Recently, I’d been having a hard time (feeling down, negative, old habits creeping back up). I was very confused why this was happening. God used a dear friend to speak to me. She could tell things were not right and so we had a chat. An Aha moment chat. When I told her what was going on, all she said was “How are you being filled?” Isn’t it interesting that the most profound Aha moments come from a question?

I know it might seem silly or simple, but the most significant AHA moment, thus far, happened about 6 years ago when I realized that God Loves Me. Period. God loves me. There are no, “if’s, and’s or but’s.” Sure, most of us think we know this, but I only knew it in my head. I didn’t accept it as Truth. I thought he was ashamed of me.
