I saw:

Love
Connection
Money

What does it mean Shittim?
Oh boy, let me take this before Him- We, and others here, have mentioned our singleness, could love be a longing for you or it could be your love of the Lord is a preeminent identifier for you of your right standing with Him?
Connection with Him and too Him? I know that to be true for you.
The money thing, I recall that was the first that came up for me, do I have an anxiousness about money? If we do He will grow us in the confidence that He is our Source.
What do think Miss Ruby, does that resonate ?

I don't know Shittim. Will be something I need to think upon.

I know with dreams I have asked He bring them to remembrance so I can ask His meaning for me, he always does in the perfect timing for it.
Just as He makes words in scripture to pop out for us individually as He speaks to us through His word, this is another way He can encounter us to come back to Him for His individual meaning for each of us, I "think" that is what we mean by "think" since we are spirit filled, we take it all before Him for His meaning to us.
bless you

I'm with Subhumanoidal on this one.

It reminds me of a dry-erase magnet a friend of mine brought home from the psychologist. You could circle which mood you were in at the moment. There were no negative ones though, only a lot of restatements of positive ones. I would have been irritated, but irritation was not one of the options on the board. :-/

The carnal worlds "psychology" is a great way to give God second or lower place in our lives, not consistent with the Christian walk, no wonder it produces what it produces.
The Spirit filled Christian does nor lean on their own understanding but in all ways acknowledges Him, and He then makes the path straight.
Carnal Christians lean on their own understanding, hopefully as we continue to allow Him to conform us to His image, we will all leave that behind as we have all started there as carnal, or sense ruled, and conformed to this world.
This exercise seems to allow us to see how sense ruled, or how Spirit ruled we are.

The first 3 symbols "JGL" might stand for "Jesus Gives Life."

A very dear Spirit filled believer shared this with me, the Lord will be with us in all things, if we allow, the fruit of your responses is telling, many of you brothers and sisters are walking in His peace and in harmony with Him, some who lean on their own understanding and don't take everything to the Lord first, as we are required to, fail to walk in the Love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, etc. He died to bring us.

Stones of Fire-
"Lessons, gratitude, money"
This makes sense to me about you, you have stated and I believe you, that you walk in relationship with Him and as a result He constantly gives lessons to us as we are being conformed to the image of the Son, your relationship stems from the gratitude you have for His gift of salvation and relationship, I don't know about the money part, I know He provides for His own.
Magenta- I forget what my first three were, I will try it again.
Blessings
Thank you Shittim.

Newspaper horoscope mentality if you read anything real into this. Take whatever you get and you can find a way to apply it. Entirely vague.
Also I find the irony of putting down psychology yet opening the thread by using psychology as the basis for the words seen.
No basis for the idea that the first words you see have any significant meaning. It's neither psychological nor biblical to make that claim.
This is why Christian's are so easily mislead. All you have to do is claim something is spiritually based, and proof or not, believers will swarm to it and treat it as fact. And if you disagree and don't accept it then you're turned against.
London used a similar approach when more people were against all the cameras. They made it so if you were against all the cameras you were pro-crime. So citizens began policing themselves and anyone who spoke out against the cameras was labeled as supporting crime. The same people that had been against it previously.

Being you obviously is a very painful experience, you have our sympathy, if you don't turn to Christ you will likely end up earning others pity.
best wishes

I have to agree with Subhumanoidal, shittim. (And whenever he and I both agree on something...) There's not so much Spirit in that, but a lot of pop psychology and nebulous junk that anybody could make apply to them.

And you just proved his point by disparaging him because he disagreed with you. It's almost like you didn't even read the part where he said "All you have to do is claim something is spiritually based, and proof or not, believers will swarm to it and treat it as fact. And if you disagree and don't accept it then you're turned against."
