What Will It Take

What will it take for you to completely sell out to God? Yes, you are saved. Yes, you are a Christian, but you’re not completely sold out to Christ.

You have no problem jumping back to the old you. You say things like; don’t make me lose my religion or I’m going to do what I have to do and just ask for forgiveness later.

That’s not being totally sold out. That’s not having the characteristics of God. It shouldn’t take a tragedy or something horrible to happen to you for you to be completely sold out. The mere fact that you are covered by the blood of Jesus should spark a total commitment in you.

Only you know what it will take to be totally sold out to Christ.

Be blessed and continue to be a blessing.

Relax

In this busy world we live in, we have to take time to relax. I know that sounds foreign to many of you but you must take time away from everybody and everything.

When you relax, you become calmer and a better person to be around. When you don’t relax, honestly, no one likes you; they tolerate you. Do you really just want to be tolerated?

I know time is precious to us all but if you can’t take 10 minutes out of the day for yourself, you need to reevaluate some things in your life. Even Jesus said to rest on the sabbath day.

You do for everybody else, now do something for yourself. Read that book, cook that dish you’ve been waiting to try, take the nap that keeps escaping you, get that massage, etc… You get the point.

Today, is all about relaxing and taking care of yourself.

Be blessed and continue to be a blessing.

It’s Never Too Late

Do you go around with regret thinking it’s too late? Well while the blood is running warm in your body it’s never too late.

It’s never too late to say I’m sorry, unless the person dies before you get to apologize.
It’s never too late to go back to school, unless you don’t have the mental capacity to learn.
It’s never too late to try something you’ve never done before, unless you allow fear to paralyze you.
It’s never too late to love, unless you are dead set on being hateful.
Finally, it’s never too late to give your life to Christ while the blood is running warm in your veins, unless you are ok with being hell bound and serving satan throughout eternity.

Be blessed and continue to be a blessing.

Taking Chances

Are you afraid to take chances in life or are you satisfied with playing it safe?

There is no room for playing it safe when you’re a Christian. Jesus wants us to step out on faith. When you step out on faith, you’re saying I’m going against what’s normal by society standards; you’re taking chances.

Look at things this way; you took a chance and gave your life to Christ, not really knowing who he was. You took a chance on that person you’re dating or married and you didn’t know if they were crazy. You took a chance and went to school not even knowing if your were going to finish.

Step out on faith, take chances; you’ll never know how far you can go if you continue to play it safe.

Be blessed and continue to be blessing.

Do Your Own Dirty Work

Has someone ever pumped you up to talk down to or hurt someone else? Have you ever pumped someone up to do the same thing?

Have you ever considered that someone was trying to get you to do their dirty work? Or that you were trying to get someone else to do your dirty work?

Never let people suck you into their misery and don’t suck people into your misery. Make them do their own dirty work and you do your own dirty work.

As soon as someone starts saying; if I were you, please stop them and recognize what they are trying to do. Now if you ask them for their opinion then ok, but if they just start to offer their opinion; know that they don’t have your best interest at heart.

Be blessed and continue to be a blessing.

Your Portion

I was told the prisoners in Japan get served their food proportionate to their body size, and they don’t get three meals a day. I thought about that while I was eating, and said to myself; I would starve. I also thought about the word of God, when the bible tells us that God gives each of us a measure of faith.

Nobody gets the same portion. Before we were formed in our mothers womb, God knew how much faith we needed to start out with. He gave all of us enough faith, to believe his word, and to make an intelligent decision to follow him. That was included in our measure of faith or our portion.

We should never look at someone else’s portion and get mad when we see they have more than us. Because, we don’t know what they had to go through to get that portion, and we don’t know what they are going through to keep it.

Be satisfied with your portion and after you’ve been faithful over a few things God will make you ruler over many.

Be blessed and continue to be a blessing.

Resources

Do we tap into all of our resources that are available to us? Or, do we wait on someone else to tap into the resources and wait for them to tell us what to do?

Jesus is a great source and resource to have; however, do we really tap into him like we should. I find that many people want other people to pray for them. I also find that many people would prefer for others to live a godly life and they just reap the benefits from being around them.

We should use every resource available to us. There are resources for school, jobs, businesses and many other things we can think of. But, if we never use them what good are they? If we never try Jesus or call on him for ourselves, what good is he to us?

We need to learn how to tap into every source and resource that God has afforded us to have. We may just find ourselves better off than most.

One Accord

If we would learn to get on one accord we can get so much accomplished. We all have special gifts and when used together, they are more powerful.

I was running today and a lady passed me up. I didn’t get angry, I used her speed to help me out. I began to look at her feet, and I started lining my running pattern up with hers. Soon, when her left foot struck the ground, my left foot struck the ground. We were running on one accord; although, she was ahead of me. As long as we were on the same footing, I could see her even though we had a big gap in between us.

It doesn’t matter if someone is outpacing you on this journey; get on one accord with them and complete a work together.

Be blessed and continue to be a blessing.

When You’re Back On Your Own

Soon, I will be back taking care of everything on my own again. My auntie has been helping me out for the past six months since I travel so much. When the school calls, I have to go now, when one of the kids get sick, I will be tending to them again.

It’s rare that you can get a family member to put their lives on hold for you for six months and I have cherished everyday. It felt good to know when I took to the friendly skies my aunt had everything under control. Now her time has come to an end and my daughter has to step up to the plate.

I’ve groomed her for this moment. I continue to tell her she can do it. I know she can’t cook; so, when I leave again, there will be plenty of microwave food.

Just as I have prepared my daughter to look after things, God has prepared us for things. When you look back over your life and you remember the things you’ve been through, and you see the things you’re facing now; you can see that God was preparing you back then for things that are happening now.

The problem is, we don’t like the process that God takes us through; so we don’t look at our situations like God is preparing us for something.

So rather you’re on your own, about to be on your own, or you have someone you can really rely on; don’t despise the process that God is taking you through.

Be blessed and continue to be a blessing.

Know What’s Important

Everyone has something or someone that is important to them. Sometimes we mistreat or misuse those important people or things; or, we just neglect them.

I travel all over the world and every time I travel, I leave behind my kids and my grandson. These are the most important people in my life. I do my best to spend as much time with them as possible but let’s face it, they have lives of their own. Besides, they are so use to me leaving that when I’m home for a long period of time they want to to know if I still have a job.

My relationship with Jesus is also important to me. I carry our relationship wherever I go in the world. I don’t leave Jesus at home and tell him I’ll see you when I get back or I’ll FaceTime you like I do my kids. No! I let my light shine and I ask God to allow me to be a blessing to others.

Christians have it so backwards. We think we are suppose to only let our light shine in church, and only help out those that go to church or those people we know. In fact, we should look for someone that we don’t know on purpose and bless them.

Blessing someone is not always monetary; it can be spending time, saying a comforting word, watching someone’s kids who’s a stay at home parent just so they can gain their sanity back. That’s what’s important.

At least, that’s what’s important to me. Find out what’s important to you and do it.

Be blessed and continue to be a blessing.
