Abundance

How are you taking care of the things of God? If you aren’t taking care of them now, how are you going to take care of them in Heaven?”

For a minute after I heard that comment I just sat and asked myself those questions over and over…waiting for someone other than me to respond…maybe that inner Angel would respond and be like “ Oh Girl, you are doing all the right things, you are eating right and exercising your spirit and your body” then I blinked and all of what was said wasn’t true! Epic FAIL! I know you’re thinking like okay we aren’t perfect, so what! Well… just because you aren’t perfect doesn’t mean you shouldn’t strive for perfection, that you shouldn’t walk and live as if you have a Heavenly Reward waiting on you! I think most times we are living those YOLO lives, and I laugh every time I think about that… God wants us to live Abundant lives.. to be at peace with who we are..it says it plainly in John 10:10 “The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life and have it abundantly” Although God wants us to live abundantly that doesn’t mean to be greedy! In 1 John 2:16 it says “For all that is in the world—the desires of the flesh and the desires of the eyes and pride in possessions—is not from the Father but is from the world.” I think as American’s we are innately consumers but God made us to be producers of light for His Kingdom.. but how can we do that if we aren’t healthy physically and spiritually?! How can we prosper the Kingdom if we can barely walk up the stairs without getting winded? Seriously, our health is serious and if we don’t get a hold on it we won’t be well enough to live out our purpose for God. I don’t know what your specific struggle maybe it’s negative thoughts, weight, depression, lack of reading your word, sleeplessness, anger, unforgiveness…Whatever it is… DEAL WITH IT!!! Don’t allow those minor things to become MAJOR in your Life! God is the ONLY MAJOR that should be RUNNING YOUR LIFE! It’s time to do the WORK and WORK out our issues.. no more hiding behind a smile, no more faking it until you make it. .because In CHRIST you shouldn’t have to.. especially when God has given us a new DAY! As long as your still breathing there is HOPE!! Don’t give up! KEEP PUSHING!! ENCOURAGE YOURSELF!!! GOD HASN’T FORGOTTEN ABOUT YOU!!! I charge you to write out your issues and deal with them one at a time… God is waiting on you…

1 Corinthians 10:13 No temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man. God is faithful, and he will not let you be tempted beyond your ability, but with the temptation he will also provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it.

Prayer:

God change my heart so I can appreciate my blessings..

Amen…
