My Journey With God, No. 85

Shaun Bradford

Yesterday, I shared the New King James Version of the Bible verse, Psalm 23:6, which uses the phrase “goodness and mercy.” However, not all versions of the Bible use the term “mercy.” Instead, some use “love”. Here is the New International Version (NIV) version of the same verse:

Psalm 23:6

“Surely your goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.”

“Surely your goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life.”

Of course, I want God’s goodness and mercy to follow me all the days of my life; however, I also want His love to follow me. I never want to be without either of these—including the last part of the verse—“And I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.”

Oh, to have God’s goodness, mercy, and love with me every day and to live in His presence forever. What a beautiful gift!

I am truly blessed—beyond blessed.🥰

Mellow Moments Are Necessary

Shaun Bradford
No phone. No music. No distractions—not even your thoughts. Just you and God.😌

Mellow moments are so necessary.

Sitting here looking out the window, wishing I was a carefree little girl again. It’s the perfect weather for playing outside or lying on the grass gazing up at the sky. The birds are having sooo much fun. I wish I could be out there with them, enjoying God’s glory. Maybe I’ll join them for a few minutes tomorrow or Thursday.

Yes, mellow moments are necessary. If they don’t happen naturally, be intentional about creating them. Believe me, your soul will thank you.♥️

I love you much,

Shaun

Our Journeys

Shaun Bradford

Our journeys are shaped by our past and present experiences, which means our future experiences can influence our coming journey.

Or…

Our future journeys will create our experiences.

So, do we wait for our journey to decide, or do we create experiences that shape our journeys?

Definitely something to think about.

Love you!♥️

Hello Sunday

Shaun Bradford

Good Morning☀️

On April 13, 2022, I was listening to Tasha Cobbs Leonard’s song, “For Your Glory.” The song says—

Lord if I
Find favor in Your sight
Lord please
Hear my hearts cry

I’m desperately waiting
To be where You are
I’ll cross the hottest desert
I’ll travel near or far

For Your glory
I will do anything
Just to see You
To behold You as my King

I wanna be where You are
Peace is where You are
Joy is where You are
And love is who You are

Lyrics: LyricFind and Missing Link Music

Wherever God is, there’s peace, joy, and love. I don’t want to be anywhere He’s not. Our existence is for God’s glory.

I pray you have a wonderfully, blessed Sunday. Wishing you much peace, joy, and love.♥️

I love you always,

Shaun

What’s Done In Love

Shaun Bradford

What is done in love is done well. – Vincent van Gogh

I saw this mural earlier today and had to take a picture. Not only is it beautiful, but the quote is by one of my favorite artists, Vincent van Gogh. The quote is true—when something is done in love, it’s typically done well.💗

Here’s another message from earlier.

“Take a moment just for you.”

This one made me smile. I was doing just that—I was taking a moment for myself. God knows exactly what we need when we need it. Forever grateful and blessed.🥰

I pray that your Friday has been just as lovely as you are. Wishing you a wonderful rest of the day and a beautiful weekend.♥️

Love you,

Shaun

You Are A Conqueror

Shaun Bradford

So many tears shed in silence. So many battles only God knew about. At times, the pain, disappointments, and heartaches seemed unbearable, yet you made it. YOU made it! You are a conqueror—more than a conqueror.♥️

I love you always,

Shaun
