My Moms tacos are fuel for the body, but they also taste so good!
.
In the same way, the Word of God is fuel for our spiritual being which is so important, but it also fills us with so much HOPE.
.
Remember, if we are reading the scriptures, and we don’t walk away with more hope, more life, more comfort, and feeling more loved by God.... we’re reading it wrong.
.
“For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope.”
‭‭Romans‬ ‭15:4‬ ‭
.
“O taste and see that the Lord is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in him.”
‭‭Psalms‬ ‭34:8‬ ‭
.
As we read the Bible, let’s find ourselves trusting in the One who is so good, and brings us all so very much hope. 🙌🏻

The thing I love about family is they tell you how it is. We don’t need yes men. We need people who bring us back to reality and have fun while doing it. Surround yourself with people who embody truth, it’ll keep you from going into the tall grass 😀

The hierarchy of our humanity has no uncertain order: we are first emotional and secondly social and THEN rational creatures. Thinking machines we are not. Conceding that, the social influence you’re letting into your life can change your heart which is inextricably intertwined to your mind. That’s why I write to you as if I was conversing with a friend to heal your broken heart by going through your mind and recalibrating your thought life. It’s hard for us to act rationally. The rat brain takes over. In order to think logically we’ve got to tackle the issues with intentionality. That’s why when I share, we don’t just talk socially about friendventures nor merely emotionally swap sob stories, but intellectually we get all science-y and appeal to your rational mind! The first message of Jesus was: “Repent, for the kingdom of God is at hand.” The word “repent” does NOT mean scourge yourself with a whip but literally in Greek it just means to change your mind! Repent in the original langauge is metanoia (the first part means metamorphosis like a caterpillar to a butterfly), the definition is literally to change your mind. Metamorphose the way you think, the kingdom of joy in the Holy Ghost is within you...so possess your possessions and reclaim the happiness lying dormant inside!
