Don’t Give Up

Posted on by

I messed up. I mean really really messed up.

It’s one of those times when I took a long hard look at myself and saw my outright mess, rebellion and disobedience staring me face to face. How could I let it get to this point I ask myself?

Regret, shame, guilt, condemnation weighed heavy on my mind.

Ugh.

Can you relate? Have you ever had these same thoughts and feelings?

What do you do when you struggle with these kinds of emotions? Feelings that tell you how awful you are? Do agree with them? Do you have strength to fight them off? If you agree with these demeaning feelings, you’re only going to sink deeper and deeper in the pit of shame. But how in the world do you not allow these thoughts and feelings to control you?

This whole “feelings battle” is something that we will deal with our entire life. It is a war that never goes away and that is why we must learn how to fight it. To know how to fight effectively to win a battle it takes training. Also knowing the opponent you are fighting is key. It is when we don’t know who we are fighting that we are in great danger.

Recently after engaging with this “feelings battle” yet again, I found myself sinking quickly into that pit of shame. In the midst of all my emotions I allowed myself to wallow in them. I knew it was not a good place to be. After about 48 hours of letting myself agree with my feelings and sink deeper into the pit, I noticed even while in my misery I was still putting one foot in front of the other the whole time. I was fighting the battle even though I felt like I was falling deeper.

How was I actually fighting? I kept pursuing God through His word. It was not easy, and I did not immediately “feel” better. I still felt a heaviness of regret and shame through the process. But I did not quit. As I continued moving forward while feeling weighed down, God began showing me clearly, He was here with me every step of the way.

Text message, after text message were unexpectedly popping up left and right. Friends, mentors, clients, and even strangers were speaking life into me. They were speaking the very words of God to me to remind me that God loved me, and He was proud of me. God showed me through them that He was still using me for His divine purpose even in the middle of my mess. He showed me that His grace and forgiveness was irrevocable. That is what the blood covenant is all about.

Dear reader, I share this with you today to first encourage you. Don’t give up on yourself. God loves you and He will never reject you or give up on you. Extend the same love and grace to yourself as He does. Secondly, always remember you are in a battle and the enemy is sneaky trying to still your joy. Do not give him a foothold. Continue to fill your mind with truth every single day. READ THE BIBLE. Find ways to incorporate more scripture throughout your day. For example, download a bible app such as YouVersion on your phone that will notify you with a scripture verse for the day or place scripture around your home. Building a stronger intimate relationship with Christ doesn’t come by chance, it takes intention, but the rewards are far greater than anything you can dare to ask or imagine.

TAKE ACTION: Take the next 5 minutes to add scripture to your life. Place scripture around your home, download a Bible App or replace your phone screen saver with a verse. It’s the little things that will help you renew your mind and create deeper intimacy with Christ.

Seeing Jesus

Posted on by

How do you see Jesus? When you close your eyes, how do you visualize our teacher, our Rabbi, our healer, our friend, our King, our deliverer, our Savior?

For as long as I can remember when I think about being in the presence of Jesus, I see us walking together outside and taking time to sit down for an intimate conversation. He’s in a soft white robe. He has a radiance about him. Often times he takes me in his arms and hugs me with an indescribable love. His smile speaks a thousand words. It’s contagious. His eyes sparkle with joy, compassion, gentleness, and excitement. It’s like I’m looking into a deep sea of love.

When I’m with Jesus I feel loved. He is proud of me. He is overjoyed with every detail about me. I am perfect when I’m with him. I don’t need to change anything about me. When I’m settled in this place with Jesus, I am the most confident. I don’t question my value, my worth, my abilities, my purpose, or my life.

In the presence of Jesus, I rest.

It’s vital in growing our relationship with Christ that we take time to intentionally connect with Him visually, that we see Him with the eyes of our heart. Ephesians 1:18 tells us, “I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in his holy people”. This gives me unshakable confidence in myself and my identity when I see Him through the eyes of my heart.

I want to invite you today to set a timer for five minutes, close your eyes and spend time with Jesus. Be sure to have a journal nearby so you can write down anything you see or hear Him speaking to you. This is a great way to begin dialoging with God. And even if this is something that you’ve never done before or you think it’s not for you, I challenge you to go for it! You just might be surprised how Jesus shows up. He’s ready to meet with you friend. Enjoy building a deeper intimate relationship with Christ!

