Help me find me


Being Stewards of each other is an imperative of the Gospel. Many of us are drowning in the ignorance of our true nature. Many of us have been blinded by ill considered word and the worst of all, no word at all. We have not been encouraged to see the unique giftedness that lies in us. We have images like movies that replay scenes of our lives that affirm or disproof beliefs we have of ourselves. How true were those words spoken to us those years back, was the person really considerate when they said it, were they saying it out of spite or were they trying to manipulate us. We are often found drowning from the lack of words that are truly spoken to encourage and uplift us. The true word spoken to identify the parts of us that bring life to this world. To name them and claim them is the most powerful thing you can do for yourself and the world. Trevor Hudson quotes in his book ‘Invitations to Abundant life’ from a Gordon Cosby, We are to call forth the gifts of other people, to set them free, to throw the lifeline to them and be the one who, under God, helps a person discover that for which he or she was created.”
