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!!!
