As the Deer Panteth - Desire of Your Heart - A Transgender Story
I was invited to offer a reflection, this is what happened.
🦋🙏🏻🕯 May we open our mind to build new strength,
receive knowledge in our hearts
and wisdom in our body -
Help me to set aside my anxieties and allow me to be a channel
Allow me to speak what you would have me speak for the greater good
📜 Psalms 42 1-3 ESV
1 tAs a deer pants for flowing streams, so pants my soul for you, O God.
2 My soul thirsts for God, for the living God. When shall I come and appear before God?
3 My tears have been my food day and night, while they say to me all the day long, “Where is your God?"
As mentioned - Desire of Your Heart by Flamy Grant
