Just Let it Go!

       Has God been asking you for something lately? Has he been telling you to let something go, yet you deny it is Him and even say it's just in your head? The more closer I have walked towards Him the more things I have had to surrender because it is impossible to both God and my own flesh. One of the things that was very hard for me to surrender was my ex-boyfriend of 5 years. 

      Since the beginning of the relationship God was always showing me that he was not God's will. Many times when I was with my ex, God would tell me, to let Him go. But I resisted, I refused to accept that God did not want Him for me. I would even say it was in my head. However, with time, that voice would speak louder and louder to my mind. I even tried to go around it, and said I would fight for him to want something with God. But, at the end of this bumpy road, I finally found the strength to let go. Once I let him go, I grabbed onto God like never before.

   I want to share something that was once shared with me. When God asks you to let something go, whether its a friendship, boyfriend/girlfriend, resentment, baggage, etc., it's for two reasons. One, that thing or person will end up hurting you in the future and even put your own salvation at risk, and second, because God  wants to give you something better. 

God Bless,

  

      

A Blessing or The Blessing?

On my way to school, I was thinking about yesterday's post where I was talking about the mistress. I'm sure many of you have seen this happen. A new person comes to the church because of a disease, a problem with a family member, a financial problem, etc. What I have seen is that when the person comes they fight for their blessing, and once they receive it, many times, they stop coming. And all of sudden people start wondering "What happened to this person?"

Why did they stop coming? Because they came for a blessing and not the One who blesses. God does not just want to give you a blessed family, that dream job, that man or woman you have been waiting for, no, He wants to make you the blessing.

When does a person become the blessing? When they have an encounter with God. When you give Him your old life, and allow Him to give you a new one. But He will only do this, if you open up yourself to Him.

This reminds of a little quote I found in a bookstore a few months ago. God will go through anything and anyone to get to you. If there are a thousand steps between you and Him, He will take 999 steps but the last step is up to you.

God Bless
