A Greater Understanding

Change nobody likes it but sometimes it is for the better. That is what I have been feeling lately God is changing my season around with him I am entering a new fresh start. God told me today a very interesting thing that Change bring perspective and perspective brings compassion. God wants the best for us. He loved us enough to do works of his kingdom for his name. God has called us all to work for his kingdom it is rather if we respond to the call or not. God started a work in me when I first got saved almost 2 years ago and He isn't through with me yet. Sometimes we don't get why change happens or why so everything changes so sudden. But it brings me to realization that God works everything out for our benefit. He wants us to prosper in him not the world. Even if change occurs God will work it out for the good (Romans 8:28). I am excited/ scared to begin a new fresh step in a new season. But I know that in the end He will mold me to who I am suppose to be. Today in the prayer room I thought about something Jeremiah 18 The potter and the clay. God hasn't stop molding me ever but he keeps pressing me and smoothing the cracks out in it. And also just now I thought of something you know how when you make pottery you have to put it in the fire to smooth it out and make it shiny? Well that is exactly what God does also he makes our hearts refined in him shiny and smooth no cracks or bumps. I mean we all don't like change because we love the comforts of our home. We don't like going and saying no I am going to listen to God's call on my life and run after it. God is continually moving forward never moving backwards or stopping in his tracks and going on a different path. God is the same God that lived in Jesus times. Jesus did great things while living on the earth and we can do those same things. We just need to let go of all of our understanding and lean on God's understanding. That is also something he was just whispering in my ear today was just let it all go. I know people that it is hard. It stinks sometimes to let everything go for Jesus but it is beyond worth it. Because God loves the obedient heart he dances over us full of joy and happiness when we are unaware. God has told me so many time its a choice is the sacrifice worth the reward? And all the time for me it is. It is so worth just knowing that God is proud of me. It is the Joy he gives me to let me know he is smiling from ear to ear just saying that he is very well pleased with us. God wants the best for us so why do we keep restraining back. I know so many time I have asked God to use me well he isn't going to use me if I stand still. God wants this generation to move for his name. Change occurs because God lets it. He makes everything happen for a reason weather we can understand now thats a different story. God never said there wouldn't be change in our walk with him but he did say that change brings character. I just wanna say that I am ready for this season God is about to take us all into and I am so blessed by him. God Bless :)

A Past Forgotten But Not Forgiven

The past for many of you involves like hurt, happiness, pain, trials, and ma.ny adventures. But how come for us we can sometimes forget the past but not forgive it? We as humans tend to shut up the hurt and pain that has happened. So many times we say oh we are just going to pretend those events didn't happen. Yet when something triggers a memory all this anger and bitterness surrounds us. WE tend to get angry at the past when we cannot change the past. We need to start forgiving. Why should we hold onto all the anger and rage. All it does is mold in our hearts and turns the good parts black. We hold stuff against others because we want them to feel the pain we felt when they hurt us. For what??? What is it for?? It isn't going to do anything for us in the end but just make us feel dirty and gross. We need to be a generation that forgives the past like Jesus has with us. It makes me think of the current event how that pastor wanted to burn the Muslim bible. I am agreeing with my pastor that is NOT the heart of Jesus. Jesus forgives and moves on and that is what that pastor should have done is forgive the past and just pray for the nation. We need to stop focusing all our thoughts on the past and look what is happening now. And how hungry this generation is for Jesus. Jesus isn't moving backwards he is moving forwards so shouldn't we do the same if we are Christian? Christian means Christ follower. God wants us to forgive so he can forgive us. Its a harsh thought but it is true. So my goal is to stop holding onto the past and just let it go. And God didn't mean for all this pain and hurt to happen in your life but God WILL WORK It all out for the good. And though we may not see it in the present we will see it sometime in the future. God is good and his love will remain forever strong. God Bless you all.
