Lord I Ain’t Trying To Hear That

Has God ever told you to do something and you didn’t really want to do it ? You might didn’t say Lord I ain’t trying hear that but your actions said it.

Did he tell you to forgive someone that did you wrong and you said, Lord, I ain’t trying to hear that?

Did he tell you to bless someone that he know you don’t like and you said, Lord, I ain’t trying to hear that?

Did he tell you to cook for a spouse that speaks horrible to you and you said, Lord, I really ain’t trying to hear that?

Did he tell you not to give up on that wayward child after you know you’ve done the best you can do and this child has cost you much and caused you so much heart ache and pain and you said, Lord, I ain’t trying to hear that?

Well hear this says The Lord:
If you don’t forgive men of their trespasses then I won’t forgive you.

Bless those that curse you and pray for them that despitefully use you.

If thine enemy be hungry, give him bread to eat; and if he be thirsty, give him water to drink; for thou shalt reap coals of fire upon his head, and The Lord shall reward thee.

Children are a gift from The Lord; they are a reward from him.

You might be saying I ain’t trying to hear that. But the day you hear the Lords voice harden not your heart.

Be blessed and continue to be a blessing.

It’s Not Your Turn

Why do we find it hard to celebrate others when it’s not our turn? It seems as if we always have something negative to say when the spotlight is on someone else.

We need to learn how to be happy for others when it’s not our turn. We need to help make others moments so enjoyable and memorable that every ounce of jealousy leaves our thoughts, hearts, and souls.

When it’s your turn you want people to celebrate you, so give them that same courtesy.

Have you ever thought about why it takes so long for your turn to come? Could it be your attitude and God is just saying you are not ready for your turn so get to the back of the line and wait? Could it be you’re jealous? Could it be you just don’t want to see anyone else happy?

Only you know why the way you are.

Be blessed and continue to be a blessing.

I Would, But

How many of us have dreams and visions locked up on the inside of us but our fears have held us back?

The word but has robbed so many of us of our blessings and our destiny and we have become satisfied with it.

Well from this day forward we have to replace the word but with the word and.

Instead of saying I would go to school but; say I am going to school and I’m going to finish.

Instead of saying I would go to church but; say I’m going to church and I’m going to receive everything that God has for me.

Instead of saying I would pursue my dreams but; say I’m pursuing my dreams and nothing is going to stop me.

The only but that should be in our mouths are the but God.

I would have lost my mind, but God, said he’d keep me in perfect peace if I kept my mind stayed on him.

I almost let go and threw in the towel, but God, stepped in right on time and saved me.

I thought I wasn’t going to make it, but God, said you shall live and not die.

You see when you change one word your whole situation changes.

Be blessed and continue to be a blessing.

Open Your Mouth

Have you ever been going through something but you wouldn’t tell anyone? You thought that they were mind readers and should have known what you were experiencing. You found yourself getting mad at them because they didn’t come to your rescue.

Did you ever think that not everyone has the spirit of discernment and now you have found out that a closed mouth don’t get fed?

Even Jesus told us to ask and it shall be given. So if we have to open our mouth and ask him what makes us think we don’t have to ask for help from other human beings.

If pride is keeping you from opening your mouth and your family is hungry, tell them to get full off your pride.

If pride is keeping you from opening your mouth and you are about to be homeless, tell yourself pride will be my shelter.

There are times when you should be quiet but then there are times when you need to open your mouth.

Be blessed and continue to be a blessing.

Hurry Up!

How many times do you find yourself telling someone to hurry up? They know what time you told them to be ready and yet they wait to the last minute to get ready.

First you get mad, then you think about leaving them or you do leave them to show them that when you say be ready that means be ready.

Well we need to hurry up and get ready because God said he’s coming back but he didn’t tell us when. However, he did say in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye. That could be anytime now.

Rest assure, when he comes back he won’t get mad at you if you’re not ready, he won’t give you another hour, minute or second to get ready. He will just leave you.

That is one ride you don’t want to miss. Your airfare has already been paid. So hurry up and get right with God. Confess your sins, repent, confess that Jesus Christ is Lord and live each day like you belong to him.

Be blessed and continue to be a blessing.

Re-gifting God

Have you ever received a gift that you didn’t like or want? Or perhaps, you just didn’t have a use for it. Instead of being rude and saying that you didn’t want it or like it, you decided that you would put it in another box and wrap it pretty to give to someone else. This is called re-gifting.

It cost you nothing and maybe you made someone else happy with something you didn’t want.

See in the bible many people didn’t want the gift that God presented to them so he was re-gifted to the Gentiles and they seized the opportunity.

Today many of us are re-gifting God because we don’t want to abide by his ways. We feel we have no use for him right now since nothing too bad has happened lately so we put him in a box, make it look pretty and give it to someone else.

We don’t care that the gift cost more than we could ever afford, and that careful thought went into this gift, and since we didn’t pay for it we have no problem letting it go.

The next time God offers himself to you as a gift think twice before you just give him away.

Be blessed and continue to be a blessing.

I’m Down but Not Out

Looking at the current situation you are facing one would think you should just throw in the towel. But something on the inside is telling you don’t give up.

When people are on the outside looking in they always have advice on what you should or shouldn’t do.

Tell yourself I may be down but not out. I have Jesus on my side and he wouldn’t put more on me than I can bear.

Don’t you start having a pity party or allow someone else to make you have a pity party.

When pity tries to creep in turn it into praise

When sorrow tries to creep in turn it into singing

When hopelessness tries to creep in turn it into healing

When depression tries to creep in turn it into dancing

This will cause the enemy to look at you and say I thought you were down for the count and you can reply I’m down but not out. There’s more than meet the eye when you look at me.

Be blessed and continue to be a blessing.

They said vs. God said

They said you wouldn’t make it.
God said you’re more than a conqueror.

They said to throw in the towel.
God said to run on and see what the ends going to be.

They said it’s a dead situation.
God said I am the resurrection.

They said it won’t work.
God said all things are possible.

They said bye and left you lonely.
God said I’ll never leave you nor forsake you.

Instead of listening to they, let’s listen to God. For, do we even know who they are? We always know who God is.

Be blessed and continue to be a blessing.

Let Your Light Shine

Has someone ever pushed your buttons and you were ready to let them have it, but instead you decided to do something that you’ve never done before; be quiet and kept it moving?

Has someone ever made you want to curse and the words were right on the tip of your tongue but instead of cursing you began to laugh?

Has someone ever challenged your salvation and told you that you were not really saved and that you are trying to be some holy roller and you just smiled?

When you let your light shine it doesn’t always require you to respond verbally to others behavior. It just requires you to shine.

Stop trying to respond the way the world would have you to and respond the way Jesus did.

Sometimes He never said a word.

Be blessed and continue to be a blessing.
