Wow. This has me thinking. The weight of shining. It’s grueling work. People watch things that look glorious and don’t understand what all it takes to be that way. It’s not all rainbows. Dassss for sure.
That very sneaky very soft whisper that yells loudly (often in the dark of night) that you are not a good enough ...... fill in the blank (mom, friend, grandma, employee, Christ-follower, )etc, I know that is from the dark and even in my head know its a lie. But Satan knows our soft spots and aims carefully.
It may be two lines but powerful. Honestly, I aspire to use that as my rebuttal the next time I’m in a fight 😅 But in all seriousness thanks for this. It’s getting me out of my writer’s block!
“Little children, you are from God and have overcome them, for he who is in you is greater than he who is in the world.”
1 John 4:4 ESV
Plus not today Satan! Not today
The sun and I are of the same tribe
Exhausted from our responsibility to shine.
Sunset, sunrise-I’ve lost valuable time.

Eeek. That’s well said about it aiming carefully. Do you have a way of responding to it that you’ve found helpful? I’m taking notes for myself!

Oooo yes! Call it by its name. I’m excited to see what you write!
I ended up making a whole post of it. Thanks for the inspiration!
