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.

Seele’s Editor, reminds us that we are both Pharaoh and the Israelite. There are times in our lives when we oppress and are oppressed, and it is our Great SAVIOR, Jesus who has come to set us free from both.

King Hussein of Jordan to his son: “I could have stepped in but I didn’t. I had to see what you were made of.” King Hussein knew that one day Abdullah would become king and ‘to whom much is given, much is required.’

This year I’m starting Seele’s Friday post with a series on “How’s Your Soul?” It’s more personal where I will cover Ego, Brokenness, Spiritual Life, Dating & Marriage, Porn, Family, People and Money. When “I” or “self” is supreme in our lives there is no room for God. The only way we can TRULY know God is with humility, and it’s through Him that we will begin to love others as we love ourselves.

If people realize with their hearts and minds that they are (or can be) powerful people of God, then they walk forward with their dreams and desires with more boldness. But we often need a refiners fire (challenges that try us) to light us up so that we can come out as pure gold.

I’ve got one and you’ve got one- a conscience. That thing that jerks us back when we do wrong, and that that gives our hearts peace when we’ve made the right decision...

There are seasons in life when we’re in the unexplainable, where we’re being pressed, where situation after situation that comes makes us exhausted, and where we can’t understand why we’re being pressed on every side.

It can be so easy to compare ourselves to others, to be envious of another, and to try and emulate what someone else is doing. If we resolve to look at our own papers, to look at our own lives and not compare ourselves to others, then we won’t have any reason to look at someone else’s paper.
