Let Their Walls Fall Down… #Encourageoneanother

watch carefullyEncourage each other…

Be gentle, and listen with a warm heart.

“For God did not appoint us to suffer wrath but to receive salvation though our Lord

Jesus Christ.

He died for us so that whether we are awake or asleep, we may live together with Him.

Therefore encourage each other and build each other, just as in fact you are doing.”

Thessalonians 5:9

I am always so thankful… and so deeply aware of those whose hearts see the me I can so easily keep hidden away…

Anxiety can make you say and do strange things… lol!

When you chose to see the good in others they can can sense your heart of tenderness and care.

To see the good in others is my heart’s desire…

It fills my life with passion, takes my eyes off of myself, and helps me to present the beauty of God’s love in a way that I so desperately needed before I met Him…

Oh, Lord,

May my heart be tender, and my words be few.

 May you use my heart, my days, and my life to be a vessel that sees the good in others…giving them a safe moment to let their walls down…

 Your love encourages and changes my heart day by day…

It seems to me that’s the least I can do…

It’s so easy to feel judged and unworthy…and sometimes those feelings are so present that we find ourselves becoming someone we don’t want to be..

We start building walls, pushing people away… and when we walk away, we blame ourselves, or begin to judge harshly the motives of the other person…

How I pray I would be able to stop that conversation… or feeling with words of hope, beauty and grace.

Remembering who I am in You… gives me the awesome desire and strength to love bigger, and to forgive even quicker. I want to be a vessel that helps others see the hope of salvation, and the beauty of Your grace..

Today I will be more about love…. and way less about judgement…

Oh Lord,

   It is my deepest joy to leave a little bit of Your beauty wherever I go..

Forgive me the times I start to lose my passion, and get sucked into feelings of fear… the feelings that make me want to defend myself, and be someone I used to know..

That is the moment my eyes have turned  away from loving hand…

How I pray, those In my world will have the comfort to be themselves, that they would let their walls down, and see the beauty of Your love surrounding their heart…

I pray this in Jesus Name,

Amen

Live in Love,

“For you were once in darkness, but now you are light in the Lord.

 Live as children of light (for the fruit of the light consists of all goodness, righteousness and truth)  and find out what pleases the Lord.

Have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness..

Ephesians 5:8-11
