Hieronder een tekst van Lorie Ladd (www.lorieladd.com):

What if instead of using “Self-Help”, I started using “God-Help” :).

What I mean by this is… I can go online and search something I am “Dealing” with (anxiety, stress, depression, etc) and some professional or expert or influencer can tell me what to do and how to do it order to “heal from something I believe needs healing.

Nothing wrong with this, but it is a loop. It never ends. It’s me looking for someone else or something else to do that what only God can do.

There is always something I can find that needs healing or fixing. There is always something I think should or should not be here. Someone out there must have an answer for me or a solution.

But what happens when I start going straight to God instead? I walk downtime God-help aisle and not the Self-Help aisle. I don’t want to be the one that helps myself anymore. I want God to be the one that helps me now.

This is just my feelings, my beliefs. But since I started going straight to God and not myself, someone else, or something else, life has been very different in the best way possible.

I have a clartiy, a freedom, a feeling of “all is going to be just fine” that feels so darn good.

I double down on “there are no mistakes”. I believe this in all my being.

All the noise, distraction opinions in the world quiets when I go straight to God.

I walk into the bookstore, I hear all the different opinions wearing costumes like self-help, non-fiction, mystery, sci-fi, and I walk straight to the GOD aisle.

As soon as I stand in front of the aisle I feel calm. All the opinions from all the other aisles quiet.

I feel a sense of home without anything changing.

I feel this subtle and quiet voice that says “You’re ok. You’re going to be just fine. Trust me”.

Here is the thing, I can’t see any books in this aisle. If I walk down the self-help aisle ot the non-fiction aisle I can see so many books. There is proof that it exists. I can trust it.

But when I walk down the one and only aisle that I feel most safe and at home in I can’t see the books. There are no books to pick up. I don’t have proof that can validate what I feel when I am in this aisle. I just have to trust in what I feel. I have to trust in the unknown. If not, I will be lead to other aisles that will not in any way offer the clarity calm, peace, and home that the GOD aisle offers.

So why do I chose God-Help over Self-Help. Because it’s the pure, It’s the realest feeling I have ever felt. Because I can’t control it and I don’t have to pay for it. It’s free. It’s void of opinion It’s the purpose of life.

Why am I sharing this with you today…

because you don’t need anyone or anything to know that you are safe, you are ok, you don’t need to heal something in order to be perfect in God’s eyes. God is right here right now in all the mess. Right here with us as we read these words. Nothing you need to do. No vibration you need to shift into. Nothing you need to change in order to be loved, held and seen with and by God.

Well there is one thing, you gotta let go of having proof and being in control

So, maybe today, look for the GOD aisle and walk down into today. There won’t be books, but I can promise you there will be God.

You are so so so so so so loved!
