We mourn and groan in these bodies longing to be in heaven. So much unnecessary hatred and envy in this world because we each think that we can be God and decide who gets what. Life is so much better when we stop trying to be you. When we stop trying to be right and just listen. Love is for everyone not just for some.
The World
Anyone else feel like they have been carrying the whole world on their shoulders? So many problems we hear about each day. Every day a new death, new shootings, new riots, new problems. Taking it all in, came make what comes out frightening. You start to have this anger or sadness that you can’t seem to control and don’t know where it came from. Whatever our ears hear or our eyes see becomes a part of us. What goes into to us comes out of us. If everything you take in is anger, hatred, division, gossip, murder, then what will spill out of you is just that. If you take in purity, joy, love, happiness, peace, then you will spill out just that. Our hearts, mind, ears, and eyes are fragile. So so so fragile. It only takes one lie to destroy us. It took one lie to Eve in the garden for humanity to be stuck with sin. She substituted God’s perfect word, for a lie which many are doing daily. Wake up and snap yourself out of it. You can easily wake up from a dream and a mind state of destruction which is a place you do not what to be. Let God fill you with peace. Let him take on the whole world, he created it and knows what is coming next. You will never be able to solve all the problems in the world. Let it go , give it back to God. Pray for your country. Let God handle the world.
Proverbs 4:23
Above all else, guard your heart,
for everything you do flows from it.
Doing Too Much
Anyone else have a hard time letting go of things or delegating things to other people? It almost seems as if there is a fear of losing control. Losing the power to control the outcome. Do we do that with God? Do we say we trust him but still try to figure out his every move. I try to delegate things to others but have a hard time trusting them if I know I can do it myself. How this problem does me no good. It does not help me to worry or be so concerned over things that I can’t control even though I want to. If I Iet this weight pass from me to God himself, he can make it how it was meant to be. I’ve been doing much lately and it has been a blessing but let’s not let this much be too much where it begins to be too much.
Enemy Lies
The enemy has pushed so many lies into the church that people who are wrong are the loudest. They are so over the top and pushing their evil messages out making them seem like they are perfect human beings. Being a Christian does not mean, you have unholy views about this life. This life is a gift from God. We have divided the church between politics and left each other with no unity. We talk about how much we love God and support other people’s sin because only God can judge. Yet he died for our sins not for us to stay in them. How can we let other people go to hell because we do not want to offend them? God has given us his truth and his word to speak it in love. If someone tells me they are in habitual sin, I’m not going to just say ‘good for you and I support what you are doing’. I know that sin leads to death. Death. How can you say you support someone killing themselves daily and being led further astray from God. Lie #1 all you need to be is a good person and you’ll go to heaven. Lie #2 God calls us to love everybody by showing them we are not against their sin. Lie #3 the Bible is old and we are living in new times.
Majority of people who call themselves Christian are NOT. Please do not be deceived by people who do not quote or live by scripture but only quote and live by the ways of the world.
Be Christian, Be Holy.
You can literally ruin your destiny by doing something God told you not to do. He told you this for a reason. Thankfully we have a gracious, forgiving and loving God. Whenever we walk on the path he directs us back to him. Let us be so swift to run back to him.
Process into the Promise
Everybody wants the promise but nobody wants to go through the process. The process is hard. Being refined by fire will burn, it’ll sting. Some days are easier than others when you don’t think about the pain. Think about how the process is making you stronger, making you better. After you have gone through the process, you are now shining like gold. Gold doesn’t just show up to the platform. You don’t just arrive at your destiny, you go through the journey. Life is not a fast food meal. Promises are not ready whenever you want it, they are ready whenever God wants it. Yes you have been told this before. Gods’ timing is perfect. It’s true. It is not a lie that God has your life all planned out. I mean he did know you before you were born and knit you together in your mother’s womb. You can trust him. You can trust knowing that the God who created all things, knows all things and has all things under control. You may be a mess. You may be felling like you hate feeling like how you feel. Tell yourself to trust in God and lay your worries at his feet. Let him give you rest. Let the refiner refine you into the spitting image of his son. The process isn’t easy but it is worth it. You’ll look back years from now and realize how far you’ve come. You’ll realize that you are who you’ve always wanted to be. You’ll realize that you never missed anything but received everything that God promised he’d give to you but not in the way you thought you’d receive it. You received it his way. His ways are higher , his ways are better. Release it. Release whatever you think you need right now because all you need is God himself. Let him fulfill you so you can keep pouring out all he has graced you with. The promise is right around the corner, it is much near than you think. Enjoy the process.
“In this you rejoice, though now for a little while, if necessary, you have been grieved by various trials, so that the tested genuineness of your faith—more precious than gold that perishes though it is tested by fire—may be found to result in praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ.” 1 Peter 1:6-7
Back To You
It’s easy to easy to give up on something you know God has said you’ll have one day but you don’t have it yet. Be inspired by something. Do not let your heart give up. You will see God’s promises prove true. Your life could change in an instant.
Sometimes life can be very difficult as it continues to give us difficulties. People can be insensitive and ruin our day, we get bored with the mundane and the routine, we can lose meaning in our daily activities. Thank God his mercies are new everyday. We need constant renewal of our minds and to challenge ourselves not to stay the same. Do something different, read a new book, watch a new movie, find a new song to sing, dance, laugh, do something to set your heart ablaze. Never let your soul fall asleep. Never let your soul feel like it is dead. Awaken it. Awaken your soul to the possibilities of this life.
God is not done yet, so that’s why you are still breathing. As much as you would like to go home to him and be free from all the worries of the world, you are still here to complete your purpose.
Yes you’ve been hurt but that is not a reason to not believe in love again or that you could be loved. Run back to the one who loves you more than you could ever imagine. Run back to Jesus today. You will not be the same.
Hard Days
Life isn’t also rainbows and happiness. Sometime you have to forgive yourself and move on. Just do better and trust God.
Is Dating Necessary?
What if God has a plan to save us from heartache? All the movies, music and TV we watch make us wish our lives were different. When you wait until God brings you the right one, you are choosing to not take matters into your own hands. Doing it our way usually ends in a mess. When you follow Jesus, you will never walk in darkness. His ways are higher, so we can never know why he puts us through what we go through but we can always know he is on our side. So why not wait until God brings you the right person to partner with for a purpose. He brought Eve to Adam when he knew it was time for him to have a partner. God knows when it is time. Until then, live your life to the fullest and get closer to your creator. Be happy and joyful now. Develop the habit of getting up each morning and praying. Make God the center of your whole life since he is the one who gave you life. Being in his presence is the fullness of joy. When you least expect it, God will bring that person you’ve dreamed of in your life. Let him choose. Dating so many different people can lead to pieces of your heart scattered all over the place. Why not have a complete and whole heart to give to the one God intends to unite you with. Is dating really necessary?
Peace
Let peace reign in your heart when you feel all hope is lost. Hang on to God’s every word. His word is alive and active. It can save you from the hurt and the pain you feel inside. One word from God can set your heart on fire. As tears roll down your face , know that he collects them all. He only speaks life so if you are hearing death, destruction, hopelessness, fear, doubt, anger, sadness… it is not from God. Tell those thoughts to flee in the name of Jesus. Resist them and they will flee. Declare that Jesus is Lord and God’s promises are true. Don’t be mad at the only one who can save you.
