Refreshing The Soul

A Safe Space Form
How are you creating a safe space in your relationships, in your home, your job, or the ministry God has called you to?
 
Last week we covered some reasons why it's hard to be honest about your feelings, your desires, the need for help, etc...and ways we can begin to move out of that place.
 
This week we are discussing ways to create a safe space for others to be honest.
 
One mindset shift we need to establish is that someone's vulnerability and honesty is a gift, not a green light to impose your frustration or opinion of where someone is at or should be on their journey. How do you treat gifts that are given to you?🎁 Let's talk about it!

A safe space is required to recover and heal.❤️‍🩹
 
You must feel safe to share, ask, cry, get it wrong at times, and just be where you are without the guilt, shame or judgment for being there.
 
When our safety is threatened, we are distracted from the rest and healing that God so wants us to experience.
 
I believe God has called me to create a safe space for you to heal, because I so longed for it myself.
 
I understand the importance and beauty of vulnerability that we can have with others.❤️
 
When we are open in safe community;
❤️‍🩹The lie of feeling alone is shattered
❤️‍🩹We can receive the love of God through others
❤️‍🩹Heaviness is lifted through confession and intercession

Are you in the middle of transitioning?
You may be moving locations, switching schools, changing jobs, or you're shifting from an old mindset to a Godly one.
Whatever transition you may be experiencing, it is sure to come with the ebbs and flows of feelings and thoughts that can lead to heaviness in the soul.
We can transition well and lightly!
heck out this week's episode as I share the 3 things that has helped me transition well🤍🖤

I recently asked God to show me my heart in a particular area. What He revealed I did not like.
To be completely honest, I felt a small sense of shame. 😞
I confessed and repented to God...and you know what His response was?
The engulfing of His Loving arms! I felt an extreme wave of love consume me in a place where I felt unworthy.😭
He uncovered something in me so He could heal me with His love.❤️
We will only know the depths of God's love to the extent we are willing to be uncovered. Let's get to heart of the soul and let Him love us deeper in the places we are ashamed of and want to keep hidden.

How do we begin to free the little girl in us?
 
Somewhere along the way, you were convinced that who you were brought embarrassment, punishment, and rejection.
And so, you rejected who you were and began to hide.
 
When I took the hand of God to pull me out of hiding, He clearly instructed me, "You must embrace and accept her again."
 
When we choose to love the little girl in us, we are choosing what God has already chosen.
 
Let's go deeper and hear more on how we free the little girl in us.

As a little girl you may have experienced being shamed for doing something wrong, punished for voicing your feelings, or feeling unseen unless you performed well.
 
While you aged, the little girl who learned how to hide herself didn't.
 
She convinces you that you have to be perfect in order to be loved, to be quiet in order to stay safe, and to perform in order to be validated.
It's time to free the little girl in you...in me...so that we can live freely and authentically.
 
God did something special in this episode I had to make it 2 parts!
