Jealousy

The epitome of self hate and wanting something someone has. Often, damaging relationships and situations that could have been valuable. Causing one to be filled with bitter because they truly can't love what they have. Jealousy makes one blind and can't see the beauty in themselves. Feeling the need to compare. I have watch people, who seem to have it all, be so jealous of person who would love to be in their shoes. Instead, of gravitating to someone, jealousy makes you resent that person. The sad thing is the friendship or relationship could have been something special. I have dealt with this issue many times in my life, that it use to make me feel scared to even engage in a situation where a friendship can evolve. Then I had to realize that it's not about me but truly the person that has an inner problem. Honestly, some people, it turned me off from, because I had expected so much from them, and I had removed myself from their life. That doesn't really help because it causes them to feel so empty not knowing why I am so distant. Actually, it is a coward move, instead, I should have been courageous and expressed my feelings.

You see, the thing is some people are just a hater by nature. They were raised by haters and don't know nothing else. Then some are, as stated previously, filled with insecurities, and not truly confident in themselves. Overall, it is something that needs to be death with. Most haters are bitter and so unhappy. That it stops them from living to their full potential. God died and rose so we can have life to the fullest. Life is so precious and should be enjoyed in every second. Comparison is a deadly game that prohibits you from being happy. In fact, the bible speaks on comparison and how we should run our own race. (Galatians 6:4-6 Each one should test their own actions. Then they can take pride in themselves alone, without comparing to someone else, for each one should carry their own load. Nevertheless, the one who receives instruction in the word should share all good things with their instructor) Wow, this is why I love the word of God because it truly deals with every scenario in our lives. Lets self examine ourselves for a minute. I will be transparent, because I know it will help someone to be happy and evolve. I want a big house so bad for me and my kids. I want a mansion to be exact. I have a goal and promised myself that I will live my life to the fullest.

 Now here is the tricky part of this transparency moment. I was watching HGTV and this couple was purchasing this beautiful home. As, I was watching I found myself comparing the house to my house. Which by the way, is pretty big and very stylish. I started saying to myself. "I don't have a door like that." Like for real ya'll a door? Yes! In that moment I was being a hater. Guess what? One day God said to me look at your door. I looked and realized it was the same door with a different handle. What am I'm saying? Jealousy prohibits you from seeing your beauty. Half the time you have what you're hating on or more. Learn to be content and value your journey. (Philippians 4;12-13 I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty, I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. I can do all things through him who gives me strength.)

You see, you can be happy and you are blessed. Enjoy your blessing and the path that God has created for you. We all have our own purpose and journey. Tap into yours. Pray and ask God to reveal what is your purpose and gift.

No Matter What!

No Matter What! Life will throw you some major curveballs just to see how you will respond to it and God will seem silent testing you to see if you have enough faith in him. To be honest the whole ordeal can seem overwhelming. You may feel like me at times and want to pull all your hair out. Confused and scared to make the wrong decision, this is the moment I suggest you breathe and ponder like I do. I stop everything and pray and wait to get revelation on what to do. I have learned from Abraham and Sarah that when I feel hopeless and inpatient not to make a swift decision that can birth an Ishmel. The anointing does come with a price despite what churchy folks try to say.  I say this because now you are being attacked by the devil and his minions. You're fighting flesh that all of the sudden resurfaces hard and your emotions seem out of wack as well when you are pursuing purpose. I may not have all the answers, but one thing, I am confident in,  Jesus is real and ...

Your Life Can Change In Seconds!

Your Life Can Change In Seconds Close your eyes, inhale and exhale now open your eyes, that is how fast everything in your life can change for the better. We serve a God that is a waymaker and a miracle worker. It only takes one word from him. However, I must be honest with you. If you are not prepared for the abundance that the suddenly will cause then you are doomed. You see, I feel like we should be preparing ourselves for what we are praying for. We should be confident and educated in what we are desiring from God. Preparation will forever be the key to our success. I want to encourage you to be praying for wisdom and understanding so you will know how to handle whatever comes your way. This will allow the blessing to never be a burden. As your life changes in seconds, you will be able to carry the weight of the miracle. I think about Paul and Silas chained and bound in jail as they sang hymns, the prison doors opened. (Acts 12;3-19) You see that was a sudden breakthrou...

Release The Grief!

Release The Grief! The pain that we endure by people we love is the most painful experience ever. I don't know about you, but I can feel it in my bones and my heart aches when experiencing this kind of pain. Being hit from a blind spot not seeing it coming from that individual. I don't know if it hurts more because we didn't expect it or because who the oppressor is, either way, it hurts. As I am growing more each day spiritually, I am learning it cost me more to dwell on it. I push myself to show that person love and not the phony cordial type, I mean the same ounce of love before they offended me. People are not obligated to treat me in an exact manner that I expect. That is my expectation for them, not theirs. Don't get me wrong I expect respect but when a person offends me, most of the time it's because they didn't do something that I wanted them too. Some cases, for some people, it can be very different and traumatic circumstances. Still, when you think ...
