Words Are Powerful

Shaun Bradford

Facebook Memory: March 19, 2021

Words are powerful. They can either build or destroy. How are you using your words? Are you speaking life or death?

Same question today—how are you using your words? Are you speaking life or death? Are you building or destroying?

Be mindful of what you speak, especially when it comes to speaking about others. Be the person who builds relationships not destroy them. Be the one who speaks life, love, peace, and prosperity over others. I believe whatever we speak, whether over ourselves or others, we receive. Again, be mindful of what you speak. Words are very powerful.

Praying you have a wonderful day!♥️

Love you,

Why I Write What I Write

Shaun Bradford

I used to wonder why there were so many gospel songs about getting through hard times. Seemed like no one was ever on the other side. Someone was always going through something trying to get to better. Well, this morning it dawned on me—after posting one of thousands of the same “Lord, please help us through the struggle” posts—that so many are actually going through something and need encouragement or motivation to make it through. They need hope.

Side note: I was pretty annoyed with myself after my last blog. Just being honest. I was like, “Girl, no more struggle posts. People are tired of reading them.” Then, I was reminded that there are people who are actually going through some pretty rough times right now and are on the verge of giving up. They need a little bit of hope to continue on. Hope is what has gotten us this far, and it’s hope that will keep us going. Amen

Gotta keep hope alive.♥️

Do Not Throw In The Towel

Hold on. God is working. He’s already set things in motion. Listen, you cannot afford to give up now.♥️

It’s true, you cannot afford to give up. Your purpose is much too great.

My friend, push through; pray through; but whatever you do, please do not throw in the towel. Do not settle for where you are, thinking this is it, this is how life is meant to be. Nope! God has many more years of blessings planned for your life. Just hold on a little while longer. I promise you, God is working everything out. You will get through this.♥️

Love you,

Hello Sunday

Shaun Bradford

Happy Sunday, y’all! Was debating whether to write about what’s currently going on in my life (things are finally settling down—will share later) or share a Facebook memory. Well…I chose the memory. Smile. Its message could not be any clearer—God’s will be done.

Whatever it is, release control and surrender to God’s will. Believe me, He will not let you fail. He’s got you.

Of course I heard Marvin L. Winans singing, “Draw Me Close To You/Thy Will Be Done.” Smile. He ends the song with, “I seen You work in others and I want You to work in me.”

This morning’s prayer is:

Lord, I am surrendering it all to you. I have seen Your work with others and know You will do the same with me. Lord, I completely trust You with my all. Thy will be done. Amen

Praying you have a wonderful week! Stay in prayer. Stay connected to God. Love you!♥️

Celebrate In Advance

Shaun Bradford

Acknowledge where you are, but celebrate where you are going. Where you are is only temporary. Brighter days are ahead.♥️ ~Shaun

Celebrate in advance.

Side Note: Don’t let social media fool you. You are not the only one going through something. Everyone is struggling with something, whether it’s visible or not. Where you are is only temporary.
