THE NAILS HAVE BEEN REMOVED!
Today is a day of new innocence, virgin-like kind of day.
Memories of wounds are becoming grasping tools

Forgiveness is the balm that will forge healing in your heart.
THE NAILS HAVE BEEN REMOVED!
Begin to look on your bad memories as somebody else.
Why? Because that was somebody else

You are no longer that victim.
You are no longer creating new victims.

You can keep showing people your wounds as an excuse for your for your behavior.
You can keep showing people your wounds as a reason to point fingers.
You can keep showing people your wounds as a means of self pity.

NEW INNOCENCE - The NAIL-LESS WOUND
***************
I looked into a deep, black hole and I heard a small voice that said:
"Please help me. I don't want to do what I'm doing. I'm out of control."
Many young people reacting out of fear and pain, try and protect their hearts by lashing out. The pain has been mostly caused by adults in their lives, people they should have been able to trust. Now that the trust has been broken, their inability to trust causes them to put up walls. They also cause pain as an instinctive battle plan against receiving pain. To rebuild trust we must be able to give love while receiving mistrust.
"And Jesus prayed, Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do."
Luke 23:34
It seems like He made things worse before they got better. Don't give up when things look like they are getting worse. You just might need a little extra dirt on top of the seed that's growing inside you.
Trust in the Lord with all your heart and don't focus on your understanding of darkness.
God can't pour His gallon into your quart.
Blessings are being wasted as they spill onto the ground.
Get rid of your old quart and grab a gallon of God's best.

***************
Only
Jesus can apply the healing mud. Some people make themselves dirty
because of past experiences. They feel like dirt. When they put
themselves under enough layers of dirt, they do create darkness (more
dirt) and this is self pity. Only
through the power of Jesus can their mud be lifted. As we turn to him,
sin (or dirt) becomes a healing mud and then is washed away. All of our
words must contain Him. We cannot force anybody to accept this process.
The best way is to model that which we believe. Just believe.

"Daddy, I had a dream."
Said the Heart Farmers daughter.
"I saw a heart in a snow bank
and then it began to cross the pond frozen with ice.
It made me feel so sad to watch the cold, cold heart.
How can hearts grow in the cold Daddy?
Did you plant the hearts there?"
The Heart Framer smiled as he put his arm around his daughter. "No my little Sweet Pea, I don't plant hearts in the cold. All hearts begin as a thought of God and are planted in the womb of waters. As the waters break, they are drawn out into the world and rest upon a mountain top. They begin life in this world as a Heart Seed. From there, my Darling Petunia, they are carried by the Winds of the Four Corners throughout all of the world."
"What happens then Daddy? Where do the Heart Seeds grow?" "That my Beauty is an excellent question!" Said the Heart Farmer. "The Heart Seeds grow wherever they are sown. Heart Seeds have a special ability that allows them to grow in adversity. They can also harness the Winds of Opportunity and move to a better garden. Sadly, not all Heart Seeds use their special ability to grow and move.
Some Heart Seeds land on the Highway of Broken Hearts. This is a very dangerous place as they will be repeatedly run over by Broken Hearts who have chosen not to heal and grow through their brokenness. Unless they pay the toll on that road and move on, they will remain a Broken Heart. This paves the way for them to break other Hearts. The asphalt of the Highway is made from grains of grievance. Broken Hearts use the Grain of Grievance to cause grievances for other hearts. We have a choice, we can cause grief or move on to greater things. Through brokenness we are given a greater opportunity to love.
Some Heart Seeds land on piles of rocks. That Heart Seed will begin to be feel hard and stony. The Heart becomes hardened and the ability to give and receive joy is hidden in a boulder of coldness. Some Hearts stay here and throw stones of mistrust at other hearts. They hope to damage these Hearts and cause them to become hardened and immovable. When the Winds pass over them, they have the choice to allow the stone to be rolled away from their Heart.
Some Heart Seeds land in Thorn Deserts. The thorns are sharp and pierce the flesh of the Heart Seed. This Desert is filled with painful memories that are reproduced instead of discarded. The Heart Seed who stays here will begin to pierce and wound other Hearts. Unless the Heart Seed let's go of wound memories, they will become creators of Thorny Crowns that cause fresh piercings in other Hearts. The desert is the only way out. Each grain of desert sand is a stepping stone to an Oasis of Love.
All Heart Seeds are impregnated with the ability to become the soil of fertility. All Hearts desire to grow and fulfill the purpose that they were designed for. Barrenness, brokenness, hardness and woundedness are merely gardens where all hearts can reproduce fruits of love. Only when Heart Seeds embrace all things as opportunities that bring them closer to God, will they become Heart Farmers made in His image and likeness."
The Heart Farmer finished his story and looked deep into his daughter's eyes and said: I'm glad you're my daughter Beauty. I love you to the stars and back!"
His daughter smiled with her heart and said:
"Daddy, I love you to the Son and back!"

