“Did Jesus say “I only do what the Scriptures tell me to do?” NO. He said: “I only do what the Father tells me to do, what I see Him do!”
Fear will not tell me what to do, it will not keep me from my destiny, it will not take away my history, and I will not let it dictate my life’s goals.”
— Kris Vallotton (via lifebygrace)
“Religion rubs our noses in the past to keep us humble. Reviewing the sinfulness of our past in order to become humble is a perversion. It actually creates shame; and shame is a poor counterfeit of humility. Shame is the fruit of humiliation that works against the truth. To maintain consciousness of our sinful past to help us become more humble is the cruelty of a religious spirit; it requires us to keep something in our minds that isn’t in God’s. In reality, it is much more humbling to live in the liberty of unearned forgiveness. When we are forgiven, the King gives us permission to live as though we had never sinned.” — Supernatural Ways of Royalty - Kris Vallotton
the comfort of being near a true friend and sister in Christ is the sweetest joy.
Luke 6:17-49
“Blessed are you who are poor, for yours is the kingdom of God.”
In order to have a kingdom mind and heart we need to be poor. It’s an uncomfortable and maybe even humiliating process to become poor. Synonyms for being poor are words like inferior, limited, deficient, pauperized, needy etc. Though I am a daughter of Christ, and in order to truly grasp my identity as royalty and as wealthy, I need to first become poor.
I cannot attain the riches of the kingdom of God without FIRST becoming poor. I have to become stripped away, impoverished, and unable to do things on my own for the kingdom of God to be mine. Otherwise, woe is me for I will temporarily be rich based on my own human efforts and ability, but that’s it. I feel that this word is very timely because I’ve been indulging in my own pride for far too long. This is not only toxic for myself, but for others. I want to declare that I am poor. I will no longer be self-reliant and self-sufficient, thinking I know all things and have the answers to all the problems.
More to come on this. Just some thoughts. ahhh
There’s a lot of things I don’t understand and not much that I know, but there is one thing that I am sure of:
God is still God, and He is good.

capturvate: freedom is not reckless -
this is great. really great. read it.
let me breathe. let me out. let me be free to roam. to fly. to flitter to the left to the right. up above and down below. let me move at a diagonal once in a while. why can’t you see that you’re limiting me? do you remain oblivious to the exhaustion on my face? you’re holding me back, caging me…
