The Fullness of His Word

Don't allow someone's rejection or approval to become your foundation or the meaningless thing that you place your faith & trust into.

Someone may only come into your life for a season, & it's important to remember that God has a perfect reason for allowing that to be so.

Oftentimes, we are able to glance behind us and see how a person we no longer speak to, whether it be from a dissolved friendship or a relationship, played a role in who we are in this very moment.

Think about it: God may place people in your life to increase your awareness of everything around you & about you.

You learn a great deal about the world through the company you keep. They may introduce you to new experiences: food, travel, fun adventure. You'll have those memories forever. You also discover what your own personal standards are. It's important to know who you wish to let into your inner circle. There has to be a boundary set in place because those seasons can lead us into a world of trouble if we are not careful.

It's also a positive that you do learn about yourself and grow in the process. The seasonal friendships and relationships I've had helped me grow so much from an interactive standpoint. We experience. We change. We grow.

But most of all, it's important to cling to this thought:

Christ loves us more than we can truly comprehend. Those seasons are meant for us, only because He cares so much, knowing how we need to grow. He desires for us to seek love from Him first & foremost, & for our minds to be filled with the fullness of His Word.

So many of us get that wrong. I have more than once. The end of seasons can hurt us deeply, but it's crucial to hold onto the faith in our hearts.

"That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that he being rooted and grounded in love."

"Maybe able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height."

"And to know the love of Christ, which passeth all knowledge, that he might be filled with all the fullness of God".

(Ephesians 3:17-19 King James Version)

The Source of Everlasting Strength

"Life may try to weigh you down, but never let it wear you out." I love that the Lord placed that particular phrase on my heart while thinking about how certain circumstances in our lives can become truly overwhelming. I never enjoy shining a light on all that I face physically, but I will today because it fits well within the message.  Many of you may remember that I experienced COVID last September; as a result, I have dealt with lasting fatigue that carries no reasonable medical explanation, although I am absolutely certain that  living with both cerebral palsy and PCOS may play a significant role. It's now difficult to exert any amount of energy at all. Completing even the tiniest of tasks often feels the same as climbing Mount Everest. Some of those days it seems as if everything weighs me down and wears me out. (writing honestly) I know many who struggle with SO much more than I do. I know I'm never alone in that battle. Maybe you're experiencing one of thos...

Molly's Morning Thoughts: Are You Inviting Jesus In Or Shutting Him Out?

  A Word From Molly : I'm a little late on sharing a thought from yesterday morning but I couldn't go without giving it a place on the blog. I love that the Lord put this on my heart to write because it is SO true. I may turn this into a new blog segment, we shall see, but I hope this speaks to your heart as much as it did mine. Molly's Zone will celebrate its 10th birthday on Monday and I still feel so blessed to have the opportunity to write for Jesus. Molly's Zone has been a little quiet (life has been quite interesting lately) but I cannot wait to share more all throughout the month of September.  I woke up early this morning thinking about something that the Lord placed on my heart I LOVE podcasts & decided to try something new on Spotify the other day & listened to an episode about God's power in the midst of impossible situations and it got me wondering: How often are we guilty of attempting to take on a situation that is too much for us to handl...

For The Messy Heart

Does anyone else actually enjoy cleaning their house or is it just me? When my mother was still working, my absolute favorite chore was laundry. (It may have taken me seven business days to put away my clothes, but I lived for washing, drying, and folding everything.) Adulting is never easy and keeping the rooms of your house clean can be quite overwhelming---especially for those who have everything going on all at once. It does seem as if there's never enough time in the day, doesn't it? Have you ever wanted to take on a "deep cleaning" project only to find that you are completely lost on where to start first? Maybe you've said "oh, I'll do it another day" because you couldn't find the courage or the confidence to face it all head-on.  As the clutter continues to build up and around you, the mess only brings about stress, anxiety, and darkening depression. Living in the midst of a mess will never bring you joy.  This analogy brings us right into...
