The Power of Words

Thanks to my friend Steve for forwarding to me the link to this video on YouTube.

This 14 y.o. girls paints heaven!  She is an amazing young person, who has chosen to follow her inspiration and in so doing is blessing the world.  She has become an inspiration to me; a reminder that we receive “gifts” unlike any other, that they be used to benefit and grace the lives of others.  Never too old nor too young; you can and will learn from someone no matter their chronological age.  After all, for YHWH a day is as a thousand years.

May this inspire you to shed the fears and deterrents that hold you back from full expression and fullfilling the purpose for which you were created.

As for me, I have to smile, for you see this is two days in a row now that I’ve received “coincidental” messages that speak the same thing:  shed that which holds you back.  Read the blog I wrote abput “Burning Your Bridges.”

As always, as the Word tells us:  first the word is applied to s/he who speaks, and then to the hearer.  It’s as if I am being forewarned of the great things to come; that perhaps the trapping security of a “guaranteed pay cheque” shall be removed such that I shall have no other choice but to face it and “cross the Red Sea” to the other side and freedom.

God Bless all my readers; may you have eyes to see and ears to hear.

A friend on Facebook posted this video, and I just had to share it with anyone who drops by this way.  There is just so much out there in cyberspace; thank God for people sharing what they have found – encouragement for all of us.  When I first saw the title of the video, The Butterfly Effect, I immediately thought of how a butterfly is first a caterpillar crawling along on its belly on the face of the earth; then it becomes entombed in a cocoon for a period of time (sorry, my knowledge of how long doesn’t exist); and, ultimately after…how long? but what I am certain seemed like an eternity in darkness and stillness, the cocoon peels away and the butterly emerges immediaely taking flight; naturally as though all it’s life it knew that it was a butterfly, it was to fly – not crawl on its belly.

That, to me, were my thoughts.  And, there is indeed much food for thought in those thoughts.

If you are seeking; wondering about your life’s purpose, watch this video….and see what lay beneath your “cocoon” of not knowing, of darkness and wondering….the why of who you are; the purpose for which you are created…just to know that there is a purpose, is in itself a gift.
