When we are secure in who we are and where our true identity resides, in Christ, hate, blame and complaining subside. We are then free to build-up, motivate, encourage, compliment and accept the beliefs of others that are contrary to our own without anger, resentment or protest. We are visual people. Of all the looking around we do, be one who looks for “diamonds,” not dirt. I am always a work in progress. You are loved.

Broken Places are Where The Light Shines Through
The truth is in one way or another, everyone is defined by their wounds, but not everyone is dictated by them. The importance is, do they refine you or undermine you? Pain can be poised for abundant goodness, by the avenue we choose to unpack, process and purpose it. No dirt road was ever singularly traveled. Don’t be shackled by your story. Define the fruit of its fire and set it free to sacredly chisel you, and sweetly comfort a friend. It is from that which we cannot control or wrestle in our sturdiness that we find the true Source of our strength. 2 Corinthians 1:4~ He comforts us in all our troubles so that we can comfort others. When they are troubled, we will be able to give them the same comfort God has given us. 2 Corinthians 12:9~ Each time he said, “My grace is all you need. My power works best in weakness.” Be encouraged friends. Broken places are where the light shines through.
