#GoodFriday was anything but good the day it took place. My love, our precious Jesus suffered one of the most barbaric deaths all because He helped people, healed people, restored and renewed people. All because He demonstrated LOVE that people weren’t used to seeing. He received a punishment for His goodness, that was rooted in betrayal, lies and being hated by others for His pure love; all because of jealously, distrust & unbelief.
This day was ultimately good because DESPITE all of the evil trying to tear down good, it couldn’t. Jesus took all of what we were/are upon Him and paid for it all. So we can get out of messes, be forgiven, have hope and ultimately be victorious through HIM and His glorious triumphant power.

Have you ever been in a setting where you just couldn’t take anymore, it’s just too much? Jesus sure felt that way on this horrific day many years ago. So much so that he sweat blood the night before. The good news is that we don’t have to go to our own crosses for things we actually did commit, (unlike Him) we can have forgiveness, we can cast it all on Him. We can say please help God, please take this from me and He does! What a great Father. ❤️

Remember during the battle, there’s a time that will soon come you will be victorious and walk out of that tomb too. “When all we see is the battle, You see the victory, thank you God” turn “I can’t” Into “I can” this week & into the rest of your life. …

Watched a 🔥 talk a few weeks ago about “ nonviolent communication” coming from a very violent past I am super aware of how I communicate and how I am communicated with. This was a big message from the talk and was so enlightening. Communication is vital to our wellbeing and success- in all areas. The speaker also mentioned that people are always saying 2 things throughout life: “please” and “thank you”. We all have needs. We all want our needs to be met. One can ask and the other can say “yes” but may say “no”. To love someone despite them saying “no” is a freedom you give other humans to have their individual needs met.
For example if someone wanted a friend to come over because they were needing company but the person they were asking had to work. They said “no.” The lonely person could get hurt or mad and feel sorry for themselves etc OR they could say “ I understand you’re busy tonight is it possible that I could help you with work or you could come over after work or just for a little while, maybe even during a break etc”
By definition, an inquisitive person is inclined to investigate, eager for knowledge, unduly curious and inquiring. Rather than assuming the worst when there may be more to investigate and understand.
The take home was that, there is ALWAYS a solution to meet everyone’s needs when we hear what the other is needing too.
If you’d like to watch the full talk- YouTube search “nonviolent communication” and a man with a red shirt will come up. …
