"I'm Not Reading That...I Don't Have Time"

But many times you won't say this consciously. You'll say it subconsciously and it's your action that will show the decision and that is if you're looking or aware. We are often on autopilot and don't even recognise the decisions we are making especially the subconscious ones. You didn't just "skip/miss/forget" that thing, you subconsciously made a decision and then ended up not doing it.

You won't read or will skip a 15 min read even wen it been Sent to you, not by the writer, but the Writer of Your life and Life, in answer to the many prayers you've been praying or sometimes haven't even thought to pray for or again you've "skipped" to pray.

That "long read" has been sent to lift your head up, lift your chin up, because it will lift up your soul, lift up your spirit, lift up & renew your mind, lift up your body and as a result lift up all the things the matter to you in your life that then stem from those areas-career, business, health, wealth, relationships-personal/romantic, marriage, parenting, fulfilment, purpose-something many are searching for but can't seem to find, eternal life- the place where Guaranteed! all your grief, sorrows, heartache, bills, life struggles including mental health challenges won't exist any more.

Don't run away from any " long" read you see. i am also speaking from experience. The powerful pieces I've read, some of them I nearly missed because i thought "eh! that's too long i'm not reading that" even my favourite movie, The Shack, I nearly missed it because I thought "2 hours! I'm not watching that!" If i could get £10K for each time I've watched it, I would be on the Forbes Rich list. I'm even going to watch it again today. We have a patience problem, which is a fruit problem. Fruit of the Holy Spirit.

Worst is we have patience for social media (how many hours did you spend on your phone last week, which app did you spend the most time on?), things that won't renew our mind, comfort our souls at the core, carry our sorrows when our sorrows want to carry us. In other words the things God is desperately wanting to help us with but we blatantly don't let him ... either way we don't give him a chance, because we want to gain peace from a 5 star holiday not a "long" read. We have expectations of where our joy or peace will come from, but it won't happen that way.

How is your peace right now?

How is your joy right now? Please note happiness and joy are 2 parallels. Joy is forever and unconditional of your circumstances and it comes only from God.

Most of all don't let your impatience or erroneous expectations sabotage you from receiving your encouragement, peace and joy, things that can't be bought or achieved with any externals/unhealthy coping mechanisms. Read that post, get your internal catered to and see what it will do for your LIFE! Most importantly, ask God "should I read this one?" Ultimately go with his answer.
