Or do you feel peaceful and connected to God\u2019s divine love?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wherever you are, I\u2019d like to invite you to pause for just a few minutes. Take a few deep breaths. Cover your ears if you need to\u2014shut out the noise of the world\u2014and intentionally turn your heart toward God. \ud83d\udc9b<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Open your heart to Him. Let it all out. Ask Him to help you feel peace. I promise that His light and divine love can calm your troubled heart and bring peace to your mind and soul. He will allow you to feel His love as you invite Him to be with you right now. \ud83d\udc96<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The more disconnected we are from God, the harder it becomes to feel His love, His peace, and the inspiration He has waiting for us. Notice how the world pulls at us. It tells us we need more money, better looks, more followers, more achievements \u201cto be of worth.\u201d So much of our energy is spent chasing these things. Some people spend their entire lives searching for \u201cmore,\u201d hoping it will finally make them feel enough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I truly believe this is one of Satan\u2019s greatest lies\u2014to keep us focused on materialism, pride, and vanity so we forget who we really are.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>God, on the other hand, teaches something very different. He invites us not to cling or be attached to the temporary things of this world, but to nurture the one thing we will take with us when we leave this earth\u2014our spirit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When we make time daily to check in spiritually and come to Him, we begin to realize that we don\u2019t need to be attached to what will one day fade away. We begin to center our lives on what is eternal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>God\u2019s love is not just something we believe in\u2014it is something we experience. We see it in tender mercies, in answered prayers, in nature. We feel it in moments of unexpected peace. We recognize it in the strength that carries us when we thought we had none left.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The scriptures remind us:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI have loved thee with an everlasting love: therefore with lovingkindness have I drawn thee.\u201dJeremiah 31:3<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Everlasting means it did not begin when we finally \u201cgot it right,\u201d and it will not end when we stumble. His love precedes us. His love sustains us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There is nothing in this world that will bring more joy to a soul than truly knowing God and having a relationship with Him. No amount of money or achievement can replace the peace of a soul who comes to know God and knows that He loves each one of us individually. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During our hardest challenges\u2014and even at the end of our lives\u2014the knowledge that we know Him and He knows us is what will bring true peace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So today, check in at a soul level. Ask yourself: What can I gently release? What am I holding onto that pulls me away from God?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Come to Him in prayer. Let Him guide you. He has a beautiful plan for your life. He has answers to your deepest questions and understands the desires of your heart. Hear Him\u2014and act on what you feel. His love is always there. We simply choose whether or not to draw near. \ud83d\udc9b<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As we begin to truly feel God\u2019s love, we realize something beautiful: His love isn\u2019t meant to stop with us. It is meant to flow through us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jesus taught:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cBy this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.\u201d John 13:35<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To love others is to reflect Him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We all have difficult people and situations in our lives. Sometimes we simply need to pause, take a few deep breaths, and ask God to help us see the person or circumstance in a way that brings healing. \u2764\ufe0f\u200d\ud83e\ude79<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We can choose patience over pride. Kindness over criticism. Forgiveness over offense. Little by little, we learn to walk with Christ\u2014and others begin to feel His love through us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To know Jesus Christ is more than knowing about Him. It is walking with Him daily. It is speaking with Him in prayer. It is opening the scriptures not out of obligation, but from a sincere desire to hear His voice. It is asking, \u201cLord, who do You need me to become today?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Savior Himself said:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cDraw near unto me and I will draw near unto you.\u201d Doctrine and Covenants 88:63<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Notice the invitation: draw near. This is daily. It is intentional. It builds our relationship with Christ and He promises to draw near to us. \ud83d\udc9b<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As we come to know Christ personally, something beautiful happens. Our fears soften. Our perspective shifts. Our love expands. We begin to see ourselves\u2014and others\u2014the way He does: with compassion, hope, and eternal vision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Just know this: God is here for you. His love is woven into your everyday life. Look for it and you\u2019ll see it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\ud83c\udf31<strong>Our Spiritual Goal for This Week is: <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Spend 10 intentional minutes each day coming to know Christ. Read a few verses from the New Testament or other scriptures and ask yourself:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhat does this teach me about who He is?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Write one sentence each day about what you learn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>\ud83d\udc9b Physical Goal for This Week:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Move your body with gratitude at least four times this week. walk, stretch, strength train, dance\u2014anything that feels life-giving. As you move, thank God for one specific thing your body allows you to do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When we honor both our spirit and our body, we align ourselves more fully with the God who created both. \ud83e\udd79\u2764\ufe0f<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I hope you can make it to class tonight at 7pm!!! Our goal is to release stress, strengthen our body, and have an amazing Christ-centered meditation that will leave us feeling true peace and joy. Hope that you can make it and invite others to benefit as well. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Just remember:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2764\ufe0f You are loved. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\ud83d\udc9b You are seen. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\ud83e\udd0d &amp; He is nearer than you think. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Love,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lili \ud83c\udf38<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How\u2019s your love gauge today?
