Through [all of Scripture], God [tells us] that it is just as important to be righteous inwardly as it is outwardly. We cannot say we love God and others when we fail to help people who are within our power to help. Just as James 1:27 tells us, true religion includes helping orphans, widows, and those who are in distress. James goes on to write that faith without works is a dead faith (James 2:26). In short, faith is both believing in the Lord and doing the things He has told us to do.
Take some time to think about your own life: how much time do you prioritize on your own spirituality versus serving others?

تهنا بين اشتياق وانتظار
حنين ولهفة
بعد والم
حب
تظاهر بالإكتفاء ..
حتى
وإن كنت أكثرهم
أحتياجاً لكل شيء
ويلٌ لقلبٍ لايهدأ كلّما مرَّ طيفك
وويلٌ لِـطيفكَ الّذي لايغيب...
من أجمل أسرار الليل
إنك تجتمع حلماً
بمن عنه المسافات أبعدتك
فتكتمل به ويكتمل بك
رغماً عن واقعه وواقعك !
ف جسدي ها هنا
وروحي حيث تتنفسين

🐲 Let's Begin the Transition 🐉
Greetings & Again, HappyNewYear! Im starting off 2024 praying that we can all manifest & maintain a ThroatChakra as strong, active and healed as Katt Williams LOL, especially if you’ve been following along with my 2023 content ! This video is full of quick reminders and tips to start 2024 as we simultaneously come out of 2023’s Final Mercury Retrograde ! I start the video explaining why self care is not selfish AT ALL right now! It’s aligned with what God needs us to do to be our best! Self Care may come through a multitude of things for us this Winter Season like slowing our pace, better boundaries, stillness, deeper meditation and realigning with regimens, rituals and routines that refill our cups. A chunk of the video reviews time stamps where I received similar messages, yet I still give additional info about how this Mercury RX may challenge us to communicate & engage with more honesty, intention & mindfulness. Lastly, before giving a quick reading : I drop downloads putting the start of each “New Year” into perspective. The most important thing opening up 2024, is PEACE .
Here are some key messages from Spirit right now :
🕊️“Peace is trusting yourself, having/building faith and listening to your intuition.”
🕊️“Internal Guidance > External Guidance right now “
🕊️“What’s Meant for You Will Match Your Peace, not disturb it”
🕊️“It Will Work Out in God’s Timing”
🕊️"Remember all that I've brought you through..."
Definitely use January to GO WITHIN! Coming out of this RX you should feel more confident in your voice, truth & personal wisdom. No one can advise you better than yourself right now. Starting off the year may come with a little bit of disillusion & unmet expectations from 2023. There may be a bit of grief and confusion around things that didn’t go or aren’t going quite as expected, as well as uncertainty with how to move forward. Know our guides don’t want us to cry over spilled milk and ESPECIALLY over milk that has yet to spill! Reflect & Release as needed, but try not to sulk in that energy. Instead, tap into your spirituality and communal resources to get you through your struggles. Understand there’s a bigger picture at play and transitioning into a new space/new year is a chance for you to think & dream bigger when feelings of lost hope & faithlessness seep in. Know if you are maintaining YOUR PEACE, you are always winning in God’s eyes! Prioritizing Peace is the key to getting the most out of January 2024 and anchoring yourself through this major state of transitioning from an old space into something new.
🪞Self Check with these questions / Meditate on where you are beginning 2024 :
Are you listening to your body?
Do you have rituals, community & connections that fuel your faith?
What is the main thing(s) you harbor disappointment about from 2023?
How can you release your expectation / idea of how things should’ve been in 2023 or could be in 2024?
What does prioritizing YOUR peace look, feel & sound like in January 2024?
🚫No written Retrograde Receipt graphic for this one
🚫No additional written summary (its already in the caption)

"Spiritual emotions result in Christian practice because their object is the loveliness of spiritual things, not our self-interest. People have a defective Christianity because they are seeking their own interests in it, not God’s. So they accept Christianity only to the extent that they think it serves their interests. By contrast, a person who accepts it for its own excellent and lovely nature, accepts everything which has that nature."
- Jonathan Edwards
