Judgment rises


I can feel the judgment in me rising to the surface. Things I haven't even thought about in months...now right in front of me. Isn't that the way it usually unfolds.

So what do you want me to do with this God?

I'm still angry and feel there's been a lot of injustice within these situations...

Please bring restoration on every side. Help me remove myself. This is not mine to carry.
You are worthy of praise and worship. We are all unclean and 'unworthy' but you love us. You love each and EVERY one of us. My worship is no different coming from any other person. You love us. I need help reminding myself of that. I'm quick to jump and be like "pfft, they're not ready to love you the way I love you" ...but who knows their heart? Not me. I know nothing. You know everything. Keep changing my heart to align with Yours. Change my mindset. I'm so sorry for the way I act. Looking back, I can't even believe I feel the way I did. Who am I?

I'm Your Beloved... And so are they.
Hold them in your arms and soften their hearts like you do to mine.

You're amazing.

Keep Holding On

I can hear God singing this...


You're not alone
Together we stand
I'll be by your side, you know I'll take your hand
When it gets cold
And it feels like the end
There's no place to go
You know I won't give in
No I won't give in

Keep holding on
'Cause you know we'll make it through, we'll make it through
Just stay strong
'Cause you know I'm here for you, I'm here for you
There's nothing you could say
Nothing you could do
There's no other way when it comes to the truth
So keep holding on
'Cause you know we'll make it through, we'll make it through

So far away
I wish you were here
Before it's too late, this could all disappear
Before the doors close
And it comes to an end
With you by my side I will fight and defend
I'll fight and defend
Yeah, yeah

Keep holding on
'Cause you know we'll make it through, we'll make it through
Just stay strong
'Cause you know I'm here for you, I'm here for you
There's nothing you could say
Nothing you could do
There's no other way when it comes to the truth
So keep holding on
'Cause you know we'll make it through, we'll make it through

Hear me when I say, when I say I believe
Nothing's gonna change, nothing's gonna change destiny
Whatever's meant to be will work out perfectly
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

La da da da
La da da da
La da da da da da da da da

Keep holding on
'Cause you know we'll make it through, we'll make it through
Just stay strong
'Cause you know I'm here for you, I'm here for you
There's nothing you could say
Nothing you could do
There's no other way when it comes to the truth
So keep holding on
'Cause you know we'll make it through, we'll make it through

Keep holding on
Keep holding on

There's nothing you could say
Nothing you could do
There's no other way when it comes to the truth
So keep holding on
'Cause you know we'll make it through, we'll make it through

Passion


I'm just thinking about passion right now - the things that are right in the core of who you are.
Things that feel natural, things that bring you joy and excitement.

The complexity and simplicity of life and reason.

What brings you joy, what excites you, what are you passionate about?

And why?

There's definitely a reason behind it.
Maybe it's a hobby, a past time, a job - extreme or not - everyone has something in them that fulfills them when they do it.

What's yours?
Do you make time for it?

Would life be more fulfilling if you made time & room for the things you were passionate about?
Not everyone has the same passions, right?
There has to be a reason it's in there...

I think so.
