Oh to be oneself in God. Such a simple and challenging thing.
This is exactly what the Holy Spirit has been whispering to me in my times with Him.
“Be who I have created you to be. Be you.”

Blessings to you as you continue to write.

Thank you for visiting, Susan!
I guess I am a mini-Isaiah, though with the energy of a Habukkuk. Though if I make the Sovereign Lord my strength–who knows? 🙂

I’m definitely a Jeremiah-type… with an awe, and perhaps envy, of Isaiah-types.

I do love visiting your blog – thank you!

“Once I refocus from “worldly successes” back to Kingdom perspective all things become new. ”
Absolutely. There is a lot of freedom and peace in that reorientation!

Hi Jim–yes, speaking to us on the narrow paths to peace!

When we focus on “writers publishing, connecting, shining” it is easy to lose sight of the unique message that God allows to shine through you. That message goes forth to tough hearts and lives in ways we will never know this side of heaven. I really understand where you are coming from on this. I have had many similar moments. Once I refocus from “worldly successes” back to Kingdom perspective all things become new. Thanks for sharing! God bless

I think that the Lord is speaking to us in the same way!
Blessings!

Jim

When we stop wishing for gifts we don’t have, we can finally appreciate the ones we do. Acceptance of one’s self is perhaps one of the most liberating stages to reach in life.
