healing

Truth!

/ Kelly Savage / Leave a comment

I found wholeness through the love of God when His unconditional love got a hold of me.  That’s it in a nutshell.  That is what I needed in my life.  A taste, the feel, the absolute knowing of what unconditional love was all about.  When I knew, that I knew, that no matter what I did before and who I was and the faltered person I still can be, that God loves me, there is a change that one will have in their heart that will be  so touching that it is unexplainable.  But – oh – so beautiful!

It’s your too – it’s everyone’s – and if you don’t feel it – ask God to meet you where you are at. I didn’t “feel” it right away either.  It was something I sought after.  Sometimes I think I ran away from it since it might have seemed foreign.  But – it is real – very real.

When it does get a hold of you – it will change you – and heal you.

God is a good God.  Unconditional love heals.

We need more of that unconditional love in the world and there would be more healing.  Period.  Truth.  What a wonderful thing that would be.  When I receive that – and I do – from my fiance’ – it is a feeling like no other.  This world would be changed.

Receive love – Give Love – True Love Heals.

Starts With Us. 🙂

Praying for a Beautiful Monday for Everyone!

Wait? Are you worthy?

I know we do not go up to people we know or don’t know and ask the question……”are you worthy of my presence”, or me talking to you or my time, attention, etc?  But do we give off that attitude?  Ever?  Listen, I believe the key to self growth is evaluation of ourselves – the old looking in the mirror and that – my friend – is not always the easiest, fun or top priority on our list.  But, do we want to be approachable ?  Loving?  Kind?  A person that is thought of that has love, patience, and acceptance?  Or  a heart that has hate, judgment, an unforgiving heart or just a know it all attitude.  Our job really is just to love.  We truly do not know what other people are going through in their life, at the moment we meet them – even if we know them – what they are going through if they are keeping it inside.  True love breaks down barriers and lets healing begin.  It covers, protects and makes people feel safe and worthy.  And we all know those are wonderful feelings.  We have the power to make that happen for others – and yes, the real power is when they don’t really deserve because they are going through something and are acting out and our tenderness speaks to them.  Think about it.  Hope you are having a wonderful Monday!

Until next time – remember – Enjoy Life — Have Hope/Keep Faith/Spread Love

“Death” of a Loss One –

/ Kelly Savage / 2 Comments

I am embarking on a new journey starting on Monday – a new journey without “my buddy”. I didn’t lose her by a physical death. She is still here in this world. My new journey starts with a lesson that I have leanred that death isn’t always about a physical death. You can lose someone in your life that is truly significant, that has made one of the greatest impacts on your life and feel one of the deepest pains in your life and it feels like a death. That would be the case of “my buddy”, my co-worker. In a very unfortunate turn of events and deeply painful, she will no longer be working side by side with me.  The one that I went to work with for 25 years. I met her when I was merely 19, when we think we know everything and now I sit at the age of 44 and I am saying to myself, “holy crap, I am just now learning some things now!”   Her and I side by side – 25 years. We laughed – we cried – only raised our voice probably handful of times – but we did it all together. We took a stressful job and we made it fun – we made everything a game – we made fun of it and each other – but we did it together and together we were each other’s confidants. How do you replace that? You don’t.

 

Lord, take the pain away, I have been crying. The deed was done on Tuesday. I went away on vacation on Wednesday. Let me tell ya……..drinks don’t take it away, taking picture on vacation and smiling doesn’t take it away, seeing beautiful sites and laying by the pool and even relaxing, as nice as that sounds and it was, doesn’t take it away. My lesson continues. Pain is pain. Loss is loss. We will experience some things in our life that are devastating. This is one of mine. I know it is one of hers.

Hows? Whats? Whens? Whos? Questions fly in my head, heart, everywhere……………….Time, prayer, giving Him the pain, – it is one of the holes that only He can fill – not one person, not one thing, only Him…….

I am once again reminded that The God of Comfort and Peace needs to be my all in all……

1 Corinthians 1:4-5 “God of all healing counsel! He comes alongside us when we go through hard times, and before you know it, he brings us alongside someone else who is going through hard times so that we can be there for that person just as God was there for us. We have plenty of hard times that come from following the Messiah, but no more so than the good times of his healing comfort—we get a full measure of that, too”

1 Peter 5:7 “Casting the whole of your care [all your anxieties, all your worries, all your concerns, once and for all] on Him, for He cares for you affectionately and cares about you watchfully. ”

Psalms 30:5 “Weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning”

Psalm 56:8 “You number and record my wanderings; put my tears into Your bottle”

 

so as I wrapped up my time with God , knowing this is another one of those times where I need Him to get through it, I thanked Him for being there and guiding me through, giving me strength, grace and His love.  Then I said “ok God, I got this” ………then He gently whispered and said” no, WE got this”………I love God!!!!!

Isaiah 61:1 TASTE FREEDOM

/ Kelly Savage / Leave a comment

Isaiah 61:1
The Spirit of the Sovereign Lord is on me,
because the Lord has anointed me
to proclaim good news to the poor.
He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted,
to proclaim freedom for the captives
and release from darkness for the prisoners, (Isaiah 61:1 NIV)

Taste and see His healing for the Lord IS Good!

I just visited my father’s gravesite for the first time. He passed away a year and a half ago already. I understand he isn’t at his graveside. But it was nice to go and find some time with the Lord to pray about what was on my heart near Father’s Day with the Lord’s nature all around and the whisper of His heart in my spirit. Wow. what peace. I cried but not tears for myself………….oh, I have had them, tears of hurt, sadness, grief, questions and just plain missing him……at times still do………That’s all natural too. This time, though, were tears of cleansing. You see, I have now tasted the freedom of God over the last 10 years of many things in my life that were painful for me, at times immobilizing, but now I understand God doesn’t want that for us. Life is hard and life throws you around at times but the Lord, wants us to live victoriously in His strength and through His eyes. And trust me, His eyes look so differently at people and circumstances than our eyes. The Bible says his thoughts are not our thoughts and His ways are not our ways. So true. But the good news is, Jesus was sent to bind up the brokenhearted and for all to be healed through His blood. He was sent to proclaim freedom for the captives and release everyone out of their own prisons. Anyone dealing with a prison right now? Of hate? bitterness? unforgiveness? addiction? or grief you can’t work through? how about depression or anger? Those are just some prisons that God doesn’t want his beautiful people to be ruled by. I sat at my dad’s gravesite to thank the Lord for all the years I did have with my father. Not the ones I didn’t. I sat and prayed for the rest of my family to see the Lord’s goodness in their lives. I thanked Him for what I learned through my father and hopefully will continue to pass on to my children and grandchildren. I thanked Him for life and healing and the blessing of my father and I didn’t cry grief or why or out of anger towards God. I have questions but God even deals with my questions which such tenderness, gentleness and clarification. That is healing. And He offers it to EVERYONE through Jesus. My prayer and desire……is that MANY will taste and see the goodness of God’s healing. That they will reach out and accept that Jesus died for them but not only to go to heaven but to live victoriously here on earth until we are called home to heaven or until the return of our Savior. Know that healing is there and waiting for you. Know that no emotional prison needs to continue in your life. Know that through Jesus, the one that was sent to bind the brokenhearted, you too can taste freedom that you might have never thought possible.

Blessings to all!
