Your Inner Glow: Beyond Smiles and Mistakes

Do you feel like you’ve made too many mistakes, disappointed with the place you keep finding yourself? We’ve all been there, questioning so many decisions. Let me say this, look deep within and you will surely see — there’s a luminous light. Your own proverbial inner glow, what nothing could ever eclipse. It doesn’t matter what anyone else perceives; just that of your worth you do wholeheartedly believe. You don’t have to be always smiling, or feel you need to get it right every time, to be the best version of yourself. Even if some days your light seems a bit dim, love will always be the evidence — your heart inherently has such a beautiful reflection. Rest with that for a moment. Don’t wrestle with what others see, delight in what their eyes could never fathom; the crimson beauty that makes your heart — uniquely You.

Love’s Unseen Evidence, Doesn’t Need Proof

A faithful soul doesn’t have anything to prove; it simply shows up and shows out. Breadth of its love, its heartfelt demonstration. Genuine love never needs to solicit trust; its word is its inalienable bond. Love isn’t bulletproof; its purest essence bleeds crimson, seeps deeply, so sublime. Real love exhibits the heart of a warrior; faith is its shield, deep love bears its armor. It doesn’t matter how hard love has to fight; it wields its determination with all its might. Battle scars don’t define; evidence love stands the test of time. It’s a deep river, drowning breathless in the depth of its innermost. A heart burns with desire, but doesn’t insulate fireproof; love does fan the flames. Search your heart again and again; if its motives have to be proofread — over and over for clarity — it isn’t love by definition. Deep down love is inspirational, tends to be overwhelmingly emotional, but at its core, meant to be profoundly devotional. True love never needs proof; it reveals unconditionally the heart’s authenticity.

Pursuit of Fullness: Its Wholeness and Meaning

In the pursuit of fullness, where your heart encounters the best of life’s happiness. Moments that deeply fill, those moments that profoundly thrill. Every day, pursuing moments that allow love to meaningfully spill. Opportunities that define, fullness purposefully seeking to daily refine, that allow your inner light the opportunity to incandescently shine — wholeheartedly transform. Takes only willingness to participate, love’s sublime breadth to elevate. Fullness is wholeness of being, complete by its excellence of meaning. Love filled by its capacity, its richness served by the depth of its veracity. It doesn’t adhere to a meaningless complexity; it moves beyond a peripheral state of textuality, strives unapologetically contextual. Fullness doesn’t beg to be deep, but begs to differ, being more than meaninglessly shallow. Fullness is an endless pursuit, a heartfelt desire that doesn’t breathlessly chase… after what leads, to a fruitless betrayal of its purpose.

Ignite Love’s Incandescent Light 

With every breath you take, can you feel it within your heart? God delights in you? Right here, right now. In this very moment, He’s closer than your very breath. His love expands your horizon, puts wind beneath your wings. Whatever weight your heart may be carrying, He’s holding you within His care. He loves you dearly; let His arms be your safe place — let His peace be your deepest exhale. Remember this when your light seems a little dim: He still delights in you. Your love doesn’t have to shine the brightest — to produce a radiant light. Ignite love incandescent; someone else, might need to see what it would look like, when theirs too shines luminous.

O. C. D: My Heart’s Obsession

If I were to admit, I’m not satisfied letting my heart become complacent, thinking there’s never any need to reevaluate the status quo. Repositioning my heart’s posture never allows my mind to think it has the final say. Living your best life will always require your heart to be at the centre of every decision. Would you think that sounds a bit dramatic, or that kind of thinking is a bit over the top? My heart will never be perfect; perfection isn’t a standard to bear, it just leaves your soul bare, revealing imperfections don’t ever make your worth less than. I will say this, I’m down with O.C.D. The obsessive-compulsive disorder, the sticky side of this proverbial label, just a glue used to keep the heart and mind on the same page. No one should ever think they can slap a label on my heart, and believe they have the intricacies of my heart figured out. Living obsessively to see your heart in the right frame of reference, its constant realignment to be a heart indicative of its meaningful compulsion; love’s perspective being the heartfelt purpose. Call it what you will, having an uncontrollable desire to adjust what doesn’t seem right within your heart, only seems a meaningless disorder — through the lens of a blurred perception. When love compels, the rhythm of how your heart beats may seem obsessive; but not if it makes you looking inward, making you day after day wanting to constantly improve, the position of your heart’s posture!
