When God opens the door we should not hesitate to run through it. We should not allow negative people around us at this time, because they will try their best to talk us into closing the door. Sometimes we are our own worst enemy, because we try to talk ourselves into closing the door. We say things like; I’m not worthy, why does God want to bless me, people are going to find out about my past, somebody else is so much better than me, etc. I understand God likes to use and bless messed up people. So since I’m messed up; Lord open as many doors as you like.

When calamity strikes people are quick to say; where was God. Funny how they never ask that when things are going well. Somehow, people have this notion that God only allows good things to happen. Either they don’t read the bible or they’re living in utopia. Unfortunately, it takes calamity to bring us in line with God. We are just like the children of Israel. When they got out of line, God allowed calamity to happen and they turned back to him. Well how much calamity has to keep happening before we turn back to God? Our young black boys are getting killed daily, people have no respect for the elderly, wars are popping up all over the world, police are getting away with murder, mothers are choosing men over their kids, same sex marriage is all over the land, shall I continue?

My mother often tells me that my kids have no roots, because I move around a lot for my job. My kids can only tell people where they were born. They cannot give people one specific place where they were raised; for they have been raised all over the world. When I think about that, I would like to say; I’m preparing them to not be attached to this life because this world is not our home. Many of us are so attached to what this world has to offer, that we refuse to see what God has to offer. Many of us pay rent or mortgage and are afraid to move from where we’re at because we can afford it, when Jesus says; in his father’s house there are many mansions. Paid Mansion vs. Rent/Mortgage payment? Don’t get so used to this home that you don’t even envision yourself in your home on high with the Father.

My grandson and I were talking and he asked; is tomorrow far away. I said; it depends on who you ask. If someone needs money today, then tomorrow is too far away. If someone hasn’t accepted Jesus as their Lord and Savior, then tomorrow may be too soon. All I know is; tomorrow is coming whether we’re dead or alive.

Stop worrying about your situation, God’s got it. Stop losing sleep at night about your problems, God’s got it. God is not like man, if he said it; you can believe it and his word won’t return unto him void.

Today my church was invited to a celebration of Black History with a Japanese church. We praised God so hard and radical it was electrifying. I think Americans play with God too much and take him for granted. This is the second country I’ve been to and have experienced a move of God like never before. The Japanese came in ready to worship, they didn’t need no pumping or priming; when they said the name Jesus the church went crazy. The last time I saw something like this was when I was in Afghanistan. The church was locked and we couldn’t get in, but the people wanted to praise God, so they took the hinges off the door so we could get into the church. We need to get that same hunger and thirst for God, and not be afraid of whose looking at us while we praise God. Where has our excitement gone for God? Since when did praising God become a burden and not an experience? Since when did coming to the sanctuary become an ordinary thing? When an where did we lose our fervor for God? We can only answer these questions for ourselves as individuals.

My grandson and I were talking and I told him my son loves him. He said; ugh, I don’t want that love, love is between a boy  and a girl. I said; that’s romantic love, but he loves you because you all are relatives. How many of us don’t want to love our relatives or love those that despitfully use us? How many of us want God to love us unconditionally but we have conditional love? Just like my 4yr old grandson only wants love from me; are we not showing the love of Jesus because of who the person is we have to love? God doesn’t pick and choose whom he loves. John 3:16 says; for God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son that whosoever believed in him shall not perish, but have everlasting life. That’s the love we need, we long for, and should have for our fellow sisters and brothers whether or not we’re related.

Is life really that bad or are you really that dramatic? If life is so bad for you, are you ready to die? Are you ready to stand before the judgment seat of God? Are you ready to give an account for every deed done in your body? If not, then I suggest you stop saying life is just so bad. You can say; this is the day that the Lord has made, I  will rejoice and be glad in it.

When I look back over my life and I see where God has brought me from; I won’t complain. When I look at what everyone else has and a small part of me wishes I had it; I won’t complain. God has been good to me even when I wasn’t good to myself. I may not have what everyone else have, but I got what God wants me to have. Complaining doesn’t change the situation, it just makes you look at the glass half empty. Instead of complaining I just thank God, because it could have been me with less than what I have. It could have been me pushing up daisies. It could have been in the worst of worst situations. But by the grace of God it wasn’t, so I won’t complain.

Sometimes there are no words to say but, Jesus. That’s enough. When we call on Jesus we are calling on everything we need. So call his name today.
