UNDAUNTED
For a few very hard years this word was my mantra.
The word means
-undismayed; not discouraged; not forced to abandon purpose or effort
-undiminished in courage or valor; not giving way to fear
But the truth is, I was often dismayed by everything that had taken place, and I did battle discouragement. I battled fear and doubts. I hurt and was angry, and sometimes "undaunted" sounded more like a mockery than a mantra, and I was determined to be real about all of it in these posts, thus the name, Undaunted Reality. More than that, though, I was determined to live undaunted, not because I'm so great or strong, but because my God is, and no matter what this world looks like, He is the only reality that matters.
I pray I live the reality of Him beautifully undaunted.

Lent Day 34--Remember: Love does not Dishonor

Love is patient. Love is kind.
It does not envy.
It does not boast. It is not proud.
It does not dishonor others...

Stop and consider the power of such words.

It does not dishonor others...

It is patient. It is kind.
It does not envy.
It does not boast. It is not proud.
It does not dishonor others...

Love is neither fixated on what it gets right or on what others get wrong.

It is patient. It is kind.
It does not envy.
It does not boast. It is not proud.
It does not dishonor others...

If only there were a gate over my mouth and the key to words getting through was to love...and not dishonor.

Love is patient. Love is kind.
It does not envy.
It does not boast. It is not proud.
It does not dishonor others...
