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 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. Sunday is the fourth Sunday in Advent. Advent is a time to anticipate the new things God is doing in our lives and in the world. In this fourth week in Advent, the pressure to pull off the perfect Christmas is really on! Here is a download to remind us that we don’t have to follow all the rules, the traditions and be in control of the perfect Christmas. I would love to hear your thoughts in the comments below. Here is today’s download:
You Are Blessed
Some days we get caught up in keeping the rules trying to live the perfect life. What if in those moments God said to you:
“You are blessed. You are holy. You are loved. You are not perfect and perfection is something that you should NOT strive for. In my view — you are already perfect. Not because of words or deeds but rather because of our love for each other and your willingness to listen to me. Do not dwell on those things that you think seperate you from me because nothing can separate you from me …. Keep yourself and your soul free of the dust bunnies of anger, fear, denial, etc…and nurture my love for you. Acknowledge it. Feel it. Live it. breathe it. You are blessed, you are holy and I love you.”
Do you ever get tripped up by trying to be perfect? Do you ever think God has a to do list that you must accomplish in order to be acceptable? Today’s Download from Heaven reminds us that we are good with God and that we are acceptable the way we are. Can you believe that? Let me know what you think in the comments below
