Guard YOUR Heart! Part 2 of He Told YYYY-OOOOO-UUUUUU!!!

Just about everyone I know has had their heart broken at some point, and as far as the others go that say they haven't....welll, I'm thinking they're probably in denial. A broken heart does not discriminate based on age, gender, race and so on and it doesn't feel good...AT ALL! There are times when it can't be avoided, such as the death of a loved one. But there are other times, when it could have been avoided...it was your fault! Yessss, your fault (my fault too!). Up until about a couple of weeks, I blamed everyone else for the times when my heart has been broken...****He did this, she did this, he said that, she said that, he wrong for that, she didn't have to do that, and to think I trusted her, I don't have nothing for him anymore...he can go to......you get what I mean**** Well guess what?? It was not THEIR responsibility to guard my heart! (Whew! That was hard to say!) Were they wrong, especially if it was intentional? Yes! But that does excuse, overlook, cover up the fact that I did not do what I was told to do? No! I was told to guard MY heart! In other words I put myself in a position that caused my heart to be hurt. God gave you charge over your own heart in Proverbs 4:23 Guard your heart above all else for it determines the course of your life (NLT)...The Message Bible says "that's where life starts".... Of course this was written by David, but it was inspired by God so at the end of the day, He(God) told YYYY-OOOO-UUUUU!!! If you don't get anything else from this, please get this: Your heart is precious and of great value because it determines how your life is going to play out...it determines the path you are going to take in life...in my mind, it's more important than your DNA and DNA is what makes your overall, complete, unique being...but it's still more important! It's of more value than all of your possessions put together....billions of dollars cannot fix a broken heart...I don't care what anyone says......Soooo why would YOU let people play with YOUR heart???  Stop handing it over, make up your mind to stop letting any and everyone into your heart...(this is not a voucher to allow you to be cold hearted...I'll deal with that at another time)....Look at yourself, look at your family, look at your friends, look at your co-workers, look at your church members...how many people can you identify that are either depressed, lonely, sad, hurt, miserable, and/or unhappy?? I can bet you that the source of the majority of that is the heart and it's issues! And for that reason, that's one of the reasons why we encounter a lot of emotional problems and emotional problems lead to so many other problems...Where do you start in resolving these issues and getting on a better path (we can all afford to have a better path) First, give your heart to God, and then guard it (YOU, not Mama, not Daddy, not your best friend, not your spouse, not your guy or girl...YOU guard YOUR heart) And for those of you who are in the midst of experiencing a broken heart, or have never healed from having your heart broken in the past...here is your comfort: Psalms 34:18 The Lord is close to the brokenhearted;  he rescues those whose spirits are crushed.....Now to know that YOU messed up (yeah, I said messed up) and put your heart in a position to be broken and God sees that but yet He still will run to you and rescue you and stay with you lets you know that YOU and YOUR heart are of extremely great value in His eyes, no number can measure that value...for that YOU should want to guard it and only allow those that He tells YOU are worthy of experiencing what your heart has to offer to enter into that experience....Remember: He told YYYYY-OOOOO-UUUU!!!

He Told YYYY-OOOO-UUUUU!!! (PART 1)

Hey everyone!!! I'm baaaaaackkkk! Yep, I was MIA for minute...had to regroup for the last 2 months... okay let me just tell the truth...I've been lazy, lacking motivation, frustrated, throwing temper tantrums, and all of that good stuff! But guess what none of that changed my situation! Sooo I've had to just get over it and keep my eyes open and wait with an expectancy for this "thang" to change...Anyway, I'm back doing what I'm supposed to be doing...blogging! Let me thank you in advance for reading and supporting this blog!


This is Part 1 of  a series about what God told you to do...we get soooo caught up in what he told others and what they are doing to us and against us, what situations and circumstances are rising against us....Hellllloooo? Didn't he already tell you that things, people, situations, the enemy would come against you???? I could find many scriptures that tells you what's going to happen and how to handle it but I'll go for this one right now: Luke 6:27-28 But I say unto you which hear, Love your enemies, do good to them which hate you, Bless them that curse you, and pray for them which desspitefully use you....so let me ask you this why are you shocked by the "haters" especially after you've had them for years...why are you constantly letting the people that always have something to say about you disturb your peace...why when you know that people are doing you wrong, that's all your mind can concentrate on (these are questions I had to ask myself) He told you what to do, so do what He told you to do and watch Him work it out.....and when you find your mind wandering and peace being disturbed and anger rising up....you betta start meditating on the one thing He told you to do first and above everything else LOVE!!!!!!!!!  Let me take a pause here before I get deep (really it's simple, I just like sounding deep, lol) and tell you a little bit about me: I used to pride myself on being the Queen of walking yo ___________ down(use your imagination...it wasn't necessarily a cuss word) if you did me wrong! You know that blank could be a cuss word or just a negative description of the person!   Let me just tell YOU this: no matter what "they" do God told YOU to love! He told YYYYY-OOOOOOO-UUUUUU!! He gave YOU the charge to keep not matter what "they" do or say! I know it's easy to dislike, not be able to stand or tolerate, or even hate a person!!! I know you wanna vent...I know you wanna talk about them! I know you wanna slap the taste out of their mouth because they hurt you or they did something and thought they got away with it...but when you get through rolling your eyes, talking your smack, huffing, puffing, cussing, and all of that,,,,,the charge, the command, the instruction was still given to YOU!!! He told YOU to LOVE and at end of the day he's going to hold YOU accountable...YOUR blessings depend on it not THEIRS!!! And let me make this clear: It's okay to vent, you're human! You can talk, you can say what's on your mind but be careful about how you say it, where you say it, who say it to, and the motive behind what you're saying ...it's okay to be angry, as long as you don't sin in your anger...but it not okay to be in violation of the commandment to love and know you're in violation and to continue on  Bottom line: Stop all that talking and thinking and start handling the charge/commandment he gave YOU....it belongs to YOU...it defines YOU...it shows people and Him where YOU really are....it was a most precious gift given to YOU on the cross before YOU even knew YOU.....LOVE!!! And it's not how the world defines it, it's defined in The Message Bible in 1 Corinthians 13 as the following: Love never gives up. Love cares more for others than for self. Love doesn't want what it doesn't have.  Love doesn't strut, Doesn't have a swelled head,  Doesn't force itself on others,   Isn't always "me first,"  Doesn't fly off the handle, Doesn't keep score of the sins of others, Doesn't revel when others grovel, Takes pleasure in the flowering of truth,    Puts up with anything, Trusts God always, Always looks for the best,  Never looks back,    But keeps going to the end.  




Here's the disclaimer: Exercise wisdom, he didn't tell you to be a fool...in actuality love (true love, the love that God wants you to have, it possesses wisdom)  Enjoy your weekend and take joy in knowing He loved you so much that He died just for YOU!!!
