Reflection Friday

It also isn’t always ugly either.

Happy Friday my Yielded people! I am so grateful to the Lord today because I am healed! I had quite a week but God has healed me and restored my health.

How’re you?

How’s your heart? How’s your mind? I know you just read through quickly but pause for a moment and answer the questions. How’s life lately? You know, sometimes we avoid answering because we hate confrontation but it is necessary to come face to face with these things so that we can find a way forward.

I’ve realised that many of us have never been truly validated in how we feel, and because of that, we tend to shy away from expressing our emotions. Maybe no one ever said to you, “I’m proud of you,” or “You’ve done well.” Perhaps you’ve never heard the words “I love you” spoken genuinely, with no strings attached. As a result, your natural response to such words might be,

I’m sure you don’t really mean that.”

We’ve carried this mentality for the 20-plus years we’ve lived—or however old you are—and because it’s been with us for so long, we start to believe it’s right. But the length of time spent believing something wrong doesn’t make it right. Being abused for 5 years doesn’t make abuse a good thing. In the same way, you can’t hold on to a mindset of negativity forever because guess what? It can be changed. Mindsets can shift, but only if you’re willing to let them.

Anyway, it’s Reflection Friday, and I’ve got an exercise I want us to do together. But before we dive into that, I need a quick favor. Help me out by sharing my counseling links with your friends! Tell them, “Hey, no need to commit suicide, put the rat poison away. It’s called rat poison because it’s for rats and you’re not one. I know a Christian counsellor.” Seriously though, let them know they can find hope and healing.

Here’s the link below—share it like you’re spreading gossip (the good kind)! Oh, and kindly remind them to read the service info carefully before booking. Let’s save lives , one session at a time!

Here’s today’s exercise. Remember, this is entirely for YOU. Choosing not to do it is also your decision. But sometimes, you are the best person to speak to yourself. Take some time and complete this exercise with your whole heart.

“May the Lord smile on you and be gracious to you.”
