Do more of what God loves 😌

We often see “Do more of what you love.” I absolutely agree with this. However, I find that what I really, truly love aligns to what God loves.

If Lord is the light of your life, darkness cannot over come. Going by your own wisdom to navigate life’s hardest challenges is a risk you don’t want to take anymore. It can literally take you out.

I get it. You’ve been broken. Your kindness, your time, and your mind has been taken for granted. Heal, friend. Mean it this time. The bitterness will be gone, the pain will go away, and everything you believe you lost will be new, better, and in abundance.

When you really choose healing and you walk in what God has for you, not forcing something that isn’t meant but letting go, watch things change.

When you stay lock step with the Master, you love what you do and who you are inside and out. If you find bitterness in your heart, return to God who knew you and loved you before you even came into being.

Intentional living is joyful living with God as the head of your life. Your testimony will help another enter the kingdom because God’s children cannot continue to walk around with our head’s hanging down. Of course, we are human and have moments, but don’t let a moment or terrible experience dictate your entire purpose or being.

Let’s come together as the body of Christ, lifting each other up in love and praying for each other.

... Read moreLiving a life that aligns with what God loves is a profound journey that deeply enriches one’s spirit and daily experience. From my own reflections and experiences, embracing intentional living means consciously choosing to center your actions and decisions on spiritual values rather than fleeting desires or pain. Many of us face moments of brokenness where kindness and our best efforts feel unappreciated. I’ve found that the key to healing starts with surrender—surrendering the need to control every outcome and trusting that God’s plan is better than our own. This surrender often leads to renewed strength, a lighter heart, and an abundant return of blessings that we might have thought lost. Walking hand-in-hand with faith, especially with God as the guiding light in your life, helps you navigate the darkest times. It’s not about having all the answers yourself, but about allowing divine wisdom to replace your own fears and doubts. This shift changes the way you see challenges—not as obstacles but as growth opportunities. Intentional living also means loving yourself as God loves you. It calls for forgiveness—not just towards others but towards yourself. Bitterness and pain can cloud your inner peace, but by consciously choosing to let go and heal, you create space for joy and purpose to flourish. Your story and testimony have immense power. Sharing how you’ve overcome hardships with faith can inspire others to find their own path to healing and kingdom living. This collective support within the body of Christ strengthens us all, reminding us that we are not alone. In practical terms, I encourage setting daily intentions rooted in gratitude and faith, praying for guidance, and seeking fellowship with like-minded believers. Over time, these habits cultivate a joyful life where your passions truly mirror what God cherishes—love, kindness, healing, and purposeful living. Embrace intentional living, and watch the transformation unfold.
