You are not a disappointment. You do not disappoint God. God cannot be disappointed. And He especially would not be disappointed in you. Look it up in the dictionary: Disappointment is a feeling of dissatisfaction. Or the response to failure. Or the feeling after expectations have not been met. I want you to see this…
I have had several aha! moments over the past few weeks. There has also been a definite change in the winds that pass over my spirit. There have been times of intense meditation, and also lazy drifting in my mind. I have slacked in some areas that are normally very rigid, and experienced an increased…
