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.

You Reap What You Sow

If you are lacking in any area of your life it is probably the area where you have been most selfish.   Remember, you must give in order to receive - and in that order. We must stop being so selfish, lest we block our own blessing. You can neither take from a clenched fist, nor deposit anything in it.       When we ask God for wisdom, patience, love, forgiveness, mercy or kindness, what we are really doing is asking God to give us opportunities where we can seek wisdom, have patience, show kindness, give love, offer forgiveness, be merciful and kind to others.   At that point, it is up to us to rise to the occasion and exhibit these characteristics.   We are a work in progress.   I asked the Lord for a triple portion of faith.   I want to believe God for miracles beyond marvel.   The bible says that if we have the faith of a mustard seed, we should be able to speak to a mountain and have it be moved.   Growing up, I wasn’t famili...

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...

Why does God do it? Why does God put up with us?

We are some of the worst friends, daughters, sons, brothers, sisters.  We're so cynical and skeptical, that if someone is being "too nice" to us, we get suspicious that they want something from us.  We ask, "why is this person being so nice? I wonder what she wants?"  We can't fathom that someone would be extremely nice to us without having some type of agenda.  I think a lot of us look at God with that same sideways skepticism. Like, okay, so He sent His son to die on a cross for my sins, so that I might be saved.  And all He wants from me is to accept His salvation and allow Him to come into my heart? "But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in our transgressions - it is by grace you have been saved.  And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus in order that in the coming ages he might show the incomparable riches of his gra...
