God Don't Bless Mess?!?/ I beg to differ

God don't Bless Mess?!? The Ignorant have spoken I beg to differ! I've been told this absolutely ignorant statement, early on in my walk with God. So I wasn't strong enough then to argue as to why this is complete and utter ignorance! And it's words like these that have kept many away!  How he loves me I will never know! Because he loves me despite me!  He loves you despite all you may have done. And loves you through your mess. That's when He loves you most, because He wants you to realize your not strong enough and you can't do it on your own. And to Humble yourself and allow Him to order your steps and light your path. He is the only one who can turn your mess into a message.  All of us have done, said or thought things that are wrong. This is called sin, and our sins have separated us from God. The Bible says “All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.” God is perfect and holy, and our sins separate us from God forever. The Bible says “The wages of sin is death.” As humans we are born into sin.   In Genesis chapter 3, Adam and Eve live at first with God in a paradise, but the serpent tempts them into eating the fruit from the tree of knowledge of good and evil, which God forbade. After doing so they become ashamed of their nakedness and God consequently expelled them from paradise. The Fall is not so-named in the Bible, but the story of disobedience and expulsion is recounted in both Testaments in different ways. The fall can refer to the wider theological inferences for all humankind as a consequence of Eve and Adam's original sin. Examples include the teachings of Paul in Romans 5:12–19 and 1 Cor. 15:21–22. Most Christian denominations believe that the fall corrupted the entire natural world, including human nature, causing people to be born into original sin, a state from which they cannot attain eternal life without the gracious intervention of God. Protestants hold that Jesus's death was a "ransom" by which humanity was offered freedom from the sin acquired at the fall.  As a Blood Washed Believer I was Bought With A Price !   My Confession and Baptism  illustrate Christ's death and resurrection. "For when you are baptized, you were buried with Christ, and in baptism you were also raised with Christ. The bible says: Buried with him in baptism, wherein also ye are risen with him through the faith of the operation of God, who hath raised him from the dead." Colossians 2:12 "The Holy Bible"  illustrates my New Life as a Christian. "When someone becomes a Christian he becomes a brand new person inside. The old life has passed away and a new life has begun! the bible says: Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new" 2 Corinthians 5:17 "The Holy Bible" An absolute mess, yes. Not easily cleaned up, forgotten or forgiven. Some things you can never take back. Yet what I view as something to be erased, thrown away, or even hidden in shame is the raw, workable material God, the Potter, uses to create masterpieces for His glory and for ministry. Our desperate neediness uncovers His greatness. Our weakness points to His strength. Our mess becomes His redemptive message of love and grace to others who are broken, too. Much like the darkness of the Shulammite woman; God’s light and holiness overshadow it. Here’s the good news. God doesn’t require perfection. He just wants yielded clay. As He takes the imperfections of our lives, our sins and mistakes, our tragedies and wounds, He showcases His glory and His perfection through them in jars of weak, earthly clay. “But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me” (2 Corinthians 12:9 NIV). Have you made a mess? Go ahead, release it. And watch what God can do with it. ByTheWay......S.I.N. Self Indulged Nonsense Stop Indulging

Are you a Thermometer or a Thermostat?

Are you a Thermometer or a Thermostat? Don't become so well-adjusted to your culture that you fit into it without even thinking."Romans 12:2 TM Don't be a thermometer, be a thermostat. Thermometers just reflect the climate around them - thermostats set it. Actually, they lift it! Most of us are like thermometers reflecting the culture around us. We buy things others buy, say things others say, wear things others wear, and value things others value. Oh, there are slight variations, but most of the time we don't set the climate for the world we live in; we simply adjust to it. But not overcomers! No, they take life to the next level. They become thermostats and change the environment in which they're placed. For instance, you may know people who raise the Spiritual temperature of a group or determine the attitudes of others just by being present. They're pacesetters. They influence, rather than merely allowing others to influence them. Paul's challenge to ...

The Lost Tribe Of REAL Woman

I have touched on this topic in the past, and due to current events felt the need to revisit it. In the year 2011 I have come across many situations that have made me ask the question, "where are all the real women?" In a time downtrodden with the insurgence of reality television. The images of Real Women doing Real things are few and far in between. It seems as society has embraced the images of women fighting and gossiping and crabbing* each other as the norm. But did I miss the memo or something? I wasn't aware that this was the way to carry yourself as a woman, a mother, a sista, a friend...ect. Since when did it become ok to not be happy with yourself so you drag down every and anyone around you? Quoting Basketball Wives, Love & Hip Hop, and Nicki Minaj like its sacred grail. Catchy one liners for tee shirts is not what life should be made of. There was a time when a Woman could compliment another Woman not knowing her personally, but just out of respect...
