Empowerment

I believe that vulnerability is a beautiful thing.

I completely understand when people say I don’t want to be open and share myself to the point I make myself vulnerable and people can use it against me one day.

But being alive a few decades - I have come to understand that it is a lie to think we can auto protect us by building walls around us by not opening up and being genuine with our people.

The hurt and disappointment will come anyway in spite of your walls and miserable try to protect yourself. The truth is that the more we realise how healthy and courageous it is to actually be vulnerable - the more we will feel free to be and allow others to be them selves. 

First of all its good for you and your soul to share and process things that happen to you and at the same time it frees the other person to do the same and experience this freedom of being real. 

I am sitting in a very cute CafĂ© and I look up and see people around me all apart from one or two on their cell phone. No one is having a proper conversation and quality time with each other. Well, let me tell you my friend - this reflects todays society. Really sad to watch. 

Partially I have been affected by this myself by being the executer and the victim. I am trying to put the phone away as much as possible and when I meet up with people I never have my cell in my hands anyway. I believe in quality time with people - and I show attention and respect with that. Undivided attention and time is a precious gift. 

Honesty can at times put you off or really cut you deep. But I think it is necessary at all times but it has to be done in love with the best intention in mind for the person.

Be real - be who you really are without the fear of rejection. If you feel the fear do it anyway. “What if they wont love me after they know me?” Well, then darling they have never loved you genuinely. You don't need these kind of people in your life. Move on! 

There will be people in your life that will love you for who you are and stand by your side no matter what. I have been blessed to have a few of this people in my life and still have them. Thank God.

The people that will accept your beauty and your ugliness. Your weakness and your strength. You are called to be you - no one else but you. Unashamed you!

You are unique and you are beautiful with all your scars and bruises…don’t hide them - now I am not encouraging you to tell your whole story to everyone unless this is your wish - then feel free. Life will teach you wisdom to open up to the people that are worthy of you and your depth.

Let me leave you with the…

Be bold enough to be completely vulnerable and brutally honest - it will disarm your enemies and empower you!

Always,

Our sight

There is beauty in life. There is beauty in me. There is beauty in you. There is beauty in the four seasons. There is beauty in the spring, summer, autumn and winter.

If you only open the eyes of your heart you will be able to see beauty in everything. I said it, in everything. Even in the thing we normally would think - it is everything but beautiful.

Trust me, there is…beauty in everything or at least it used to be once at some point. 
When God created the earth and all that lives in it…he created it to perfection - because he is perfect. Everything God has ever created - is beautiful and perfect.

Our eyes or vision have been distorted after humanity fell into sin. Now we need God’s Grace to adjust our sight and way of seeing things the way he sees them.

When he looks at you and me what do you think he sees?

Once you have accepted Christ as your personal saviour…God the father sees you as he sees his son Jesus Christ. He sees the righteousness of God in Christ - he sees a sanctified - beloved - precious - valuable and unique creation. He sees a daughter or a son.

He does not see your past nor your sin anymore. You have been completely forgiven as though as you had never sinned ever in your life. He did remove once and for all - all transgressions. 
All guilt - all shame - all condemnation.

He delights in me and you - he looks at us and he rejoices and is so proud of you and me. He could not love us more than he already does. His love is unconditional and unlimited…everlasting. It does not depend on anything or anyone.

Once you get a revelation of his love you start seeing yourself and everything else in his undistorted way. You see the truth. The beauty. The divine in us and everything. 

God loves you so much that he wants to improve your life and all that is in you. If you have certain things you fight with or you consider to be a weakness or limit or obstacle in your life or character:

God waits for you with his arm wide open and for you to allow him to heal you and set you free.
The one thing that can heal and free you is: his LOVE. It has all healing power.

I have seen it in my own life. I have come a long way. I have seen him transform me into the real me. The beautiful soul and woman he meant for me to be. Life can be cruel and tough at times and it can hurt you very much. But there is hope! And his name is JESUS.

Love, Hope, Healing and Power has a name my friend: Jesus. Never give up faith nor hope. He is faithful and he will keep his word and promise!

He is good all the times and he is so so so much bigger and better than you could ever even imagine my dear.

Let me leave you with this:

HE loves you unconditionally and without any hesitation or resistance! It has no limit at all - at no time! Relax and bath in this truth!

Always,



Trisha
