Don't IGNORE the Signs

There are certain individuals that have the tendency to say that someone mislead them in some way or another; however if you choose to close your eyes to the signs, you're only fooling yourself... Don't be a participant of that type of deception by keeping quite; because you're only hurting yourself....

It's sad to say; but: pain, shame, and Oh YES, love makes people ignore the reality that's been staring them in the face for so long... We HOPE and PRAY that one day, sooner than later you'll be able to clearly: think, see, and accept that you don't have to allow the fear of being alone control or blind you...

Whenever you feel the urge to disregard what's obviously in front ... PLEASE read this:

ISAIAH 41:10

SO DO NOT FEAR, FOR I AM WITH YOU; DO NOT BE DISMAYED, FOR I AM YOUR GOD. I WILL UPHOLD YOU WITH MY RIGHTEOUS RIGHT HAND .

CLOSING ARGUMENT

When the LORD closes one DOOR, somewhere else; JESUS CHRIST already has another DOOR waiting for you to WALK through...

Feed your FAITH and Drown your DOUBT

Here are a few successful tips on how to Feed your FAITH:

1. Truly Try to put yourself in GOD'S Sandals. Think to yourself, what would JESUS do? Then make an attempt to do it...
2. Make an effort to increase your PRAYER time.
3. Purchase a BIBLE that's easy for you to: read, comprehend, and try to read a chapter at least once a day; at your own pace. Remember what you read repeatedly, you'll retain...

That's why this BIBLE verse truly speaks to our HEARTS:

2 CORINTHIANS 5:7

FOR WE WALK BY FAITH, NOT BY SIGHT.

Now lets shift gears and discuss how to Drown your DOUBT:

1. Ask yourself, why are you wasting PRECIOUS time that you could be using to: PRAISE GOD, grow as an individual, and be a BLESSING to others?
2. What have you ACHIEVED by Doubting GOD and yourself?
3. Socialize with people that are HUNGRY to Step out of the Box when it comes to Serving the LORD...
4. The BIBLE is a equipped with verses that will assist and guide you on how to abandon that PESSIMISTIC mentally.

Furthermore, feel free to take in this verse, we do, and the aftermath is AWESOME:

JAMES 1:6

BUT LET HIM ASK IN FAITH, WITH NO DOUBTING, FOR ONE WHO DOUBTS IS LIKE A WAVE OF THE SEA THAT IS DRIVEN AND TOSSED BY THE WIND.

FINAL THOUGHT

Don't worry about how long it takes; because it's an ... ON GOING PROCESS...

BLESSINGS,

Be THANKFUL

If someone left your life and you know that individual didn't assist or guide you in a productive way...

Be Thankful

The refrigerator may not be FULL to the capacity that you'd like...

Be Thankful

Your spouse and you are digesting some bad news...

Be Thankful

The kids won't adhere to your advice; because they don't want to admit your right...

Be Thankful

Your employer gets his trills from annoying you and never recognizes your full potential...

Be Thankful

What we, as a society are going through is nothing compared to what's going on in: New Orleans, Haiti, Cuban, Pakistan, Africa, and Jerusalem... Perhaps that's something to contemplate when we're complaining about small stuff as if GOD isn't listening; instead of Being Thankful for what we have... Draw your own conclusions and get back to us?

PHILIPPIANS 4:6

DO NOT BE ANXIOUS ABOUT ANYTHING; BUT IN EVERYTHING BY PRAYER AND SUPPLICATION WITH THANKSGIVING LET YOUR REQUEST BE KNOWN TO GOD.

BLESSINGS,

Gift giving, comes from the HEART!

The best gift we can give our fellow: man, woman, or youth is: time, communication, and respect; then GOD will take care of the rest...

When someone is celebrating their: birthday, wedding anniversary, or job promotion, a sealed envelope with a particular amount of money is usually given. Then the person goes off on their merry way thinking that what they did was something out of this world. Instead of offering that individual, whom they probably Love and respect something more: personal, from the heart, and that will produce a lasting affect. Don't misinterpret what we're saying: YES, the economy has experienced a downfall, money is tight; but society's lacking that One on One contact too... Think about it?

As a: Wife, Mother, and Pastor; my fondest memories are:

1. When My Gem(hubby) prepares my favorite dish; that's when I start to sing Oh Happy Day...
2. Our 4 Diamond(sons), when they write a: Christian rap, poem, or story; that's what I call Priceless...
3. Or if a member of the congregation calls us just to say: I Love You, don't forget that lunch is at our home, or we're PRAYING for you 2; that's the icing on the cake...

In conclusion, if someone is celebrating a special day and your pockets are empty that day; take that opportunity to: PRAY with them, spend some quality time with them, and allow the LORD to take his course... Remember this, money and other material things can come and go; but Memories are imprinted in the Heart...

2 CORINTHIANS 9:11

YOU WILL BE MADE RICH IN EVERY WAY SO THAT YOU CAN BE GENEROUS ON EVERY OCCASION AND THROUGH US YOUR GENEROSITY WILL RESULT IN THANKSGIVING TO GOD.
