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.
Living in Joy
All of us are trying to discern how to live in a way that brings joy, peace, happiness and love. Sometimes it seems a lot of effort. In those times of discouragement what if God said to you:
“I am with you. Rest in me. Be healed, be whole, be yourself — be the person you are called to be. Be refreshed in my Spirit — give all doubts, worries, fears, anxiety — give them to me. Fill your heart with love, joy and thanksgiving. Sometimes this takes effort on your part and sometimes it comes naturally. The more you work at it the more natural it becomes. You are my wonderful creation, made in my image. There is no other like you who can do what I call you to do. Thank you for your obedience. I love you.”
Sometimes we forget that we are called to a very special task and we are the only one who can do it. Sometimes it requires that we do things on our own and sometimes it requires the work of a group or a community. Either way, today’s Download from Heaven reminds us that you have a very specific gift and way of being in the world and that gift makes the world a better place. Share in the comments below how your life is making the world a better place.
