Turn Off A Person’s Voice And Look At Their Countenance
Because we can only see one or a few sides of something or someone, we must trust that our all-knowing Father God, Who can see totally all sides of that love interest, that job, that business proposal, or that house that you’re thinking to buy, that the countenance of the situation/person (and our gut) will speak to our spirit if this is a good thing or not, as we turn down voices and look at the essence of what’s before us.

Why Settle For A Good Man When You Can Have A Godly Man?
SEELE editor, Ally poses the question: “why Settle For A Good Man When You Can Have A Godly Man?” In this day and age when the world is becoming more challenging, we need men who are also half bearers of the image of God to know their identity in their Creator God, to be surrendered to God, to know what it means to walk with Holy Spirit, to be filled with Holy Spirit, and to rely our Triumphant God as he leads his household.

It’s Easy to Get In, But Hard to Get Out
Marriages, contracts, business deals, loans, treaties…. It’s easy to get in these thingsbut it can be very hard to get out. Discernment, patience and prayer are three things that are necessary in avoiding the things in life that are easy to get in, but hard to get out.

A Heart for the City- Nineveh
The example of Jonah and God in the Book of Jonah shows the love, grace and mercy in the character of God. He has a great desire to turn back from destroying people; He wants to unleash His grace and mercy on all; He cares about animals- haha; and God has a heart for cities. Read Seele'e Friday Post on Jonah and the mercy of God.

Trust, With Every Fiber of Your Being
For the past 2 Fridays I have been posting directly from the Jesus Calling devotional, like I do every year. I use the last three weeks of December to take a slight break from Seele to refuel and quiet myself from the year and the holiday rush. The voice that Sarah Young, the writer of each devotional, is writing in is the voice our Triune God- as if he is sitting across the table speaking directly to you.

Who Do You Let Access You?
It’s possible to know a lot of people, especially if you’re a networker by nature or if you live in professional multi-cultural cities like Washington, DC and Brussels. But knowing a lot of people does not make them your friends. And having discernment about who accesses you is a key piece of wisdom I wish I knew 10 years ago.

Reaction to Action- Moving On
When it’s time to move on from a thing God will let you know and confirm it. And sure, God understands your attachment to the old thing. And sure, there might need to be a period of mourning and sulking. But after time has passed, you’ll sense God saying “You have mourned long enough for this thing, and it's time to let it go.”
