His Provision is My Protection

HIS PROVISION IS MY PROTECTION--- That is what God has been speaking to me Today.Never heard it anywhere before and it just popped in my head straight from God, I am not a alliteration person people :)

Nothing is impossible for YOU, nothing is impossible. Nothing is impossible, YOU hold my WORLD in YOUR hands!!! You are all we need, I believe, I believe your my portion, I believe your MORE than ENOUGH for me. Jesus your ALL I need.

This song has been ringing in my head all day long today. I sent it to a family member this morning and since then I have had it stuck in my head. This has been a favorite song of mine for a very long time it always seems to lift my spirit. This week has been good so far despite things that are going on in my life God is and always will be bigger and better.
Lets just say that I am beyond amazed at God's wonderful plan for my life and how he has worked a few people into my life in the past year. It has truly been a blessing, and I believe that I have grown more this year than I ever have. His plan is always greater than ours and he places exactly who we need in our lives when we need them, His provision is my protection!!!

I have been thinking a lot about different topics and subjects this week. We sing this song all the time. "I believe nothing is impossible for you" but if we really get honest with ourselves... we still worry, we still wonder... when God, when will I get my breakthrough, when will my children come to you, when will everything be perfect like (that persons life) when will I look like that, when will my family be as put together as theirs?... When the truth is we all have our own flaws and no one is perfect, but so many times we find ourselves deceived thinking the exact opposite. God made us exactly, ourselves, our family, our lives, the way he wanted them. Yes, sometimes we have to go through a lot in life, and I will be the last one to tell you that becoming a Christian makes everything easier, because it's just not that way. The bible even says we will be tempted and tried in our faith, to see if we are keeping the faith, and most of the time it seems to come all at once at the worst time possible but that is exactly why we have God, and the friends and family that we can trust to go to.

Sooo to make a long story short of what is on my heart today--- lets just say... Nothing is Impossible for HIM, Nothing is Impossible, Nothing is Impossible for HIM, HE holds OUR entire World----in HIS hand.
-If he is for us then who can be against us, and These three remain: faith, hope, and love, but the greatest of these is Love.
Love each other, Life is too short, God paid too much, and we are meant to be here for each other.

Life... Abundantly

Life... We are called to live an abundant life... But what exactly does this mean? We all know the scripture Jeremiah 29:11. For I know the plans I have for you, says the LORD, plans to prosper not to harm you and plans to give you a hope and a future. But my question is... Do we REALLY believe it. Do we really believe that he wants us to live an abundant life? Well he does. The abundant life he wants us to live does not consist of walking around as a failure or looking down at the ground all day long, It doesn't consist of looking at someone for who they were rather than who they are and it also doesn't consist of looking back at your past, because everyone knows its hard to move forward when you are looking back... and if you do you are destined to crash. My Pastor has been talking about our lives and how so many times we go around with "what he/she" thinks we are or who we are tattooed to our person. Depression, Divorce, Fear, Finance, Sexual Immorality, Hurt and many more that so many "Christians" carry around like a suitcase. I found this to be something that NEEDS to be talked about now more than ever. Because as I look around me, so many of us are walking around with something that we have let keep ties with us. If we could all just realize that God has taken that away when we became his child we would all be better physically, emotionally, and spiritually. If we could get our focus off of ourselves, we would then see our purpose and vision as one of Gods children. Other people! We are called to help the hopeless, the hungry and the hurting. God has called us to live an abundant life consisting of love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self- control. He wants his Love to shine through us to reach others... what good does it do if it stays bottled up in us and never reaches something that is desperately in need or hurting beyond comprehension. We are made to love. Live in Love and Prosper, The World was never made to rule over us as it is many Christians today, but we were made to rule and have dominion over the world, being made in his image and likeness. We are co-heirs of Christ. He is for us not against us!!! We serve a loving God who continues to bless his children and give us all a hope and a future. His love will never fail.
