Power Quote: Even when you are the absolute worst version of you, God still sees the best in you. Through His love, He creates a safe space for what He sees in you to come out of you to share with the world around you.
The Mental Health Evolution 🌱
As our society continues to embrace and accept mental health, we continually become more and more familiar with and understanding of foundational needs for the environment needed to address, support and improve our mental health. One such need is finding safe spaces for healing, growth and transformation.
The Safety Factor 🛡️
When we attempt to address our mental health in unsafe environments amongst unsafe people the outcome ain't sweet! On the other hand when we find our safe space, magical and unimaginable transformation, healing and restoration occurs.
Real Talk from Coach Raveling 💫
Peep what George Raveling, who was a great coach and even a greater man, says: "Transformation is a deeply personal journey, requiring vulnerability and acceptance that meaningful growth often (can only) come from discomfort."Raveling's words validate why safe spaces with safe people are needed to transform, as it is a vulnerable and uncomfortable journey.
Growth Mindset × God 📈✨
Along with that, to surrender your life to God is to sign up to be a growth-mindsetted person. Growth-mindsetted people, as opposed to fixed, are always striving to be better today than they were yesterday. Because that is the case, us God-led growth-mindsetted will always be on vulnerable and uncomfortable journeys to be better versions of ourselves.
Finding The Ultimate Safe Space 🏠
This journey to better can only be done if we identify the safest space and the Safest Person. When you consider safe spaces and safe people, I'm sure your list would include a space that provides unconditional love and support along with acceptance. Not only does God's loving relationship provide such a space, He provides it when we are the absolute worst versions of ourselves!
The Ultimate Proof: Romans 5:8 📖
Here are three powerful versions of Romans 5:8 that tell us about God's great and passionate love - shown to us even when we are weak, rebellious, lost and ungodly! Romans 5:8 proves that there is no place safer than God's presence - He loves and comforts us when we are the worst version of us which allows us to develop into the best version!
The Simple Truth ❤️
"But God showed his great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while we were still sinners." (NLT)
The Deep Dive 🌊
"Christ arrives right on time to make this happen. He didn't, and doesn't, wait for us to get ready. He presented himself for this sacrificial death when we were far too weak and rebellious to do anything to get ourselves ready. And even if we hadn't been so weak, we wouldn't have known what to do anyway. We can understand someone dying for a person worth dying for, and we can understand how someone good and noble could inspire us to selfless sacrifice. But God put his love on the line for us by offering his Son in sacrificial death while we were of no use whatever to him." (MSG)
The Heart Hit 💝
"But Christ proved God's passionate love for us by dying in our place while we were still lost and ungodly!" (TPT)
