Lately I’ve been finding myself going through some tough times and I’ve been trying to do things on my own and trying to find my own way but time  and time again I am reminded of how I can’t do things on my own and how I should always let God take control and do things his own special way. Now I know many can relate to what I’m saying and that is why just like a friend shared this with me, I feel compelled to share it with all of you…so with that said enjoy!

The poem is entitled Let Go…and Let God…

As children bring their broken toys

With tears for us to mend,

I brought my broken dreams to God,

Because he was my friend.

But then, instead of leaving Him

In peace, to work alone,

I hung around and tried to help,

With ways that were my own.

At last, I snatched them back

And cried, “How can you be so slow?”

My child, He said, ” What could

I do” You never did let go.”

So many times, I find myself wondering exactly how exactly God will make a way out of what seems to be no way. I’m not sure how many of you may feel like this but I find this to be more times than I can actually count. The saddest part of all is that anytime I find myself in a situation and I really don’t know how it will turn out, I begin to doubt and forget at how good God has been to me and how he has done things for me beyond my wildest dreams. You see, God ask us to do something that is so simple, which is trust and believe in him and know that he will never let us down, you see where God sits on his throne, no one can move him. He reigns forever and despite what life may throw our way, he is ultimately in control. To say that we will not go through rough patches is an understatement, sometimes I feel like the devil will continously test us to see if we will forget how good God truly is but we just have to remember that the devil is a liar and that he never wins in any battle against the True and Faithful. Now one thing I know I have struggled with is, I’m doing everything that God is asking me to do but yet I still feel like God isn’t answering my prayers, what is that about? Well, I think it goes back to what I have said before God works in ways that is simply beyond our imaginations. God answers prayers and does things on his time and that’s just something that we can’t change but we can learn to appreciate because God knows what we need and when we need it. Again he will never let us down, so we shouldn’t let him down by not believing in his power. I know we all go through things in this life that can make us start to wonder about the power of God, but it is so important that we bring ourselves back to those times where he has made a way when we knew there was absolutely no way.  I just want to thank God for all of the things he has done and will continue to do on my behalf in my life. I hope you all can do the same! God Bless!

Being and remaining loyal is something that I believe we all deal with it at some point in our lives. So many of us take so much pride in saying how loyal we are to our friends, our family and our significant others, etc. We ensure these individuals that we wouldn’t do anything to hurt them and that no matter what we would always be there for them. We have these people place their trust in us because they believe in our loyalty. True loyalty, I believe is a nature that God possesses, God is loyal and ever so faithful to us. He makes promises unto us and he keeps them. I know that sometimes we may feel like God doesn’t quite answer our prayers the way we intended but he always answers them where the outcome is for the better. You see, being loyal to your friends, family and significant other is great and all but how about being loyal to the one that makes all things possible. God has done things for us that we just cannot begin to imagine or even comprehend. He has made a way for us when there probably was no way and yet we continue to turn our back on the one person that despite anything we can count on. You see, God asks us to be loyal to him in return, for some they think it’s a one way street when it really isn’t. God has a special love for those that love him and are loyal to him. Now you may ask, well how do I know that I’m being loyal to God and the answer is quite clear, are you following his word and doing all the things he’s asking of you. You might be thinking, well I’m trying to but God doesn’t just try to be loyal to us so we shouldn’t only try to do his will but really make a valiant effort. You see God has a set of laws that he simply ask us to follow to prove that we are loyal to him. How closely are we following God’s law, are we being completely loyal to God or are we really only pretending. I just thought I’d share this with all of you because I think sometimes it’s good to just make sure that we check our lives and make sure that we our ordering our steps in God’s words.

Psalm 86:5 “O Lord, you are so good, so ready to forgive, so full of unfailing love for all who ask for your help”.

We have been taught to forgive others and we claim to do that all the time but do we really forgive? How do you forgive someone that kidnaps your one and only daughter, rapes her, and infects her with a STD? For some of us, our first instinct is to see that person dead not imprisoned but dead. Imagine this, God’s only son came from heaven to earth got abused, raped of his dignity and infected with all of our sins and yet he continuously begs his father to forgive us. We sometimes let the human nature and our emotions take over and cloud our judgments.

Many times if we were to take at least one second to think we would act or react differently. To forgive is to complete restore the relationship. If you did something to me, I claim to forgive you , and I have a chip over my shoulder is that really forgiveness? We are not perfect however we should strive everyday to reach that level. To fully forgive we can’t do it all alone, we need the help and the guidance of the holy spirit. We should ask God everyday for a portion of his wisdom.
