Light Writes

The Introduction Hi, love!  I'm Light.  Welcome to Light Writes!  A special, special welcome to the  “Glow Up”  series. “ Glow Up ”, a divinely-inspired series of letters by Light Writes, is my way of openly expressing my experiences of becoming a 𝕓𝕠𝕝𝕕𝕖𝕣, 𝕓𝕣𝕚𝕘𝕙𝕥𝕖𝕣, and more 𝕓𝕠𝕟𝕒 𝕗𝕚𝕕𝕖 version of myself.  In it, I  shine light on how I have  matured and transitioned in my intrapersonal, interpersonal, and spiritual relationships.  Follow my pen as I explore the topics of self-love, humility, hobbies, boundaries, confidence, content creation, conquering fears, expansion in ministry, friendships, romance, and more.  I am absolutely pumped to be vulnerable, and share my heart-felt experiential wisdom with you. Stay safe. P.S.  (All credit goes to God for this series and its name, the content, my ability to write . . . Goosebumps.  Thank You, Papa.) Want more Light? Follow me!

“Talk to Me,” Jesus empathetically replied To a disconcerted mind; Ever since, Prayer has been My favourite pastime. Nothing beats prayer.

Honest communication between hearts  Destined to be intertwined, Helps me to accept irrevocably that  Abba is the safest place to unwind. I encourage you to do the same. No matter what's on your mind, Jesus says,          “ Talk to Me.” Want more Light? Follow me!

All that I share here is based on my personal experiences with others and God.  Allow me to begin: A significant portion of your healing can only be experienced through openness to others.

During the process of healing, God sends those whom He knows have the grace to handle you, your flaws and all. (If they're not already in your life, rest assured that they'll be here soon.) If you need the faithful or the gracious, the loving and affectionate, the peaceful or . . . and the list goes on, God sends them to you, ...
