Feeling Good

Feeling Good

Together with kindness and in understanding, let’s take this time to self reflect. I am here to inspire, encourage,  and remind you that God has given us the most important weapon we have to fight the enemy, his word.

Now let’s dress our bodies like we dress our souls, EVERYDAY!

Feeling Good

“Those who look to him for help will be radiant with joy; no shadow of shame will darken their faces.” Psalm 34:5 NLT

What a beautiful day to stroll through the park, I can feel the wind on my face as unworried birds sing their  songs. I see playful squirrels who have no worries chasing each other up a tree. There is so much beauty in the world. Look at how much you’ve grown as a person this year. You’ve been dealing with the stuff in your life. There is definitely something different about you. I know you can feel it in the way you walk, talk, live, and give. You should be so proud of yourself. You are radiant with Gods joy and no shadows of the past will mess that up!

These radiant joyful moments reminds me of the Iconic song writer, musician, arranger, and civil rights activist Nina Simone.  She sums up just what I am feeling today with her 1965 number 1 song, Feeling Good. “Birds flying high, sun in the sky, breeze drifting’ on by. It’s a new dawn, a new day, and a new life for me. Fish in the sea, river running free, blossom on a tree, dragonfly out in the sun, butterflies having fun, sleeping peace when day is done. Stars when you shine and the scent of the pine, you know what I mean, Oh freedom is mine and I know how I feel. I am feeling good!”

Yes friends, We serve a God who gives Joy! When I think of the goodness of the Lord and how he made away for me I got to tell it!

We are each others keep. Remember the only time we should be looking down on someone is when we are helping them up.