Dear God,
Thank you for Your patience with me.
I have been satisfied walking around like a quart container for too long.
You have been waiting to pour a gallon of Your love into me.
I have been complacent and satisfied in a prideful way. I have rested on the laurels of past blessings that You have bestowed on me.
Forgive me God, I repent from my actions that have led to stagnancy.
I know that You are a God of second chances. Help me to focus on the opportunities of the future that begin this very second and stretch into eternity.
You have blessed thousands of young people through Youth With A Purpose Inc. and now You want us to focus on millions. Your desire is to have us tell young people and their families how much You love them and that You have a plan for their lives.
Teach us to follow Your ways as You enlarge Your kingdom through our actions. May the gathering of like hearted souls begin and spread like a revival wave that will pass over the 4 corners of the earth.
Teach us a new way that leads us to experience exceedingly
abundant ways of walking, and leaping, and praising You.
In Jesus Name. Amen

If you are suffering, ask people to pray for you.
It is in your asking that you cause others to turn to God.
It is possible that God loves you so much
that He sent you to be one of His lampposts

Your suffering may be one of the greater things that Jesus spoke about.
"Believe me: I am in my Father and my Father is in me. If you can't believe that, believe what you see—these works. The person who trusts me will not only do what I'm doing but even greater things, because I, on my way to the Father, am giving you the same work to do that I've been doing. You can count on it. From now on, whatever you request along the lines of who I am and what I am doing, I'll do it. That's how the Father will be seen for who he is in the Son. I mean it. Whatever you request in this way, I'll do." John 14:11-14

I'm in Tampa and I'm feeling waves. I'm not in the ocean, I'm walking
the streets. I'm visiting a church called The River. We visit
neighborhoods and talk to everyone we meet. We have a simply beautiful
conversation about love - God's love. We smile a lot. We pray a lot.
Yesterday I prayed with a guy for his 3 yr old son in Wisconsin, he
misses him and he wants to be a Dad in a broken family. I prayed
for a little girl still in the womb. I prayed for a baby in her
mother's arms and I didn't speak their language. I prayed over the phone
with a guy who called his friend while we were standing on a street
corner. Some were drunk on alcohol others became drunk in the Spirit.
Waves of mercy and waves of grace.

Heat waves today in Tampa. The fire of the Holy Spirit consumed mass
quantities of chaff and ignited intense fires of salvation. We prayed
for people in the streets. One lady had been on drugs for many years.
She relapsed after 11 years of being clean. Her husband was on heroin.
They lost permanent custody of their 4yr old. She had twins and one was
stillborn and the other has heart problems and they
gave her up for adoption. They could not afford to take care of a baby
with severe medical problems. They now have a 6 month old and they are
clean from drugs. Both husband and wife heard about how much they are
loved and they had people pray for them. There is power in the fire of
the Holy Ghost. It is contagious, do you want it?

He has put His seal on your heart.
Your life was meant to be mailed as a testimony to lead others to Him.
He will deliver you.
You're beautiful.
Has it been returned unopened and marked
"Return to Sender?"
It's time to struggle out of your envelope.
You might feel like life has got you licked and sealed shut from God's love.
You need to know that God has stamped you with His esteem.
He has put His seal on your heart.
Your life was meant to be mailed as a testimony to lead others to Him.
He will deliver you.
You're beautiful.

Cause my heart to become naked O God.
Let there be no barriers between
My trust in You and my love for You.
Let there be no barriers between
My trust in You and my love for You.

Trust is the remedy. Trust God. He will never leave you or forsake you. Trust yourself.

Create in me an unquenchable soul.
Create in me an immeasurable heart.
Pour every ounce of You into me.
Create in me a reservoir for You.
Enlarge Your love in me.
Allow me to pour Your love unfathomably.
Cause me to never be empty of You.
Create in me an immeasurable heart.

Faith is stronger than feelings.
Feelings are the strength created by faith.
JUST BELIEVE,
Then you will feel,
As what you believe,
Becomes real.

Are you a victim, a survivor or a conqueror?

Today.
To become the reflection of love you must put on love.
When someone spits on you and throws mud at you,
catch it with the eyes of your heart.
The mud becomes a healing balm.
This is where the healing begins.
