The result of such a move would be the attainment and affirmation of a “wisdom set” which goes beyond present day realities and catapults you into a space in which “foolish things” are neither welcomed nor tolerated. Sense and sensibility kicks in and is displayed in every facet of your being as you are transformed to live, speak, Rule and Reign on behalf of your Father and His Heavenly Kingdom. Thus, during periods of Psychological Turbulence and Manufactured Chaos, you do have the ability to move forward, stay focused, heal yourself with His word. It’s about breaking the prisoner mentality while meditating on His Truth which admonishes you to be anxious for nothing and guard your heart and mind with those things that are true, noble, just, pure, lovely, and of a good report. This will help to build your self-esteem.

Showing up with your scars and owning those emotions that get in the way of your authenticity can change your narrative. He gave you power and authority to renew your mind and be transformed.

When you were created, it is written that you were “very good.” Taking care of your business requires that you stop, reflect, and reorient yourself to this Truth. Moving from where you are to where you ought to be, requires that you endure a process that is meant to transform and not destroy you.

Yet your Creator remains constant with His promise to strengthen, establish, secure, and heal you. Why? Because your story may very well be the healing salve that’s required to bring about restoration and deliverance to others… Beloved you must know that forgiveness plays a significant role in a transformed life. See the Savior as a prototype of what forgiveness looks and sounds like. Do it for you and for others. This is where compassion envelopes you as you envision yourself walking in the shoes of the offender. It’s about Him and not you. You can do this, Yes, you can!
