Living for The King💒

“One of the ways God encourages us to change is by constantly starting things over. He created you to sleep, so every night you lie down and go into an odd kind of coma for about 8 hours and then you wake up and start another day. Think of it like a do-over. And it’s not only you. The whole earth is starting over every morning. And it’s not only days that start over, it’s the seasons, too. Soon it will be spring, again, for the millionth time. But it will be all new to us. And then summer and then winter, always changing, always starting over, always inviting us to do the same.”

You may water others’ roots, but don’t forget to water your own as well. You deserve to bloom just as much as anyone else.

Remember that the bricks that you carry right now are gradually building your house, one by one, slowly but surely.

Fear doesn’t stop you. Not at all. You are so courageous that not even the darkest of skies can shake you. You are so brave that not even the loudest of storms will scare you. You are not controlled by fear. It has no power over you. And you continue to have the ability to overcome it.

“Close your eyes and imagine the best version of you possible. That’s who you really are, let go of any part of you that doesn’t believe it.”

“It is through risking being hurt that we gain the greatest love. There is this trust involved in giving and receiving love. May it come to the softened hearts, in the fullness of time, in the most beautiful of forms. May the form be one that our heart recognizes and needs.”

Sometimes I forget to listen. I forget to let a friend be. To tell their whole story and paint their full heart into the air.

If words were wounds
