"remember that the task is to move through your wounds, not to live in them. Don't waste time by thinking, acting, or praying like a victim. Feeling victimized only adds to your illness, and should it become a full-time state of mind, it would qualify as an illness itself."

"for God did not give us a spirit of timidity, but a spirit of POWER, of LOVE, and of SELF-DISCIPLINE."
- 2 timothy.

I've quoted this verse on my blog about a hundred times - and I do it so often because it's one I want desperately to sink in.
(faith by osmosis, right MP?).
I am convinced that we have the power to choose blessings over curses, growth over bitterness, and joy over mourning, every single day.
God gave us that power.
because no matter what, we always have hope.
And when we turn our hearts towards that hope - the hope in our ultimate redemption - we open our eyes to seeing God and His work.
and what better encouragement can there be than that?

i bet God enjoys our little games.
i bet He also mourns how easily we miss that He has already written onto our hearts TRUTH.. how we have to write it again + again, learn it again + again.
i bet He rejoices in those moments when the osmosis pays off and we “get it” for fourteen glorious, cathartic, awe-inspiring seconds.
