This isn’t for the takers… or the ones who give only to receive in equal measure. This isn’t for those who want to lavish in luxury without the labor that makes it possible. This isn’t for the manipulators, who twist fertile minds against their own well-being for personal gain, securing profit for generations at the expense of generations becoming. This isn’t for those whose words crumble under the weight of their absence when their presence is called for in real time. This isn’t for the ones stuck in seasons long gone, blind to the new ones unfolding right in front of them. This isn’t for those bound so tightly by bitterness that they can’t bear witness to their own happiness.

The Way is for the mature… in heart, mind, spirit, soul, and vessel.


LOVE

“Love your neighbor as yourself” is a prolific command the Bible gives us. But it carries an often-overlooked truth: If you can’t love yourself well… don’t come love me! Loving yourself isn’t a suggestion… it’s a command repeated and reinforced throughout Scripture, that several prophets gave a masterclass on.
