Drops of Joy – A Devotional Journey of Healing — Update 15
Everybody messes up. We are fallen people striving to make it through this fallen world. Some of my mess-ups have been monumental and damaging to my relationships. Have you messed up that badly? Are you hiding the mistakes and bad choices in an effort to look perfect?
From the book:
“I used to think I could never make a mistake or trip up. I could not afford to misuse a word or not be able to think of the word I wanted say. I was so self-conscious that I would rather not speak than bumble. I would rather not try than try and mess up. I needed to please others so badly that I lost who I was. Not a good place to be. Actually, it is like a self-imposed prison of the worst kind. I have a dear friend who suggested I come out from behind the veil and allow myself to be me. How frightening to someone whose been hiding herself year after year. Don’t we all struggle in finding ways of hiding from ourselves and others?” (Taylor, Joy S., Drops of Joy – A Devotional Journey of Healing, 2026, Lily of the Valley Publishing Services, Indiana, p. 36)
Come and join me on this journey of God’s healing. May a piece of my past lead you to a better future through God’s intervention. This is a compilation of prose, poetry and prayer to bring you closer to the Lord. Read. Pray. Heal.
