Going Under the Knife.....

Some of us need to get surgery on ourselves, our spirit, our faith and relationship with GOD. For years I have conditioned myself to be the person I am today. Same attitude towards people, eat the same foods, watch the same shows, do the same things the same way at the same time and got the same d*mn results. You see I have always been a self sufficient, don't ask anybody for anything type of person, but the older I get and the more I see reality, I see that's not being real. Change is impossible until you are willing to change. Pride can be your biggest strength and your biggest weakness. The Bible says that “God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.” I realized, over these years I have not received God's full grace over my life because i have been too focused on trying maintain me and not being willing to God's reconstructive surgery. I have to be a patient while being patient as he digs deeper and deeper inside me, renewing, re-figuring, re-organizing the things that I tried to mask with duct tape and bubble gum. God performs surgery to put me back into my original state that I see as new. God spoke to me and said, "you have been destined to be great since I created you, but your pride blinded you from your greatness. I have tried to provide a way of escaping your selfishness. But you could not see. Now that you have humbled yourself, I have resuscitated your spirit, revived your faith and resurrected your life."

Humble yourselves, under the mighty hand of God so that at the proper time he will lift you up. 1 Peter 5:6

Are You Afraid of the Dark?

No one wants to go through dark times. You find yourself in a space that it is hard to overcome. It seems like there is one thing after another. Your friends and family left you. Your significant other disowns you. Your job relieves you. AND THE BILLS DON'T STOP. AND LIFE DOESN'T STOP. But I know one thing for certain and two things for sure, that we serve a God that is never failing. The LORD is my light and my salvation, so why should I be afraid? For God has not given us a spirit of fear. So as you go through your dark time, know that God continues to work even in the dark. In the darkness there is always light on the other side. As your world turns, you will start to see the guiding light. Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life. I declare and I decree on this day, even in the midst of your darkness, that God is with you. In the bible it says that God is light and in Him there is no darkness. So if you continue to let the God that lives in you shine, darkness can not exist. So you are not afraid of the dark because the Lord our God is with you.

Dear God,
Your light surrounds us,
Your love enfolds us,
Your power protects us,
Your presence watches over us,
Wherever we are, You Are.
Thank you Lord.
