Friday Food is a little bit of food for your soul. A little something to feed your soul, to remind you that you are loved, that you are not alone and that there is hope. Friday Food is just a little something to encourage you along the way. Looking for more inspiration? View the entire Friday Food series here.
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. We will be exploring messages from God about pain and suffering and healing and 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.
Refocus on God
As we journey through life, sometimes we feel lost and alone. What if, during those lost and alone times, God said to you:
“Do not despair about my nearness or lack thereof. If I do not feel near — stop and give thanks and praise. Soon your eyes will be open and you will know of my presence. You will know that I sit with you in peace. You will know that my love is everlasting and my hope is eternal. And in all of this you will know that I am near. When you go too fast, you will think I am not near. But I am. You have just gone so fast that you forgot to acknowledge my presence. I am always very near. Nothing can keep me from you. I love you.”
In Today’s Download from Heaven, we are reminded that when we get ahead of ourselves or God, we might feel alone and need to refocus, re-center ourselves in order to get clarity about next steps. What do you do to get refocused in order to live a life of joy? Tell me about it in the comments below.
