Participate In Your Own Deliverance

It is hard to deal with things in life when all you know how to do and what it takes to make it to the top... is still not enough... but you have to keep going... 

Too often people find themselves wondering about being left behind... feeling lost and out of step with others...

It is easy to feel like you belong when you are young...  you believe that life is all in front of you with no worries... a great feeling you can do anything...

But as you get older... friends become few... and you wonder what have you accomplished in life... Soon... those days turn into weeks, and weeks into months and months into years... without any change or impact...

However, if any change is going to happen in your life...  you have to make up your mind and take the steps to make that change... happen   

Stop waiting for others to make a difference in your life... you be the difference in your life...

On one occasion, Jesus told the ten lepers... "Go show yourself to the priests." and as they went, they were cleansed. (Luke 17:14)

Participating in your own deliverance is a choice...

What are you waiting for?

Ø  The Time is Now and Not Later

I Am A Child

I am a Child of the Most High God... and God Loves Me and has given Me speical Gifts to use for His Glory... and God has a special plan for my Life...

"Know this Today, that the plans God has for You are always correct, fair and balance.  In fact they are out of this world" John 14: 1-3.

To Believe Once More

As you grow older it is hard to be shielded from the reality of life and the loss of pure innocent like a child.  When we were children, so much of life was about having fun, leaning things, full of joy, bright eyes, smiles, laughter and the future. 

 

Soon as the years pass by, our memory fades, vision blurs, hair greys, hands tire, body aches, wrinkles appear and our walk slows.  It not that we have lost sight of what we once had, but rather the fact that we miss it, those days of old.  It is the reality that we are touched by those precious memories, how they linger and continue to flood our souls.     

 

“Know this today, that we are all children of God and that He continues to watch over every person regardless of age and time.”    

 

 

A Race To The Top

When my sons were young and living in Savannah, Georgia, I use to race them up and down the street. At that time it was easy to achieve success, they seemed to always look forward to those father/son challenges. However, as the years passed and as my sons grew older, stronger and wiser, the roles soon changed. Our races took on new meaning and the results changed as well. I was no longer winning, but rather just trying not to finish last.

Similarly, all races worth running will change over time. However, each race requires purpose, preparation, and perspective. Having a clear purpose of why you are in a particular race helps to maintain your motivation. And motivation is the fuel that ignites the passion that give the race real meaning.

When preparing for our races, one must keep in mind that “It’s not how you start, but rather how you finish” and that preparation is necessary to ensure that outcomes are achieved. We always must remember that most races are not won by the most talented, best looking, most skillful, most successful; but rather are won by the best prepared.

Keeping a proper perspective about what the race is really about, to keep it in context helps to maintain a healthy balance between expectations and outcomes. Perspective is linked to perception and it finds its foundation in what you can believe about something, past experiences, what you read or hear or even learned from the experiences of others.

“Know this Today, our road map to the top is always known by God, for God will order our steps and will provide us with the necessary help along the way.”

 

You Got to Believe

"Belief is to know that outcomes equal expectations.  It is when something comes not because it will happen, but because I expected it to appear.  It’s the difference maker that separates those who talk about doing something and those who make something happen."   

 

“Know this today that God is expecting you to do something unique that will impact the world for years to come.”

O How Majestic

“The closer we get to God the bigger He becomes and the smaller our problems seem to be.” 

 

“Know this today that a problem to God is His specialty and it does not matter our size – for we are all made in His image.” 

Majesty

“When we uphold our light to the Light that God provides: there is a difference in the size and the reflection it casts.”

 

“Know this today that God helps us to see things that no other one can imagine.”

Paid in Full

“Our daily bread is just a reflection of God’s continue promise to those who are called by His name and know that each passing day the receipt for that day - is paid in full.”  

 

“Know this today that the price tag for daily blessings is simple – give God your best.” 

 

When it all Looks the Same

“Looks sometimes are deceiving," they say.   Many things appear to be harmless, identical or duplicates, they may not be or the real deal. 

 

In our lives, things will happen to us that will test us, challenge us or even overwhelm our best efforts to remain strong and unique - Even when things appear to be the same; when your uniqueness is compromise by fear, intimation and limitations. 

 

“Know this today that God knows each of us and that our true makeup is only known by Him.”
