Unwrapping a Testimony

Yesterday was Christmas,
 and while I was grateful to be around my love ones, it could not overshadow the emptiness I felt that day. The emptiness that I'm sure a lot of us feel during the holidays; the spirit of loneliness. As I scrolled down my timeline on my Facebook page, I knew that I wasn't alone. I couldn't seem to shake my self-loathing. That's when the Lord led me to his word in Psalms 18:8--It is better to trust in Lord than to put your confidence in man. I was putting my self-worth in man and that was my first mistake.

My friends, our identity is in God Almighty, not who we're with or not with, not what type of car we drive, or what type of job we have. We are great, because our greatness comes from him. The enemy would love for us to be depressed on the day that we celebrate the birth of our Lord and Savior. He wants to kill our spirits, steal our joy, and destroy of relationship with God. Don't let him!!  

As we get through the holiday season, let us thank our father in heaven for keeping us hidden from toxic relationships and unfulfilled careers. Have you ever thought that God is keeping us hidden for a reason? God doesn't want just good enough for our lives, God is preparing us for greater. But in order for us to gain everything that God has for our lives, we must put our trust in him and not in our circumstances.


Prayer of the week:

Father God, I pray that as we resume our daily routine this week, you keep us hidden in the deepest part of your heart. King Jesus, when the enemy begins to whisper in our ears about all the things that we don't have in our lives, let the holy spirit grow in our souls to reassure us that your love fills every empty void. Amen.

Gotta have faith, faith, faith

Blessings readers. I know I’ve been M.I.A. for a minute but I’m back!! Now let’s see, has anything interesting happened to me within the last few months? Well, I got a job, lost the job, had a car accident, and lost my pet cat (she decided to run into the wild after being let out of her pet carrier to stretch her legs…big mistake). Oh, I almost forgot, I got a flat tire today on my rental car! Yaaaay! Ever heard of the catch phrase “ The devil is busy! ”? When incidents like these occur in our lives it’s easy to blame the mishaps on the devil, but that’s not always the case. When I lost my job, God revealed my issues with anger. I then asked the Lord to remove the spirit of anger from my heart. Soon after, it appeared that problems came like clockwork. And from the outside looking in it could seem that the enemy was trying to dictate my life. But it wasn’t the work of the enemy. It was God’s way of building my character and faith. Think about the story of Joseph in Genesis a...

Growing in God

Seeing the old you in someone else can be hard to face. I experienced that today. I got a long glimpse of the very blunt, judgmental, and sometimes down right mean side of who I use to be. But the great thing about seeing shadows of your former self, is that we get to see how much God has grown in us spiritually. As we go into the new year, let us be thankful for our changed hearts and renewed spirits. And let us pray for those who must learn to grow in God's grace. Prayer for the week: Father God, I ask that as we go through this week, we are reminded each day of your saving grace. When we are tempted to undo the works of your blood, keeps us grounded and remind us of your holy word. Remind us that we are not who we use to be, and that we are still growing as we walk in your light. Amen 1 Corinthians 13:11 When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child; but when I became a man, I put away childish things.
