Leaving Crumbs

I just finished reading Everybody Always by Bob Goff. I’m not sure how I was able to read the entire book, let alone retain what I was reading while in the car traveling down to Florida with two young and happy ladsters in the back, but it happened. And did this book ever speak to me! What a generous look at being and becoming love in a world full of setbacks and difficult people. You see, it’s easy to love those who are easy to love, but what about the ones who are hard to love? You know, the ones who are different than us, the ones who treat others poorly, the ones who have wronged us, our enemies even?  I’d like to think I don’t have any enemies, at least that I know of, but what would happen if we just loved one another the way Jesus did, drew a circle around ourselves and invited everyone in?

Vibes Don’t Lie

Intuition can be trusted. The more I seek to know God, the more I sense his guidance and know the path I ought to follow. Intuition as I once knew it becomes heightened in a less self-seeking way.

It’s a nudge in the right direction, an outpouring of love from the One who wants for me to succeed and to fulfill my purpose. I say I trust God in everything but there’s some things I’m just not willing to let go of. I must remember that God is calling me to hold firm to His teaching and continue in my belief. While it’s natural to invite my own feelings, fears or rejections in, when I look at it from God’s perspective and through His Word, not through a worldly lens or through the eyes of others, it always works out for my good. It’s never to harm or destroy me. It’s simply for my good. It’s not about what’s right or wrong necessarily, it’s simply about what’s best. His love never fails me. But there’s some good things I have to be willing to let go of and some things of this world that sway me away from the truth that I must hold firmly against if I’m ever going to reach beyond where I am.  The longer I wait to address these promptings and refrain from being influenced fully by the values found in God’s Word, the more strife, anxiousness and chaos there will be in my life.
