True Happiness

Shaun Bradford

True happiness comes from within.

You can’t find true happiness in things or people, and you surely cannot buy it. Believe me, I have tried before only to end up in the same state—feeling sad, depressed, unloved—after the excitement was over. No, true happiness is God-given and comes from within.♥️

True happiness comes from within. Wishing you much happiness and peace.♥️

Wishing you true happiness.

On another note, earlier this morning I watched Jay Shetty’s podcast with philanthropist, Melinda French Gates. It was a conversation I was already interested in hearing. However, I did not know it would end up being one I needed to hear. Yes, needed to hear. I can’t say it enough, I just love how God loves me. He always sends the right messages at the absolute right time. Always.

Here’s the link, if you are interested: Jay Shetty with Melinda French Gates.

Praying you’re having a wonderful day this far.♥️

Take Care,

Hold On, Your Breakthrough Is Coming

Shaun Bradford

When we see or hear messages like the one above, we tend to believe our breakthrough is right around the corner. Well, sometimes that corner is very long, like years long. Just know that eventually your breakthrough will happen. Hold on as long as you can in your power. Then when you can’t hold on any longer, give it to God.

Honestly, I am not necessarily sure what I was waiting for besides my divorce, which happened two years later. I am pretty sure there was so much more by the exclamation marks and dancing emoji I used.

A lot has happened in seven years. I am so grateful for every breakthrough I experienced. They strengthened my relationship with God, and made me who I am today.

I pray that whatever breakthrough you are waiting for happens soon. If it doesn’t, just hold on. Believe me, it will happen.♥️

Love you,

Shaun

God’s Plans Are Always Best

Shaun Bradford
Originally shared on July 9, 2022.

I have absolutely no idea of what God has planned next for my life. I’m just going with the flow. As so many wise ones have said, God will show you the vision (got that), but not the many details along the way that are necessary to His plans. Here is what Year50 taught me—Yes, it took nearly 50 years to learn this:

1) Stay in the passenger seat. God is an amazing driver.

2) Remain under God’s covering. His presence and protection are forces to be reckoned with.

3) Trust God’s plans and His guidance. He sees and knows ALL—every tiny detail, every thought, every conversation.

On this side of 50, I have chosen to stick with God’s plans because I know (not believe) they are best. There are none better. Another thing Year50 taught me was God is the Master of plot twists. So yeah, I am sticking with His plans. Smile

Praying you have an amazing day!♥️

Love you,

Shaun

Can You Trust God When…

Shaun Bradford

Can you trust God when…

You believe no other options are available?

You can’t see a way out?

Your situation seems too complex for even Him to solve?

Today, I found myself in a situation where I went through all the stages above. Then, when I finally accepted the fact that I could not do it on my own and decided to release control (even the tiniest of control I was holding on to), God stepped in and handled everything! I mean, He went to work. Everything flowed so smoothly after I let go.

I write about releasing control all the time, but sometimes I find myself still in the driver’s seat or trying to give God directions on how I believe things should go. I’m human. It wasn’t the first time and I am pretty sure it won’t be the last. Just wanted to share my testimony with you.

Listen, whatever it is, even if it seems like something you can handle on your own, let it go. Give it to God. Don’t wait until you become frustrated. Give it to Him in the beginning, when you first feel the struggle. Believe me—and I say this all the time—God’s got you!

Love you!♥️
