What God has for me, is for me.

We are conditioned to hold each other down.  I find it to be amazing how foreign real kindness and sincerity is to people.  If someone wants to give you something, you assume they are trying to sabotage you. You scrutinize the gift as if it was tainted or poisoned.  Likewise, when your neighbors and people around you succeed, we are jealous and envious.  We spew venom of hatred from our lips toward that person because we are sullen that we have not received.  We are glowering because we are living a life of poverty, lack, restriction and emptiness.  We are like crabs in a barrel, clinging to the heels of any one who looks promising.  You are blocking your own blessing by hoarding around all that negativity and scum. 

I am going to free your mind of that mentality by revealing the absurdity behind jealousy and envy.  Look at it this way…Everything that God has for you, is for you.  There isn’t anything you can do to mess it up or take it away.  No matter what anyone else receives in life, God has a special box of treasures for you.  It’s pointless to be jealous or wish for the treasures of another when you have your own to retrieve.  We tend to think that when someone prospers, there is less available for us.  We feel like we are missing out.  We see limits and boundaries in our minds.  Well, let’s get this straight once and for all. The world is not going to run out of things for you to indulge in.  There is no lack.  There are no limits.  All of those parameters are false constraints of the mind, set in place by the enemy so you never receive God’s best for your life.

We are all surrounding the Christmas tree waiting for a gift with our name on it.  Just because it isn’t your turn doesn’t mean there aren’t plenty gifts waiting for you.  So what that Jane got a pony.  Why be mad at Jane for getting what she wanted?  You need to focus on the things that you want.  A pony isn’t going to make you happy.  That is why it’s Jane’s.  You can’t gain any pleasure from obtaining another person’s treasures, so neither should you amass bitterness just because they are receiving.  Take faith, you have presents with your name on them specifically.  Treasures that will give you more happiness than anything you could ever have obtained in this lifetime.  That is because they are specially made to make you happy.  See friends, there is really no point to ever be jealous or envious of another.  You are special, and you have special desires and pleasures.  Make no mistake, God wants to fulfill every desire you have. So, stop craving someone else’s vanilla, when you really want your own chocolate.

All that I need, I already have

  So, what are the things that are necessary?   Because I refuse to do busy work.   Many have fallen prey to the belief that as long as I’m busy doing things, I’m actually getting things done.   Not true.   And painfully so because most of us live on the brink of exhaustion.   To think that more than half the things we spend time doing is a waste of time and getting us no closer to our goals is heart wrenching.   My sleep is so sweet when I hit my pillow because I feel like I’ve done well, the things God has desired me to do.   And when I was a poor steward of my time, I toss and turn with a to-do list in my mind of things I still need to do. I pray, “Lord, turn my eyes away from worthless things and preserve my life according to your Word.” Psalm 119:37. Why?   Because it’s so easy to lose hours on social media, reality tv, daydreaming, starting and quitting projects before they’re completed, etc.   Anything can be busy work. ...

Stop Expecting the blessing to be the Blesser

For lack of a better word and to prevent a miscommunication of the main concept, Blesser : refers to the Almighty God – Creator of Heaven and Earth; omnipotent and ever-present and powerful Being.   Blessing : refers to everything and every one God has ever placed in your life to increase your value and to provide you fulfillment.     Blessings are all around us. They take many shapes and forms.   Blessings flow from the Blesser.   Your spouse is a blessing.   Yet sometimes you may expect him to be your God.   You may be expecting your spouse to perform duties only God can perform for you.   You may be expecting your spouse to fill a void, an emptiness you feel when only the Blesser can satisfy those requests.   There is no wonder why there is so much strain on our relationships.   Do not be confused on where your provisions are truly coming from.   Your job is a blessing.   Whatever way you are being provided for economica...

He who has ears let him hear

I can't help but think that I'm the seed that fell among the thorns, but the worries and cares of this world, and the chasing after wealth and position choked the good life out of the seed that was planted in me. Let me explain:  In Matthew 13, Jesus is speaking in parables about the sower who plants his seed along the path, some of it gets eaten up by birds, some of it falls on rocky places and does not take root so it doesn't survive.  Some of it falls among the thorns and gets choked by those thorns and some fall on good soil, takes root, and produces a crop.  He goes on in verse 22 to explain the parable further. Can I be honest here?  I feel like there is so much more I could be doing for God.  I know He doesn't require much from us, and that's why I think we are so easily able to dismiss the great commission, but out of the love in my heart, I want to do more for Him.  Listen, it's not necessarily what we can do for God when we give him space in o...
