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:

Speak Your Mind in Love

“It may be difficult to play it safe when you are always trying to be nice.  Instead, work on speaking your mind in love. When you speak be kind, work on not being mean, tell the truth in love.  These are dangerous things but can bring about the peace and authenticity that is needed in your life.  So, have courage and know that I am with you whenever you seek to be authentic.  Don’t worry so much about the “right” things to do, rather focus on not being mean,  judgmental or vindictive.  just say what you believe for yourself with being mean, vindictive and without blame or judgment.  I love you.”

Ponder

We live in an opinionated world.  Opinions are good even differing opinions but when they are spoken harshly or defensively, they are often not heard.  When this happens, those with differing opinions find themselves further apart rather than closer together.  This is never the way to peace and understanding.  How do speak your truth without blame or judgment and how to your seek truth when others attack you.  Please share your comments below.
