Harken thine ears, soften thine hearts!

Normally, we say; once bitten, twice shy.

However, in some areas of life, for some people, we can be bitten a hundred times and still refuse to be shy.
Why? 😅😅

It is called stubbornness.
When God repeatedly says, "NO," but all we hear is "YES." When God repeatedly gives us assignments, but all we do is run. When He tells us to wait, but we rush ahead. When He tells us to move, but we remain planted where we are.

As Christians, you cannot go far with God if you are stubborn.
It won't work.
The Christian walk requires obedience. Not perfect obedience, because we all make mistakes, but a heart that is willing to listen, learn, and follow.

So let me ask you:
• When last did you go on a retreat?
• When last did you intentionally step away from distractions to spend time with God?
• When last did you deactivate social media as part of a fast?
• When last did you obey God in the small things? The tiny instructions nobody else sees?
You and I need to become more obedient to God, trust me.
His burdens are bearable, and His yoke is easy.
The safest place to be is in the centre of God's will.
Stubbornness may delay the journey, but obedience will always move you forward.

Alright?

With love,
Mama

weekly reminder: WORRY- why you should avoid it

"I know that I will live to see the Lord's goodness in this present life." (Psalm 27:13 GNT) The grace of a new day is worth celebrating, remembering us that life is worth living, one day at a time.  Dear Gorgeous, You see, it’s so easy to get lost in tomorrow. We worry about what hasn’t even happened yet: the bills, the children, the job we want, the relationship we’re praying for (for the single brethren among us 🤗). Before we know it, our hearts are heavy with what ifs. But Jesus said in Matthew 6:34, “Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.” He wasn’t dismissing our needs; He was reminding us to live in the grace of today. God gives fresh mercies every morning because He knows we cannot carry tomorrow’s load with today’s strength. Gorgeous, everything you long for will fall into place in its time. 💡 This week, remember: Worry doesn’t change tomorrow. It only steals today’s peace...

(Ponder Wednesday): What is Morality?

Image
Gorgeous,  What is Morality? Is God involved in Morality? Recently, I read a book that said that morality points to God. As in, all humans instinctively know there is right and wrong. That's why we argue using “That’s not fair!”, even when we break it ourselves. Morality is not just instinct or social conditioning. Something deeper judges our instincts. The moral law is real because it tells us what we ought to do, not just what we actually do. So, If a moral law exists, then there must be a moral Law-giver. This points to something like a Mind behind the universe. Because there is a mind behind the universe, we do have cause to be uneasy because this Mind is not neutral. It expects goodness, and we consistently fall short. That should unsettle us. Morality isn’t made up. It points beyond humanity to God, and exposes our failure. Now, what do you think? Do you agree? Can we be morally right without God; ie. only relying on our instincts? If you loved this piece, please ...
