Not As the World Gives

The heartache you feel does not belong to your beloved enemies: those loved ones you have held responsible for your pain.

Your heart has been broken through grief of loss, and the Lord is the only solace that can heal. The world’s kudos—and what you believe you want, Child, are “kudos” as opposed to genuine comfort and healing—will not provide you what you need. Laurels thrown at your feet will not fill your empty heart.

Laurels may be given, but even as they fall remember, God is your heart, He is your strength, He is your hope; and if you place your trust in Him, you will not be disappointed.

Ah yes. Fantastic. Not for love of the laurels but for joy in Jesus. Amen!

I read all you have written here.
Amen.

So nice to see that someone else is agreeing on what the Lord has shown my hubby and I.

Bless you sister for saying it as is. Gods word. The holy spirit.
