Pause

I give everything and everyone to you. ———sigh———— Help me to release. I ask for more of You, God. Restore our union; renew it, I pray for oneness. Fill me with your life. I LOVE you, I BELIEVE you, I WORSHIP you. Fill me with so much more of You. I need so much more of you.

When confronted with a hard, offensive or hurtful situation: Release first ➡️ let grace flow in ➡️ interpret later

SPIRIT SIGHS: breath in the Spirit of God, let go of the mess, of everything.
