Current Situation vs Faith

“Thus the Lord has dealt with me, in the days when He looked on me, to take away my reproach among people.” Luke 1:25 NKJV

*God will rectify the thoughts of others by turning you into what they never dreamed you would be, or giving you something or someone they didn't think you would obtain. Don't listen to what others say, or what you currently have and see...Believe what God promises...

God Has NOT Forgotten

Then Naomi said to her daughter-in-law, “Blessed be he of the Lord , who has not forsaken His kindness to the living and the dead!” And Naomi said to her, “This man is a relation of ours, one of our close relatives.” Ruth 2:20 NKJV

*God has not forgotten about you...He sees, loves, and never forgets. No matter what we face, or how long we have to face it, God always has a plan of deliverance. Just keeping praying, listening, believing, and waiting and He will come. Don't let longevity and longsuffering cause you to veer from the course and go your own way. You will never know what you could have had by choosing for yourself...

Forgiving & Forgetting is a Beast

Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye. Colossians 3:13 KJV

*For me, the forgiving portion is not super hard because I have to forgive in order to move on. Now, I am not saying it always comes immediately, but I work on not holding a grudge so I can free my mind and not effect my health. The issue is with forgetting like God. It takes a while to forget...I remember the sneaky snake-like behavior and the unnecessary words, which at the least make me look at the person in a different light and distance myself. The whole "fool me once, shame on you, but fool my twice shame on me" thought process comes into play. However, imagine God's love...We show out and say and do things we shouldn't all the time, yet He never changes and loves us through it. It makes me not want to do anything to hurt Him because of that unconditional love. All we can do is grow to be more like Him...

Darkness 2 Light

You are all sons of light and sons of the day. We are not of the night nor of darkness. I Thessalonians 5:5 NKJV

*My heart aches to see how the enemy has tricked some people into believing they are stuck in darkness...How they believe there is no other way, but God is the way, the truth, and the light...You always have an option, and a way out. I don't care if you've hit rock bottom...There is no where to go, but up in God. Read His word, and ask Him how to apply it to your life and situation.  If I can go from homeless to being well, so can you even in other areas. We all have been sucked into lies, and tried it our way. Why not try it His way???

Trusting God 2 Avoid A Temper

Let no corrupt word proceed out of your mouth, but what is good for necessary edification, that it may impart grace to the hearers. Ephesians 4:29 NKJV

*When I tell you that I literally have to practice this daily,  I mean I actively have to stop myself from thinking things...Particularly when I see foolishness, racism, or a person who just needs a dose of reality. My flesh wants to just let them have it...I mean just give them a piece, especially racists. It is always the folks who shouldn't be talking about ANYONE who have the most to say...Yet, God tells me "Now, what is that going to accomplish, baby girl. All you're doing is raising your blood pressure, and you are two seconds away from creating conflict." If I didn't have God, I would be in trouble..My mind, temper, and this heart that feels sorry for others is only because of God. It is rough when you feel like you are the only one who gets it or sees injustice, but it is then that you lean on God and not act on emotions.

Setting the Stage for Love

We love Him because He first loved us. I John 4:19 NKJV

*To receive love,  you must show it...Set the tone, and show love I'm order to set the stage of creating peace and obtaining love. Even if you don't receive it from a likely source, your sowing sets the stage to receive it regardless of the source. If you sow it, you will reap it. This chapter is also the standard of God's love. As humans, we will not be perfect like this love, but we can strive to be like Christ.
