Has your intensity been blessed or rejected? Our culture has many dishonoring labels for intense people. Type A personalities. Driven. Hyperactive. There certainly is intensity that come from woundedness and is unhealthy and inappropriate. But have you considered how intense God is! And that we are made in His image? Have you pondered that there may be a God-given intensity in you that is excellent, right, needful and honored by God?

Every culture needs some intense people to help them advance through exploration and conquest. It also needs some wise people to build for the future. And it will always need some compassionate people to restore the wounded.

So friend, there is room for intense people like you in the Kingdom of God. If you have an intensity about you that craves expression, I invite you to receive into your spirit these blessings. They are teaching blessings. You will learn many things about how to handle your intensity, but foundationally, my purpose is to bless the gift of God in you: His intensity, manifested in your life.

I am intense. My intensity has been reviled countless times. I tried for many years to be the mellow, measured person people wanted me to be. I could not. I found immense release and restoration in recording these blessings for you.

May our intense tribe increase, and may our intensity be expressed in Gods ways.
