TURN THE WORLD UPSIDE DOWN

I hope to usher in a bit of power for your walk with God. We carry “the” power, the Holy Spirit of the Living God, within our very being. So let’s hit the community running and make great strides in dispelling abundant darkness. This is easy. A friend battling cancer told me she is doing well; but her talk has changed a lot. She has a reputation of pessimicity. She said she has learned to say “I love you” a lot more.

Do you have any idea how much these words need to be heard? Have we a spirit of shyness that such a phrase has been relegated to women using it and then only to a guarded few? Negativity loves unlove.

We love because God first loved. He started it! We must communicate as if the clock is running down that we dearly love others. Others need to know they are loved by somebody. What if they would take it wrong? How can being accepted by another be insulting? How can being noticed and admired ruin a person’s day?

God did not give us a spirit of timidity. Yet, how we play the bashful game. Strangers could think we are odd and friends might assume we are aggressive. However, the world is committing degrees of suicide because God’s children won’t open their mouths and voice the most healing words to any heart.

Please don’t bark at a negative world. Do something about it. Shine His welcoming light on it. Speak up for more than Abortion Rights and Prayer in Public Places. Speak “to” people in your path and in some way convey to them you really love them! This is way too easy. And, such a pattern will turn the world upside down.
