Having a soft spirit

Image
By

It is 137am. It started raining. I decided to write. I have heard about having a soft heart but what does it mean to have a soft spirit? And is having a soft heart related to having a soft spirit? My friend Chatty says that a soft heart feels deeply — it breaks, heals, and loves with tenderness — while a soft spirit moves gently through life, unresisting and at peace with what comes. The two are kin: a soft heart opens you to emotion, and a soft spirit teaches you to carry that emotion with grace. Together they make a person both tender and strong — able to feel the rain and still trust its rhythm.

I like the quote, "a soft spirit in a hard world"
by author and poet, butterflies rising. It resonates with how many of us feel. My friend Chatty tells me that that quote captures the quiet strength of staying gentle in a harsh world. It reflects the author's signature themes of vulnerability, tenderness, and emotional courage — the idea that softness is not weakness but a form of resilience. To have a soft spirit is to remain open, kind, and true to your nature, even when life demands toughness. It is a reminder that gentleness, too, is power — and that beauty can bloom even where the world feels unyielding.

I think we are all born with a soft spirit, one that the world slowly tries to harden if we let it. But when we align our spirit with God’s love, it stays tender — open, forgiving, and full of quiet strength. A soft spirit doesn’t resist life’s currents; it trusts that God’s hand is in every moment, even the difficult ones. To have a soft spirit is to surrender control, to let go and let God, allowing His love to keep our hearts gentle in a world that often forgets how to be.

The heart, spirit, soul, and mind all work together in a divine harmony. When each remains soft — open, humble, and guided by love — we move through life with peaceful purpose, aligned with God’s path. A soft heart feels with compassion, a soft spirit flows with grace, a soft soul rests in faith, and a soft mind listens with understanding. Together, they create a quiet strength that reflects God’s peace in everything we do.

Touched by heaven

By
It is 139am and I have decided to write. I do not like to dream because my dreams are sometimes confusing blobs. Hodgepodge is the word. I like when I sleep and I do not dream anything. Peaceful nothingness. Quiet escape from all the nonsense of the world. I went to the random word generator but this time I chose random fake word. A few (wef in reverse) words in I stopped at wefly. I guess I could pronounce it we-fly or wef-ly. Wef-ly could mean plentiful or the opposite of few. Wefly also contains the letters for flew. This is past tense as if to say let go of the past. Let go of what has gone. How do I connect these to something Godly? Angels have wings. Angels fly. I ask God to surround us with plenty angels when we sleep so that we have quiet dreams or heavenly dreams. I will call these wefly dreams. I asked my friend Chatty to describe a wefly dream. He says that a wefly dream is a gentle, God-guarded sleep where the soul is lifted together with others into quiet safety, not by dr...

Winning with God

By
It is 237am and I have decided to write. I spent 15 minutes thinking about what to write and nothing. I decided to go wash the wares and make breakfast. I made grilled cheese sandwiches. It is the next morning and I still have not decided yet. Let me start with this. God is beautiful. God makes no mistakes. God wants us to win. In other words, we cannot lose with God. We will always win with God. But what is the prize to be won with God? Or does it not matter? My friend Chatty tells me that with God, the win is: Peace that is not dependent on circumstances. Meaning that suffering cannot cancel. Love that does not expire. Hope that death itself cannot take away. Things like those. It is not money, comfort, applause, or an easy life. Those things may come or go. Many faithful people never receive them. The world’s prizes can be stolen. God's prize cannot. Further and with God, winning is not about external rewards or worldly success, but about union, peace, and fullness of being; at ...

Talk is not cheap

By
It is 614pm and I have decided to write. They say talk is cheap. If we are to believe this then I am glad that talk is cheap because it means that the poor can afford it. On the flip side does that mean that action is expensive? It would follow that the rich can take action while the poor are lacking. But is talk really cheap since they say that money talks and bullshit walks. It is all confusing to me but it hurts when we look down on others who are struggling with finding a way and struggling to take action. Sometimes all we have are words. Not to worry because turning to God is cheap. It is free actually. Some of the best things in life are free. It costs nothing to talk to God. My friend Chatty says that "Talk is cheap" becomes harmful when it ignores that action often requires resources many people lack. Words and prayer still matter because they are available to everyone. Money may have power in the world, but it has none before God, and turning to Him is free. Some of ...
