Branded with God.

Hello there,

How's your day going?
I hope that you're having  a nice one.
I was out horse ridding, and as we warmed up the horse, it is important, to do so, before you hop on board, because it's just kinder on them to get them all warmed up.
It came across my mind,  as I watched this amazing paint bred horse warm up, always listening to the next command.
it was amazing to bring him in, from trotting, how we need to be in step with the holy Spirit.
''Trotting'' in step with him.
Sometimes we go around so down, and out, and ''All about me, what about me, no one cares.'' they do care, but you have to think about the other person.
You can't go through life with blinkers on, we all know that Life doesn't work like that.
Life can be unfair, it can be cruel, 99% of the time it is.
You're not always going to win.
With my horse work, I'm so proud of how far we've come, I really am.
If I go and let the horse just go where he wants, and do what he wants while he's with me, I'm showing him, he's the boss.
We both need boundaries, both for him and for me.
And horses respect that, you ask them to back up they do back up, the come forward on command, because you've asked them.
Sometimes in our lives, we get to a point where we ask God, lord if only you work in this area, not in that area, we are taking control, and we starve the holy spririt in our lives.

We treat the holy spirit like a horse on a lunge rope, only go so far and that is it.
Eventually, he doesn't work, and the holy spirit goes away, and we're left why we are suffering, in this way or that way.

Because we have limited the holy spirit, and therefore limited God in our lives.
