Pouring our hearts out before the Lord can feel really foreign, but David in the Bible, who was known for doing so, once said of God: “Tell him all your troubles and pour out your heart-longings to him. Believe me when I tell you—he will help you!” (Ps 62:8 TPT). And help David, God did—time and again, giving him numerous victories on the battlefield. ⠀ Plus, if you think about it, you can certainly be 100% honest with the One who created you and knows you inside out. From the seemingly smallest to hugest of your problems, He’s all ears. He won’t be shocked by your darkest, ugliest thoughts…and best of all, you will leave that conversation (or cry sesh) with the Lord stronger. Happier. And ready to face life again. ⠀ Will you pour out your heart before your #1 confidant and friend today? #RepostedVideo from @DecibelOne

One overlooked thing that really sets the Lord of the Rings films apart from other franchises is how earnest they are-

Most movies are so afraid of being “cheesy” that whenever they say something like “friendship is the most powerful force in the world” they quickly undercut it with a joke to show We Don’t Really Believe That! ;)  Even Disney films nowadays have the characters mock their own movie’s tropes (”if you start singing, I’m gonna throw up!”) It’s like winking at the camera: “See, audience? We know this is ridiculous! We’re in on the joke!”

But Lord of the Rings is just 12.5 hours of friendship and love being the most powerful forces in the world, played straight. Characters have conversations about how much their home and family and friends mean to them, how hope is eternal, how there is so much in the world that’s worth living for…. and the film doesn’t apologize for that. There’s no winking at the audience about How Cheesy and Silly All This Is; it’s just. Completely in earnest.

And when Lord of the Rings does “lean on the fourth wall” to talk about storytelling within the film, it’s never to make jokes about How Ridiculous These Storytelling Tropes are (the way most films do)…. but instead to talk about how valuable these stories can be. Like Sam’s Speech at the end of the Two Towers: the greatest stories are ones that give you something to believe in, give you hope, that help you see there are things in a bleak violent world that are worth living for

#MyLittleMissyה made this, brought it to me and said, "You are my first customer". I asked her for how much she was selling them and she said KES 55. I paid, KES 5 in cash and KES 50 put aside for her. I don't intend to take it off. #EffectiveBusiness

Let Go

That concern that you may have on your heart right now

The worry that may burden your mind

The fear that may seize

The nagging preoccupation that may be weighing

However big it is, however "small" it is

Let it go.

In Christ, you can let it go unto your Abba

You can let go of all worry, care, concern, burdens, preoccupation; and give way to God, to work it all out for your good.

And He does; Your Abba works out all things together for your good.

So, let go.

Be free

Be light

Be unburdened

And let God work it all together for your good, on your behalf.
