| | I just came from a women's ministry luncheon thing--it was entitled The Confident Woman. A friend of mine joined a new church and wanted me to come along. I'm very glad I went.
It's good, I think, to experience different churches and how their church culture sees things. I love how beautifully we are all made to come together despite our differences!
Today a phrase I heard a lot was "received that." As in "the doctor told my daughter she would not be well for a month, but we chose to not receive that--and she got well in two weeks."
There was a lot of discussion about women's emotional lives in today's culture, and I realized that most of the women I know--sadly--do not receive love. They may be given it but they do not receive it. They also do not receive healing, hope, or trust.
Trust is a huge one.
Not being trusted, and not trusting others, is a very common path. The Lord has shown me that failure to trust and trust in others will lead you to a narrow life, into a smaller and smaller "comfort zone." Instead of doing great things in your life--pouring out blessings upon everyone you meet--you will only fall further & further into hurtful practices, when you fail to love and trust.
Following Love as your God requires you to walk face-first into the wind, against the flow of the world around you.
Receive Love. Receive Trust. Receive Healing.
