OK the year is almost coming to an end hmm mm,in the beginning of 2015 we wrote down a lot of things to achieve,we wrote down a lot of things to
cut down on,we wrote down the dates of our weddings like me, Lol but some of
these things didn’t come to pass, will you now say because they didn’t happen you give
up? No ways,For me this year i
had to do bridesmaids and chief bridesmaid for about 4 friends……….. hehe don’t mind me
tho I aint got 27 dresses yet(the movie) talk less of the aseobi(countless) . I believe God saves the best wine for the last , don’t feel depressed because He is the author and finisher of our faith.
I want to encourage you NOT to quit. WHEN we are tested we
go through a season of weaning. This is where God is weaning us from bad
emotions, bad relationships. Can you imagine yourself as dough? God
flattens you all the way out and then he takes a cookie cutter and presses down
really hard. (while you are screaming, OUCH--that HURTS! I like my wrong
attitudes, I like my stuff, I like this.. that hurts God!!)THEN, He
starts pulling off the dough around the cookie cutter,these include those
friendships, relationships, or anything that doesn't qualify to be in your
life.Lets make 2016 a year of the dough……. It's hard to lose friendships with
people that you care about, especially when their season is up in your life. No hard feelings at all because I know
this .."A Friend sticks closer than a brother." (Proverbs
18:24) you should understand that where
God is taking you in life, everybody
can't come. Long story short, everybody cannot be your friend & when
you start placing your value in some stuff, God will rip it from
under you. If you have to have anything more than HIM to be
satisfied, Satan will use it against you. Over and over again(rolls eyes).
So as you are going through this season of weaning, it may seem
like God forgot about you, or things aren't quite working
out, but I want you to know that God is behind the scenes, working out
everything for YOUR good. He is rebuilding your foundation. Most of us
kinda sorta trust God and HE wants your LIFE when you trust him. He
doesn't want to be your Sunday morning.He wants to infiltrate every
part of your being .. and then OUT of that flows godly relationships, the right
attitude on your job, pure trust in Him..love and everything else. So now that
your foundation is SET, when the winds & storms of life come, it won't"blow" your
house down. It will be able to withstand some things. So don't
resist Him. Is there an area in your life that you are playing tug-of-war with
God? Its time to sit down and write those things,pray on them and believe God
for the best.
Here are a few tips on what you should do
GO harder.
Whenever I get tested, I recognize that I need to
make sure that I'm fellow shipping with God. As soon as that connection is
secure, my entire outlook changes,the grass becomes a bit
greener.and it's not because anything has changed, but because my
perspective has changed. Spending time with God will give you HOPE in
hopeless situations. And you aren't spending time with God to get Him to
"do something for you"--for GOD wants your heart, all of it. He wants
you to be satisfied with Him, and Him alone. So let's all walk together. Let's
pass these tests. And when the pressure gets turned up..that means that you
are so close to your breakthrough. However, you must settle this trust
in your heart, that even if it doesn't happen, you TRUST God. The plans
that He has for your life are good! He loves you!!
Spend time with God?
The same way you would spend time with a friend. Just sit
there.. vent to Him, put on beautiful worship music (my favorite gospel artists
are Jesus Culture, Hillsong & Kari Jobe), journal to Him, go out to eat,
cook with Him, acknowledge HIM, read a bible you can understand (new living
translation, message bible, AMP). Make it fun! Go to a park, on a rooftop, in
your closet.
So, Smile, find joy in a hopeless world & keep your
eyes on heaven & not on earth. LIFE is but a vapor, you'll blink and end up
at the gates of heaven or hell. So don't get so distracted with the details of
life. Just serve Him instead & He'll make all things plain to you.
Compliments of the season..............
