LESSONS FROM A PRAYER FROM THE BELLY OF THE FISH

Here was Jonah in the belly of a fish (I can’t even fully picture this), yet he was alive. ‘Cos it was recorded that he prayed and in his prayers, he cried and God heard him.

What kind of life are you called to? Ask yourself What kind of life are you called to? Ask yourself, do I want to live a mediocre, mundane, and average Christian life? Or has God called me to live a life of mountain-moving, ground-taking, water-walking faith? Today, God calls us out of our boat. Out of our comfort zone and into a space where the only option is to trust God with our next steps. Today God wants to invite you on a wild and exciting journey that will change your life forever. A call out to the WATER-WALKERS. Those who will choose to live a life of total dependence on Abba. Will you join the Water-Walkers today?
SIT!!! (Swipe left) Hey you, yes you!!! Sit in y SIT!!! (Swipe left) Hey you, yes you!!! Sit in your thoughts, Yes, sit on your knees, face in palms, Your thoughts almost literally running through your face, No, it’s not the good thoughts, It’s the fear, the doubts, the maybes, and the if-evers, You’ve been sitting here for a while now, Your legs begin to ache, It feels like a call to rise up and let go, But then the fear rises again, the what-ifs questioning you, And so you remain seated, Will it ever be? You ask yourself, A freedom and a letting go? A rising and a dancing? Will you ever bud? Will a smile ever grace your worry-filled face again? #EsthitudeWrites #Poem #Sit #Esthitude
Fully Seen. Fully Known. Fully Loved. “She gave Fully Seen. Fully Known. Fully Loved. “She gave this name to the Lord who spoke to her: “You are the God who sees me,” for she said, “I have now seen the One who sees me.”” ‭‭Genesis‬ ‭16:13‬ ‭NIV‬‬ How assuring and beautiful is it to know that God sees us. Yes, even with the billions of humans on earth, He sees us and knows us, so much that not even and hair drops from our head without His notice. It is mind blowing to know this, it is also humbling. Like the Psalmist asked, what is man that thou art mindful of him? It is not like we are deserving of God’s mercy and Grace, but He has chosen to show us His mercy, daily leading and guiding us. Today, take some minutes to bask in the awareness that God sees you and knows you, and no matter the situation you may find yourself, He is working it out for your good. Monday Affirmations: - I am fully known, seen, and loved by God - All things are working together for my good - God has seen and heard, the answers to my prayers are here. Happy Monday, fam🥳 Have a blessed one. Love and Light Always, Esthitude
Of Passion and Compassion ❤️ In church on Sun Of Passion and Compassion ❤️ In church on Sunday, we learned about Jesus’s compassion for us (humans) despite the many oppositions He faced from the antagonists. “And when He came near the gate of the city, behold, a dead man was being carried out, the only son of his mother; and she was a widow. And a large crowd from the city was with her. When the Lord saw her, He had compassion on her and said to her, “Do not weep.”” ‭‭Luke‬ ‭7:12-13‬ ‭NKJV‬‬ In many passages of the Bible, we are shown how Jesus exemplified compassion, especially on the Sabbath, and how it irked the Pharisees. Despite their opposition, He never stopped. Here are some of my takeaway from the sermon: 1. Like Jesus, I need to be compassionate. 2. Like Jesus, I need to be more sensitive to the needs of those around me. 3. Rules/Laws are great, but there is a need to always tender justice with mercy. It is lawful to do well/show mercy on the Sabbath. 4. Sabbath means rest, and this rest is found in Jesus, who is Lord of the Sabbath. 5. The purpose of the miracles that Jesus did was to win souls. 6. Unlike the Pharisee, I will not be an antagonist to the ones who are supposed to help me. May we be true followers of Jesus, living daily like Him and for Him🙏

The old gratitude journal (a gift from @folabomifashion) was a key part of what influenced my book- Love Letters to Abba. Interestingly, the new gratitude journal was also a gift😀 Intentional gratitude journaling has influenced my life positively in more ways than one. Do you have a gratitude journal? If no, I recommend you get one… you can read my book on how to actively practice gratitude journaling. Can you guess when I started using my old gratitude journal?

Review o’clock 💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻 Reposte Review o’clock 💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻 Reposted from• @chiomavanessa_ Guess who just finished reading #LoveLettersToAbba 🧚‍♀️ Oh well I decided to use the book during my queit time every morning, a chapter a day, and it blessed my soul. First words of the book that caught my attention was 'God is never shy to tell us how much he loves and cares for us' even God practices words of affirmation as a love language, this is why we most time hear Him speak, either through whispers, dreams, His word etc and they are so reassuring and soothing. This hit differently, I almost shed a tear.... God loves us sooooo much and he expresses it all... I mean aaaaalllll the time😭. I kept asking myself, have I loved God in return with the same measure of love he has bestowed on me? I am ashamed to give an honest reply. He has loved me with an everlasting love😪. I will not be ungrateful Lord I am matching this same energy Abba gives going forward..... On some days we may only be able to express our love for Abba through our tears😭 He actually didn't promise a smooth journey, but promised to be there through our different seasons of life🙌 #loveletterstoAbba is really an eye opener to God's unfailing love and how we can love Him in return.... hope you'll permit me to be dropping some quick lines and note liruuu by liruuuu as the day goes by. I stumbled on a piece in my note pad recently and I was like okuuuur so it's not today I started writing love letters to God sha, maybe this book by @esthitude_ just gave me the right word... I should be more intentional about speaking God's love language to Him.... Happy new month fam....this is June, we would jubilate all through .... #bookreview #bookstagram #booklover #LovingGod #bookreviewersofinstagram #bookclub #booksuggestions #authorscommunity #authorlife #TheEsthitudePlace
I hope, today and always, that you have the courag I hope, today and always, that you have the courage to go after that which makes your heart beat.

I hope you smile, I hope you dance, and I hope you remember that you are truly and deeply loved by Abba. Bloom, dear butterfly. Bloom and Become.
