BE WHO YOU ARE...

A good friend sent this video to me. So thankful to God for rescuing me from all that could have been, I will live the rest of my days proclaiming His perfect love that cast out all fear. Ladies, be who God made you to be and do not wish to be something you are not.

If you are in a season of waiting and longing for your Prince to come, he will. Hold onto Jesus and just be still.



Little girl fourteen flipping through a magazine
Says she wants to look that way
But her hair isn't straight her body isn't fake
And she's always felt overweight

Well little girl fourteen I wish that you could see
That beauty is within your heart
And you were made with such care your skin your body and your hair
Are perfect just the way they are

There could never be a more beautiful you
Don't buy the lies disguises and hoops they make you jump through
You were made to fill a purpose that only you could do
So there could never be a more beautiful you

Little girl twenty-one the things that you've already done
Anything to get ahead
And you say you've got a man but he's got another plan
Only wants what you will do instead

Well little girl twenty-one you never thought that this would come
You starve yourself to play the part
But I can promise you there's a man whose love is true
And he'll treat you like the jewel you are

So turn around you're not too far
To back away be who you are
To change your path go another way
It's not too late you can be saved
If you feel depressed with past regrets
The shameful nights hope to forget
Can disappear they can all be washed away
By the one who's strong can right your wrongs
Can rid your fears dry all your tears
And change the way you look at this big world
He will take your dark distorted view
And with His light He will show you truth
And again you'll see through the eyes of a little girl

GOD HELP US TO RIGHTLY DISCERN

"He said therefore, A certain nobleman went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom, and to return.

And he called his ten servants, and delivered them ten pounds, and said unto them, Occupy till I come.

But his citizens hated him, and sent a message after him, saying, We will not have this man to reign over us."

Luke 19:12-14

A friend of mine called me today, reminding to be a good steward of the things that God has given me. He reminded me of this verse, "OCCUPY TILL I COME." I was telling him of some situations that have transpired lately that have stirred my thoughts to get rid of certain things in hopes of doing good for others. He said make sure you are praying and discerning correctly. Remember to OCCUPY until He comes. Be a good steward of what has given you. Sometimes it means sell what you have and give it away, and other times it means to use what you have to bless others.

MANY PARTS


Why do you suppose there are many parts to the body? Each part supplying what the others are lacking. Why is there so much lack? Could it be that others are mistaking their existance is to save up and make itself sole priority, and think that the other parts should survive on its own? Parts are just parts if they stand alone. Together they are a body, the body.

Sell all you own and give it away. Do not be proud to have savings or good amount in your bank account when your neighbor has been struggling to make ends meet with children, and no way to put food on the table.

If you have faith in God, you will give what you have and watch the Lord multiply your little bit or your lot and you will continually have more to give away. Man's ways are not God's way. Man's way: To each his own. God's way: Love your neighbor.
