This is grace

All I need is You, Lord. Your love is crashing over me. I cannot explain it, all I know is, "THIS IS GRACE."
"Let the morning bring me word of your unfailing love,
for I have put my trust in you. Show me the way I should go, for to you I entrust my life." Psalm 143:8 

I have no idea what I would do if you were not in my life. I look back and see where I've been. Your hand has always been on my life. When I look to the future, I cannot even imagine going there without You. I am grateful for all the people You placed in my life. So many of them have been removed for various reasons, but You know why. I am still grateful. 
I now recognize the different seasons and when it does change, I will still trust you Lord. 
Thank you, thank you, thank you.
You are my rock. You are my hiding place. You are my shelter. You are my protector. You are my counselor. 
I Love you Lord!

I want to boldly say; "Galatians 2:20 I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.

A New Day - Second Chance

You might feel as if you're stuck right there because of things you've done, things you might've said and now you feel you will never move forward. 
This is not God's plan. God wants us to do better in life. The reason why we feel the way we do is, we condemning ourselves. We never have something good to say about ourselves. We are good to everyone else, but never to ourselves, and that is reason we're stuck where we are. No amount of sin, words or deed will stop the move of God, but that move depends on you.

Every day we see that God again is merciful to us. They “never come to an end,” in fact, and every morning “they are new” because God’s faithfulness is great. His steadfast love will never cease, nor will His mercies for us.

Lamentations 3:21-23 “But this I call to mind, and therefore I have hope: The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.”

If God were not patient and long-suffering, none of us would survive. But God is patient toward us and doesn’t want anyone to perish apart from saving faith in Christ. God wants mankind to “reach repentance,” but they must first humble themselves because God is opposed to the proud and will extend His grace only to the humble (James 4:6).

Second Peter 3:9 “The Lord is not slow to fulfill his promise as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should reach repentance.”

God wants you to keep on coming to Him even though He knows what's on your mind. He is the God of every chance. He wants you well.

No one owes you

I am so sorry to tell you this, but no one owes you anything.
Looking at people around me and seeing the very same thing every single time, I'm praying for mindsets to be change. So many people believe that the whole world owes them something and when the whole world pays up, they will be satisfied. Well, I've got news for you. if you're not happy when one person gives in to your ridiculousness, you will never be pleased. 
If you were to meet a person who feels exactly like you do, do you think you owe that person?
SOMETHING TO PONDER ON RIGHT?

There is a saying in this world that goes, “You scratch my back and I’ll scratch yours.” What it means is that if you do something for me I will likewise do something for you. It’s all about receiving in return what you give to others. This is part of the wisdom of this world, but it is not the wisdom of God. 
When you do something for others, you may not see the blessing immediately, but it will happen. Just don't get upset and say someone owes you something. Whatever the outcome, the promise of the Lord contained in this scripture is that when you do unto others without expecting anything in return you will be blessed. Especially when this is given to those who are not able to repay and this is right to do.
This is an important and valuable reminder for us all. Let us all seek how we can do good to others and wait on God, and not feel the world owes us because we did good. 

"Do not neglect to do good and to share what you have, for such sacrifices are pleasing to God." Hebrews 13:16
"So whoever knows the right thing to do and fails to do it, for him it is sin." James 4:17

Who Are You Blaming?

blame

bleɪm/

verb

<![if !supportLists]>1.    <![endif]>1.

feel or declare that (someone or something) is responsible for a fault or wrong.

I blamed the enemy when everything has gone wrong a few weeks ago. I gave the enemy so much credit when I felt that internal pain.

Isn't this what we always do? Giving the enemy credit?

This was where I found myself when confusion came knocking. I turned the blame to God telling him to stop allowing the enemy to do this. – but then I sat still for a moment and thought, "could this pain be the enemy or could it be God?"

The moment I asked myself that question, God stepped in. He spoke to me through His word and confirmed that if there was someone to be blamed, it was God. This was a good blame. Believe it or not, the pain was gone. This is what God wants us to do. He wants us to discern what we're going through and not just say it's the enemy preventing you from going forward. There are different types of pain, especially when you can't even determine within yourself whether it's physical or spiritual.

When I asked to where this pain is really coming from, He was so eager to tell me. He said;

"Hypocrites! You know how to discern the appearance of the earth and of the sky, but how do you not know to discern this time?" Luke 12:56

WOW# What an awkward moment for me, but indeed a powerful lesson. He then said:, "When evening comes, you say, 'The weather will be fair, for the sky is red;' and in the morning, 'Today it will be stormy, for the sky is red and overcast.' You know how to interpret the appearance of the sky, but not the signs of the times!' Matthew 16:3

So when you are confused about that pain you suffering from, ask God to help you. OMW, He is so willing. Like me, we sit and sit, blame and blame, giving the enemy credit for something he enjoys. You know when a mother goes into labor and that pain is coming nonstop, that is the pain I was feeling. I felt like a mom in labor but when the contractions was over I gave to something new. Newness I've been praying for. Newness spoken over my life in the beginning of this year, and newness I had to start declaring a long time ago. I was the problem. I had to discern what God was doing.

So, that pain you might feeling right now….. (well, that's all I'm saying)

I will leave you with this. (believe it.)

"You will also decree a thing, and it will be established for you; And light will shine on your ways."
