Speaking To Yourself As A Friend
When left to my own devices, and without intentional thought, I’m entirely too hard on myself. A few years ago someone asked me a very humbling and challenging question that shifted the way I not only view myself, but challenged my concept of grace. In the midst of vocalizing one of my reoccurring and spiraling “should storms,” she delicately asked, “Would you speak to a friend going through the same situation like that?”
Avoiding Secrecy
We are enticed daily to keep our secrets safe by never telling anyone how we really feel: that we are hurting deep down inside, that someone did something bad to us, that if we tell, no one will love us.
Choosing Freedom
Each day we have a choice. We can choose to walk towards the goal and the prize, set before us by Christ Jesus, or we can choose to dwell on the past, sit in our pain, and allow the hurts of our life to overtake us. Here at Mercy Multiplied we are choosing freedom.
What is True?
No one is too messed up for God. Jesus cares. He cares about you, your story, your hurts and your pains, the things you love and your biggest dreams. He loves you and wants an amazing life for you.
I Ate the Mystery
Joy is more than a fleeting emotion. It is something rooted in God’s character and view of us. Only by seeking His face in times of struggle are we able to walk in joy, rather than our emotions. We are excited to have this vulnerable and transparent encouragement from one of our California home staff members.
Who Told You That You Were Fat?
The Voice of Truth is always there, speaking to us if we will listen. I don’t know what voice you are listening to right now. I don’t know what voice you have been agreeing with and believing. Maybe like me, it gets confusing and hard to know. Maybe like me, everyday is a battle to turn your ear towards God's Voice.
