From my heart

I don't live a life free of problems. Yet I live a life free of worry. I sometimes have a lot and other times a little. I look over my life. Things I have been involved with..people I have been involved with, both business and personal, and I have no regrets. Everything happens for a reason. I am on a path. I understand people and places can be for seasons. Some places you aren't meant to stay. Some people aren't meant to stay. I often wonder and marvel how God works. He is an awesome God. I have not always known Him. But since giving my life to Him I really see His hand. I see that He was there even before I knew He was there. Get it? I was a wild one. I use to think everything was ok to do, as long as I wanted to do it. But I understand Paul when he wrote: 1 Corinthians 10:23 NIV
"Everything is permissible"--but not everything is beneficial. "Everything is permissible"--but not everything is constructive.
My thoughts have changed. My mindset is so different today than 2 years ago. Than even a year ago. Because I am constantly growing. I am a living witness, a walking testimony to how real God is. How good God is. And I trust Him! In all things and at all times. So even when things are not going well I trust Him. Even when I don't understand I trust Him. This is the christian walk. I have that trust because I have real experience with Him, and when you have that, it can't be denied. I am currently in the world but not apart of the world. And this is where any true believer is. in but not apart of. I am not interested in people pleasing, but in pleasing God. God says in Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end. My prayer is to let God's light shine thru me and to be encouraging to someone else. Get to know Jesus today. He will take you as you are. Don't worry about cleaning yourself up. He will do that. Don't worry about things you have done. Believe me I did a lot and He cleaned me up. But it's an unfinished work that won't be complete until He arrives as is written in Philippians 1:6 Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ: thanks for reading. I know it was long but it was in my spirit to share this. have a blessed day and remember to show love even when it's hard.
