Yesterday I remembered part of my growth
as I processed the extent of my journey
--
with more to go.
After divorcing my ex,
I began to hear things I had previously ignored.
One of the things I heard my mom say was,
“ San, this is not you. “
These were times I was answering in a tone feeling an ache from within,
so it frequented a pounding, a pang, an undeniable pain --,
yet ignoring as it packed a punch from an unhealed prick or puncture.
I heard someone I wasn't.
I did a sound check on myself
.
Sound proved I needed healing within.
Sound’s truth pointed to areas His balm
needed to skim.
Applying it is helping me recuperate through my entire revolution of self.
Ask yourself:
As an instrument, how does my vocal equipment sound?
Ponder this:
--
🗝” out of His goodness,”
--
Now ask yourself:
Is my voice resonating with blamelessness?
🗝James 3:2
Learn this:
🗝Pureness is always a hallowing of Him and is beneficial to All.
Reflect upon these thoughts:
I seek not only to be pure in my physche leading to my personality but also to be sound in my precept, defining steps of my path.
All pieces are part of my demeanor, every aspect compiled for my daily conduct.
If my inwards aren't aligned,
my outward appearance won't have a
paired alliance or pact against the atmosphere,
which reads my aura.
🗝Psalm 15:1-3
Consider this:
If God inhaled and exhaled to bring man to life,
what from His nostrils would bring death
if He used the sensed sound,
creating a scent from us?
--
If God took a whiff of you,
what would He discern?
Speculate this:
How does the wind judge you
as you walk through its current?
How does the sky presume you
as the wind whispers of your way
through its waft?
Is your aroma like perfume or Pepe Le Pew?
Your body as an incense is it a fragrance
without additives or supplements
of a pleasing aroma,
or is it God-forsaking awful?
Is your sound sweet, or is it sour,
which spoils a speech, even silence?
Have you ever wondered:
Is it heard through conversation or any 5-second rule exchange
from my presentation?
Recognize:
🗝With characteristics from His divine excellence,
I am wrapped!!
Proclaim this:
🗝His trait is embedded powerfully in me.
I cannot escape the truth of who I am in Him.
It's a state I'm intently and purposefully operating from
-- it's honestly second nature--
even when I want to go another way.
Get rid of secret squalls or screeching shouts
--
Clanging cymbals are not a blessing to God.
🗝1 Cor 13:1-3
Nothing is new under
neither is anything hidden
from the Son.
🗝Ecclesiastes 1
Now ask yourself again:
How do I sound?
