Don't Take It Personal

The answer to one of my prayers God gave me was, "Don't take it personal, take the bitter with the sweet......."

Too often we look at situations from our subjective point of view and its not necessarily what is true or a clear assessment of the entire situation.

That's why its good to reveive Godly counsel and God is the best Counselor there is when you are seeking direction in your life.

Then there is also the bitter with the sweet....we always want to marvel at the sweet. We delight in the sweet but truth be told, we must have a better disposition than we possess when bitter moments come into our lives.

Bitter may be contributed to having to wait on getting that car you want. God already knows about it, in fact He is going to bless you with it. What you find yourself wrestling with is His timing.

A few times today, I even had to admit that I wrestle with God's timing concerning the promises He has for my life.

But they, they that wait on the Lord shall renew their strength, they shall mount up on wings like an eagle and soar. They shall walk and not be weary they shall run and never faint.

Where you are right now may not feel good, in fact the way you feel is far from anything comfortable but wait on Him. Trust in Him.

He will do what he promised!

In Jesus's name I pray,
Amen

Today, Ash Wednesday marks the beginning of the Lenten season. The lenten season is observed to better appreciate the death, and resurrection of Christ through self-examination, repentance, prayer, fasting, and self-denial. In addition, Ash Wednesday has another significant meaning for me. It was on this day, Ash Wednesday that the Lord brought me out of my induced coma in 2000, March 8th to be exact. Prior to that, I could only recall seeing my brother the night of the fire  in January who accompanied me in the ambulance while being transported to what was then called UMDNJ in Newark, NJ. On that Ash Wednesday, I can remember seeing both my grandmother and my mommy sitting in my hospital room. Grandma holding a can of Pepsi, and mommy doing something with my feet, lol. Probably clipping my toe nails. There is also that taste of chicken broth or soup I will never forget fed to me intravenously along with other fluids to sustain me while I was in a coma. Its been 16 years fr...

No Room For Excuses!

There was this young woman diagnosed with leukemia and she spent a considerable amount of time in cancer treatment facilities.   Everyone that came in contact with this young lady always referred to her as remarkable, and resilient. It baffled them how she was able to keep such a sweet spirit considering all she has endured.  The doctors and medical specialists couldn't understand it. When they would shake their heads, she opened her heart and then began to testify of God's goodness in the midst of the storm. When the doctors came in with some "bad news" she was quick to tell them about the hope she had in Christ Jesus. Again, they couldn't understand how she could believe in a God that allowed her to experience so much suffering. Politely she would explain that her suffering is not a death sentence or a reflection of God's lack of love for her. In her suffering she experiences the grace of God that others in her weakness may witness His strength. ...

Naked & Ashamed

"Naked & Ashamed!" Do you remember a time when you felt naked and ashamed? Perhaps you are feeling naked right now having discovered you are pregnant when others were unaware that you were even having premarital sex. What if you discovered you have a STD or the person you thought cared so much about you and who you surrendered your virginity to broke up with you. To heighten the issue, your ex has just told his boys or her girls about how you didn't live up to their expect ations in bed. Well, let me tell you a story about Adam & Eve who sinned against God and afterwards they experienced what we could call, "the walk of shame." So much so that they tried covering themselves up by making a covering with fig leaves and they hid from God. The Bible says, "Adam and his wife were both naked, and they felt no shame," Gen. 2:25. (NLT) "Naked" my friends and "felt no shame" are in perfect harmony; there are no barriers and no ...
