He likes me, He likes me still

 

He likes me, He likes me not. He likes me, He likes me still.  

When I went to a bible study during the blackout there were people who prayed over me. There were two vision they had from God. One was a pink rose and me picking the petals off saying .. he likes me, he likes me not, he likes me, he likes me not. One of the prayer leaders said that sometimes i don't think God even likes me, that sometimes  I believe that God likes me only when i do Good. He told me that God likes me all the time, so  the truth really is ... God likes me, and he likes  me still. The second vision was a diamond, and a lightening bolt coming down and striking it, he said no matter which way you strike a diamond, no matter which way you look at it, it is still beautiful. It's so amazing how God sheds like on our uncertainties where we most need him to. God wants his women to know that they are beautiful and loved, but many of us struggle with this! I am so thankful that God addressed that issue, because i've wrestled with it.  Now i sure do feel loved, there is no guessing about God's love, it is certain, strong, and constant no matter what we do. A little girl picks flowers guessing and wondering  if a boy loves her or not, but a women who has a deep relationship with God does not focus on the world or wonder in anxiety because God's love is enough, and it never keeps her guessing.

The Gift of Speech

Last night the power was out in all of SD county. I was planning to go to  a church event which was almost an hour away with a friend. I felt defeated in my efforts, we canceled the trip because the outage created so much traffic. It ended up still being a great night. I went to a bible study with my friend, there was music and everyone was sharing stories. There was a guy in a wheelchair who had a speech problem. When he would speak it looked like he had to exert so much energy to muster even a sentence.His message was so sweet, simple, and honest. He was talking about how in conversations it's on us to communicate or not communicate, it's a choice that can act like a chain. He said he gets scared sometimes to bring up issues, because the conversation could not go in favor if he does. Those relationships that he cherishs he hesitates more to communicate. Although the man in the wheelchair had a serious speech problem, he still sees the importance of it, he still struggles to speak up too and realizes how fear is paralyzing. The choice to communicate should not be taken for granted, we should use it, because some people in the world do not even have the gift of speech.
