You're On His Mind

Welllll, not his (Idris Elba) mind...but HIS (God's) mind....yes I did use a sex symbol to get your attention...ohhhh well, you'll be okay...but I do need to get a point across..


*clears throat* I wouldn't mind being on Idris Elba's mind...i'm just saying. Annnnyway, before I lose some people...It does something to me to know that I'm on someone's mind...that good feeling rushes over me, whether it's my Mama or any other family member, or my friends, or just someone who thought enough to think of me and say or do something. And my, my, my if it's that special someone and he actually verbalizes it or gives me a gift, or does soemthing for me, well my whole day gets better. That foolishness that's been going on, I forget about it.  You know that you do too...he or she sends you that special text message, or a quick phone call, flowers, a gift or whatever it is to let you know that you're on they're mind. Butterflies stir up in us ladies and men, well your egos bloooowww up!


But then they fail you or they forget about you, or they're not consistent, or they're too busy caught up with what's going on with on themselves. They don't display any form of thoughtfulness or concern, whether intentionally, or unintentionally, then that's when all hell breaks loose. Sometimes we keep it bottled up and sometimes we goooo off...I'll take the latter for $500 Alex (excuse me, but He's still working on me...a deep, gentle work)


We're always on God's mind, always! And to sit and think that I'm on HIS mind does something way more than just cause butterflies in my stomach or a smile on my face. The one person that I've turned my back on, dishonored, disrepected, disobeyed, not even thought about on soooo many occasions...I'm on HIS mind! Unbelievable? Almost...but Psalms 139: 17-18, God, your thoughts are precious to me. They are so many!  If I could count them, they would be more than all the grains of sand. When I wake up, I am still with you. He thinks about us so much, until His thoughts can't be numbered. How do you know He thought about you? He woke you up this morning.


I'm sure the next thought for some is "He woke me up, but everything is going wrong." Jeremiah 29:11 says "For I know the thoughts and plans that I have for you, says the Lord, thoughts and plans for welfare and peace and not for evil, to give you hope in your final outcome....Not only does he has thoughts about you but he has plans for you...


No good father wants their child to suffer...are there lessons to be taught? Yes, but His thoughts are always that you become your best, that you have the best...you have to let go (lose control) and trust Him on this...


And then for some, you know he has your best interest at heart, but you just don't see what you've been looking for...yet Psalms 138:8 The Lord will perfect that which concerneth me: thy mercy, O Lord, endureth for ever: forsake not the works of thine own hands. He is thinking about you and working on everything that concerns you...everything...the word concerned is really what hits me...because it's one thing to think about me (my enemies can think about me) but it's "a whole nother" thing to know that God is concerned about you me...


You're on HIS mind, and when HE thinks about you, HE has plans for your peace and for your good, and then HE works it all out! Now that REAL LOVE! (Check out the link at the end of this psot for addtional information on being on God's mind)
