Dear Reader,
There are days when I feel disgusted with myself. A few weeks ago, I experienced one of those days. I woke up much energized to get this newsletter setup and start drafting my welcome email sequence. While the day started well, there was an underlying need and desire to slip into old habits.
Truth be told, in the weeks leading up to that day, I had done a very bad job at building up my spirit man. It was as if I had no desire to be with the Lord and I did nothing to push myself into that circle of intimacy with Him. Days turned into weeks, and weeks turned into taking major steps back. "Had I known", is said to always be at last — but I’m thankful that with God, His mercies give me a fresh start after every "had I known".
I wanted to write to you today and encourage you to make it a habit to seek God daily no matter what is happening around you. You can have your moments where you’re sorta mad at Him but can’t really cut Him off, 'cause let’s be honest — He’s all you've got. And so, after you rant and sulk for an hour or two, still read that chapter of the Bible; still turn on that worship song and find hope and peace in His Presence.
A day is coming where you will wake up with the deep urge to do what you know is wrong, and it will take your having built self-control through consistently seeking God in your unwilling seasons to stand up and say not today, Satan.
All I'm saying, Reader, is that you feed your spirit — because the world is working overtime to feed your flesh.
If you’re like me and you recently found yourself taking that step back, peace be still. The love of God is redemptive in nature, and He is seeking to meet you at the point where you allow Him.
Until we chat again, friend, be light!
