Discovering Gods Love: The Healing Power of Journaling

WELCOME

Hello! I wanted to take a moment to greet you and introduce myself to those who may not be familiar with me. I'm Lori, and I've been on a spiritual journey with God since 1996. Throughout this journey, I've been incredibly blessed with a Spiritual Father and Mother who love me unconditionally. They introduced me to God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit in ways I had never experienced before, and it has profoundly transformed my life.

The Power of Journaling

My spiritual mom, Kim, encouraged me to journal, challenging me to write about the abuse and painful experiences I had endured when speaking about them felt impossible. She suggested that I write as if I were having a conversation with God. I carried a lot of trauma within me and struggled to express it due to feelings of shame, embarrassment, and fear of judgment. It was as though I was trapped in a prison within myself, desperately seeking escape but finding no way out. So, I turned to journaling.

Through this practice, God helped me find freedom from my past and healed my soul. My journals serve as a reference point, allowing me to reflect on where I started and how far I’ve come with His guidance. They remind me of the challenges I have faced and how He has always been by my side, even during the toughest times. He listened as I poured my heart onto the pages and responded, guiding me through this journey of life.

Good Morning God Blog

This is the inspiration behind my blog, Good Morning God. My aim is to pay it forward by sharing with you the love, revelations, and life lessons He has taught me and continues to teach me.

Life can often be challenging and feel overwhelming to navigate. However, having someone by your side to share God’s love during times when you feel lost and to believe in you even when you struggle to believe in yourself can truly make a difference. I know it changed my life forever. My greatest desire is to share the love of God with His children and see hearts healed and restored to Father God.

Coming to a real understanding of God’s love

I never had a strong bond with my father; he primarily played the role of a disciplinarian in my life. Growing up, there was little love expressed or communicated, which made it challenging for me to comprehend or accept God’s love. My spiritual father would often remind me, “You know God really loves you.” I would respond with a casual “Yeah, I know,” each time. His repeated reminders eventually became irritating to me. For years, I couldn’t grasp why he persisted in saying that.

Then one day, while journaling and conversing with the Father, I asked, “Why does my Spiritual Father keep telling me that You truly love me?” He replied, “Because for you, it’s only a matter of head knowledge, and I want it to transform into heart knowledge.” Those words resonated deeply within me, and I realized He was absolutely right. I repented and asked Him to fill my heart with His love and the true understanding of who He is.

God is love; it is His very essence. Love is not an emotion or feeling; it is a choice. Once we grasp this truth, it profoundly shifts our perception of many things. Remember, He is for you, not against you. *Jeremiah 29:11 (AMP) For I know the plans and thoughts that I have for you,’ says the Lord, ‘plans for peace and well-being and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.
