Fear, Great Things and Mistakes

When you're wrong, you're wrong, but just don't be afraid to be wrong. Great things don't come from people who are afraid to make mistakes!

Love your Enemy

Think about the person for whom you you have limited or no empathy. What that person wants more than anything is love, i'm talking, unconditional forgiveness and empathy.

Give it to them!

The love of God for you is undying! Why should your love have limits?

After all, the people who are most despised today are considered to be people with a limited capacity to empathise and forgive, i.e. to love. Right? Get it?

To hate a hater, is hateful. Period. Love for the sake of love. Love for the sake of God, who loved you first. <3 :-) <3

Meeting a Counsellor

Haha! So I seized the opportunity to see a counselor today to talk about life and whatnot. By the time we finished talking she seemed pretty uplifted, she even asked to know which Church I go to!

The love of God strikes again! hehe

Come and hear, all you who fear God;
let me tell you what he has done for me.
Psalm 66:16

That which has not been exposed cannot be refined.

Don't be afraid to ask for what you want. Even if, by asking, you expose yourself somehow. Don't be afraid to be vulnerable. If you want it, it's worth risking the rejection. Don't be afraid of wicked people that would rub your face in it either. If you're scared of them, you're scared of most people. To avoid being vulnerable, is to avoid being yourself. 
That which has not been exposed cannot be refined.

Grateful and Blessed

I wake up grateful, I live grateful and then I go to sleep grateful. I'm elated so much so that I want to serve at all times. A Love fanatic. I can't change my mind about how great God (who is Love) is and I struggle to change the subject because I am blessed!

Praise be to God,
who has not rejected my prayer
or withheld his love from me! Psalm 66:20

Some Encouragement - Just Do It!

Don't be afraid to do anything mate. You're a legend. It's ok to be a fish out of water sometimes. You learn a lot of valuable things outside of your comfort zone. Just don't be "put off" from anything. You have no idea what greatness lay ahead of you. Don't cower out of it. Just do it!

Facing Reality

Today, Feb 15 2017, while scribbling in my journal, I noticed a man peeping at the paper laying beside me in the waiting area of the train station. Slightly panicked, I quickly told him not to get "too comfy" with it because it's mine.
He says, "I'm just peering, I actually don't like to read the Evening Standard. Too much bad news. It makes me depressed, I avoid picking it up but when it's within peering distance, I can't resist a look."
I says, "well there's no need to be depressed about the news buddy. When I see something awful I pray about it and for the people involved and get on with life stress free."
He says, "well I don't believe in that. I choose to firmly face reality."
I says, "...but you don't face reality. You avoid reading the paper altogether."

The train arrived as I finished speaking and he got on a different carriage sans a copy of the newspaper.
