Welcome to Friday Food! A little bit of food for your soul…every Friday. For the next few months, we are looking at “Downloads from Heaven”. In these “downloads” we are contemplating what it would be like if we got a message from God (however you understand God). We will be exploring messages from God about pain and suffering and healing and blessing and love and peace other topics too! When you read these “downloads” you will notice that they are in quotes. This is to help you think from your heart NOT your head. Don’t get caught up in whether or not God, (however you understand God) actually said these things. Just let them speak to your heart. I would love to hear your thoughts in the comments below. Here is today’s download:
Rules Are Not Your Only Guide

“Don’t let the rules be your only guide. There are many rules and they can be helpful but don’t let the rules oppress your Spirit. Some rules were meant only for a season. If the season for that rule is over and you insist on keeping that rule out of season, then you run the risk of becoming a slave to the rule. As a result, you might imprison your soul consequently you run the risk of getting stuck in taking the next step in your spiritual growth. It’s possible to feel oppressed by the rules. Therefore, free yourself from rules that do not help you grow in love because love is the only rule. I love you.”
Ponder
We live in a very rational world. We make many of our decisions in life in very sequential and logical ways following the rules. However, it is also good to engage our heart when making decisions. Therefore, the next time you are pondering a decision after you have gone through your logic thinking, give your brain a rest and see what your heart has to say about what to do.
