Before you head out!

 


What if you woke up with only the things you thanked God for?

I saw that post today and I realized that this question or statements similar to this, are normally overlooked. We as human beings like to be where we are appreciated and celebrated but not where we are just tolerated.

We get frustrated when we give things our all and sometimes even going the extra mile for persons who did not ask for our help but needed it! So, we get upset and decide to lessen what we do to teach them a lesson. 

So back to the question....What if you woke up with only the things you thanked God for? meaning, what if your life is a clear representation of the value you place on people and things? We may have eyes, ears, mouth, legs, hands, a heart or essentials like air or water. Now when it is taken away, we beg God for the miracles we read about in the Bible. People have disabilities due to accidents, birth defects, chronic illnesses and now COVID. All of these things affect what is thought of as 'little things' which have a massive impact on our standard of living.

Scripture tells us to "be thankful in everything, in all circumstances" (1 Thessalonians 5:18). Because God does not need anything else from us. 

So in this time of uncertainty let us be thankful. Share your gratitude with someone who probably was going to give up on life, share with your family and friends and let us spread love!


So before you leave this page, post something or things that you are grateful for...

    I am thankful that God is merciful and that His love for me is unconditional. If He wasn’t oh where would I be!

IT'S ALL ABOUT PERSPECTIVE

  In a world where image seems to be everything, we are bombarded by the perfect lives that are being lived by simple human beings. These images are positioned in front of the images that God has purposed for each of us. We listen to the noise instead of the whisper that we are great beyond measure and called by the Creator who shaped us.  A perfect example can be seen in the story of Moses. We all are familiar with this great man who was torn between two backgrounds but his purpose would have been initiated when he struck down those Egyptian soldiers in anger in order to avenge a Hebrew. Then and only then, did his isolation led him to have a direct encounter with God!  One perspective: He has an anger issue. Another perspective: The passion of this man, God said "I can use him!" Let us now reflect. We see ourselves as simple human beings, without thinking, these little so-called nuances I have can be the very reason God uses me for something great. Whether, in my home, ...
