:1 reminds us that "God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble". He is our safe place, our source of strength, and He is always near.

When the storms of life rage, when fear and uncertaintycreep in, hold onto this truth—God is with us, guiding, protecting, and strengthening us. Trust in Him, for He is our refuge now and always.

No matter how much technology evolves or society shifts, the impact on the heart by kindness, love and encouragement remains the same. We all long to feel seen. We all need hope. We all benefit from love. And because of that, kindness will never go out of style.

Encouragement will never lose its power. No matter how modern life becomes, a smile will still warm a heart. Alistening ear will still bring comfort. A word of appreciation will still uplift.

The language of kindness is universal. It’s timeless. It’s something that every single one of us has the ability to give, and it’s something that will never stop making an impact.

Many are on the receiving end of someone blindsiding them. When reflecting over the situation, a lot of times signs were there that it could happen.

Nevertheless it never feels good and causes one to question the individuals character and integrity.

Have you ever prayed for God to use you to bless someone else, and you had the chance to do just that? Maybe it was to give someone a word of encouragement, offer financial help, or simply be present for someone in need.

I want to encourage you with this: When you ask God to help you bless someone else, He does just that.
