Although there’s a lot to be frustrated with and about its not an excuse to do nothing, it is not an excuse to give up, its not an excuse to stop trying to be better. You still matter and are called to be you. Don’t let people tell you who you are because you are God’s beautiful creation! That doesn’t mean you have a excuse to be cruel or judging. That knowing means you can rest in the peace of knowing you are abundantly loved just as you are. Little secret – God knows your thoughts. Your feelings, your joys. But also your sorrows and pains….
~Luke 12:7, Mathew 10:30~
“So why do I have to talk to God or Jesus then?” You ask. We don’t have to, we have the opertunity to. That is why Jesus came! Before Jesus there was no easy way to talk to God. Not since Adam and Eve sinned and were pushed out of the Garden. God knew we needed a way to talk to us.
That is why He sent Jesus. God knew we’d be ready to accept Christ Jesus in our lives. Jesus made the ultimate sacrifice for us so that we live and have eternal life. ~John 3:16 John 10:10
We as believers have a responsibility to be examples. Not just on our good days but also on our bad days. Its ok to let people see our vulnerable side. It shows we aren’t perfect either and also we too need help somtimes. Its also an exmple to show others how to get out of our funks or to show its ok to ask for help when we need. Being perfect is tiresome…… And being perfect is boring… At least in my opinion. We are not created equal for a reason. We are all uniquely awesome! Life would be boring if we were all the same. Don’t let fear, worry, stress, anxiety, or anything else keep you from others. Don’t let anything keep you from having a relationship with God, Jesus and the HolySpirit. We need that fellowship. Thats why God made eve for Adam.
~Jeramiah 29:11~
[ I have a lot more I want to add but if I don’t post it now it may be end up as one of the drafts I started and have not finished yet. 😅 ]
Oh my Father, where would I be if not for you? Who would I be with out you? I am all I am, because of you! “For God so loved the world, He gave His only, begotten (beloved), son (Jesus), so that whom soever believes in Him (Jesus) shall have everlasting life. ~John 3:16 Such a powerful confession of Love for us humans… That the ALL POWERFUL, ALMIGHTY, ALPHA and OMEGA, would give up his only son, his most beloved, so that we can be with Him for all eternity!! How could I say no to that??? How could you deny such a love…?? Easy!! I don’t deserve it…… I know I don’t I am imperfect… But he loves me because of our imperfections. Because we need Him, because He first loved us! For he loves us with unfailing love; the Lord’s faithfulness endures forever. Praise the Lord! ~Psalms 117:2.
Lets start with the Beginning, In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. ~John 1:1 Going from there, knowing he is the amazing God that created Earth, and us… And reading all about the creation of earth and all it’s being in first chapters of Genesis we see proof that what God says, Happens. And it is true. So if The ALMIGHTY God, says He loves me. Who am I to question it??? If I do, doesn’t that mean I am questioning who God is? And not trusting in Him?? Oh what a fool I would be not to trust in Him… It is easy for me to say but for you it may not be…
It is easy for me to say, because ALL I AM, is BECAUSE OF HIM!! Yes there is bad in the world, and bad things happen…. (read previous posts) But it is not God’s doing… He doesn’t cause Bad. He is a LOVING God…. I don’t know why he allows bad to happen sometimes, or maybe we tie his hands so He can’t help…. But with in every bad situation there is and can be Good. And it can be turned around… One of the things I question most is why does he take his children early sometimes… I knew an amazing woman who moved to heaven at a young age, She was an amazing example of a person overflowing with God’s love. And touched every one’s lives. Marget was such a blessing to this world and it shook mine when she moved. But I know it was for a reason. Though I do not know the reason, I trust He has a grand plan.
I have been through stuff I would not wish on any human, health wise, and emotionally. And I know, it could have been much worse, and others have suffered even greater pains. But I also know during those times, God was with me. His peace, His healing, His strength, His LOVE never left me. And yet they grew stronger. And because of All He is, and what I suffered, I grew to become the amazing woman that I am. I have had life experiences that I can use to help others, and because I know how God has been there the whole time, I can share that too… I’ll be honest I have been very mad at God for allowing the health issues. But because He is always there to Fix them, and He has, I can move forward. I had a stoke at age 25 It was my second one. This time I was aware of it. Because I worked as a Certified Nursing Assistant to a woman named Halie Brown. An Amazing woman, but she had many mini stokes and TIA’s (Transient Ischemic Attack) I knew what the symptoms were. So when I woke up form a nap one day I knew I was having a stoke. Not a TIA, I was very scared.I could not use my main hand like I should be able too.. I went to the hospital, but the check in nurse didn’t believe me and was trying to move me along. So I started praying out loud, yet I was loosing the ability to speak now… THEN she believed me and rushed me back. I cried out to God! “HEAL ME LORD!! I just started the book you told me to write, you can’t end it like this for me. I have dreams, Goals, wants…..” And He did!!! With in seven day I was completely back to normal. He healed me when I cried out, though it took a while. I was also able to witness to people and bless others stuck in the hospital.. I didn’t want the stoke, but good came out of it…… He used it to deepen my walk with Him and to Bless others… I am who I am because of these situations. I grew up faster then most children, and I have a different perspective of the world and of people then what is called normal, I call it a worldly way of thinking. I mean that nicely… I have found it utterly inpossinble for some one who does not know God to think of others easy, or to grasp what’s really important. Though there are some….. MOVING ON…
I read the book of Genesis Chapters 37-45http://bibleresources.bible.com/passagesearchresults.php?passage1=Genesis+37&passage2=&passage3=&passage4=&passage5=&version1=9&version2=0&version3=0&version4=0&version5=0&Submit.x=0&Submit.y=0 It is the story of Joseph and the Coat of Many colors… Which in it’s self has meaning… It is a good story about a man who trusts the Lord with all his heart, and though bad things keep befalling him, he keeps trusting in God. Thus God is able to bless him and return all he has lost… It is an excellent reminder God has a master plan! He made us! And as long as we trust in Him, and LET him Love us, we can become amazing people, and change the lives of those all around us for the better.. I wanna make the world a better place, I want to spread God’s Love, I want to be all HE, The all Mighty God, made me to be… Because I would be NOTHING, with out him. I would be lost, maybe a sex, drug addict, or dead….. But I am not Because I have him, I am LOVED, I have an amazing Family, and Wonderful friends!! I am so blessed…. And I want to help you see how blessed you are, and how amazing you are because of God’s Love, his care for you.. Please take a few minuests, hours, or days if you need to and re-think your life, what is important to you, and what God has done and has protected you from.. LET His Love pour out on you!!!
“I cried out to God and He responded with such love. I was strengthened and renewed… I was blind but now I can see… I was ill but am now whole!! All true to me. God is so good!! I am so blessed to be loved by such an amazing God, that he cares enough for me to fill my desires before I ask, and my needs are always taken care of… Thank you my Lord!!! My cup is full and running over!!”