God Needs You

Posted on by

When I was journaling this week, I asked God, “What do you think about me?” His response was filled with such loving and sweet life-giving words that it made me feel seen, chosen, unique, and very needed in the world. As He spoke to me through pen on paper, His presence overwhelmed me with peace.

I continued to write in my journal, and I knew the words were not only for me, but for YOU, yes YOU dear reader. I believe God is speaking to you as you read these words right now and this is what He is longing for you to know …

Your life matters. Your voice matters. Your words matter. Your story matters. I need you. I need you to use all your unique gifts to reach the people I’ve chosen for you to reach. I need every child of mine to use their gifts so that I can speak through them. Every voice put together creates my megaphone to the world!

Friend, do you hear that God needs you? He needs me. He needs us to be His mouthpiece to the world.

One-way God often speaks to us is through an echo. When we hear something over and over that is a way God is speaking to us. For example, when you hear a message from a pastor or leader and later you find yourself in a conversation with a friend and you hear them repeating the same thing, that is God speaking and confirming His voice through the echo of another.

If you’re anything like me, you’ve compared yourself to so many others in the world. I’ve had thoughts like my voice really doesn’t matter or look at how successful they are, little ole me is not “that important”. Can you relate? Well friend, that is just not true. Those are lies the enemy likes to whisper in our ear. The truth is, we do matter and God needs us! It is a great big world and God needs every single one of us on the battlefield speaking life and love into others.

So my friend, what will you do with this revelation? I want to invite you to grab a journal and ask God. Maybe begin by writing out one of these questions to Him:

God, what do you think about me?

God, what gifts do you see in me?

God, whose life do I need to speak into today?

After writing out a question to God, continue writing. He will speak to you. I recently finished the book Dialog With God: Opening The Door To Two-Way Prayer in my KINEO Ministry Training Class. I highly recommend it to learn more about journaling with God.

I pray this blog post excites you in your relationship with God and inspires you to connect with Him today. He loves nothing more than communing with you.

I’ve taken a break from writing blog post for a pretty long time but have felt prompted by the Holy Spirit (echoing over and over!) it is time to write. The purpose of my website is to be a place of love and encouragement in building a stronger intimate relationship with Christ. I want to thank you for being a part of this community at lindakuhar.com and I hope you’ll share it with others.

Please Watch…This is For You!

Posted on by

From my journal … this conversation is for YOU my friend.

I receive this gift today. I receive this life, my body, my mind, my health. Thank you Lord. Thank you for the millions of blessings around me every day. Give me eyes to see your gifts and ears to hear your ways. Lord help me not to take for granted this life. Help me to just live today, soak it all up and truly love all of it. Lord there is nothing to fear because eternity awaits. Help me be the messenger of your love to a hurting world. Let that always be my focus. Forgive my selfish ways. Give me images of heaven to focus on and live for. Fill my mind and spirit with all your peace, love and joy. In Jesus name I pray. Amen.

“My child you are on the right path. Soak this up every day. Living from this place will keep you on solid ground. Striving does not exist when you live in my presence. Keep going, you’re exactly where I want you to be. Remain in just living today. I love you child. I adore you. I cherish you. And I will keep you safe always. I am always with you. You will never be alone.”

Be Flexible in Your Schedule

Posted on by

Today’s coaching tip is on being flexible!

What do you do when something completely messes up your routine after setting your goal and coming up with a specific plan? For me this week it was jury duty that wrecked my schedule.

I had a choice to make, either wait until the evening to do my run or get up extra early and run in the dark. I know myself all to well, which meant I had to get my exercise in the wee morning hours or more than likely I’d skip out on it at night.

When life gets in the way it can be an easy excuse not to follow through in our goals.

Are you going to give into excuses or be flexible?

Week 2 – You Are Not Alone

Posted on by

Hello friends!

I’m going to be real honest with you and today … I did not want to go out for my long run!

I woke up and felt like I had aches and pains from head to toe. I really wanted to procrastinate and put my run off until tomorrow.

Last week I had two unexpected doctor appointments that gave me a little scare. Everything is fine and I’m completely healthy, but it really did mess with my mindset.

Have you ever set a goal and then out of nowhere opposition challenges you?

That’s what happened to me last week, the very first week of training for my half marathon!

Let me know where you are struggling with your goal? What support do you need to keep moving forward?

If you are not struggling with your goal, think about what challenges you might face in the weeks ahead and how you can prepare yourself so that you will stay on track when opposition comes?

Leave me a comment and let me know how you are doing with your goal and where might you need support.

You are not alone in this. Together we will achieve our goals!
