Perfect Trust

Romans 8:25 - But if we hope for what we do not see, with perseverance we wait eagerly for it. (HCSB)

Perfect trust moves us beyond the grin-and-bear-it mode, and the just get along attitudes. It, perfect trust, means we remain in the position of waiting with open hearts, open hands, and open arms. For the revelation has come to us, I am dependent on the faith in the father, I will not be consume in fret or tempt to relent. I will submit the simple phrase as my mantra – For God to increase, i must decrease – as I am await the touch from the Father. To receive the showers of grace to comfort me; the cloak of love to reassure me, He has not forgot me; the refreshing supremely holy arms to hold me, letting me know, I am not alone, and the Master smiles upon my soul ‘do not be moved’…I know it will not be easy but I can sustain because the Sustainer has me. In the end of it all, I will see the beautiful change and like the phoenix of men, spiritually and physically, I shall live in abundance that befits me in my time according to God’s measure. Your, Grace Granter, healing hands, transforming me to Thee…Because when I thought no one was listen, paying attention, or getting me, you like the mother giving, preparing unknowingly, you were there in my presence demonstrating how faithful the Father really is to his children… For there is no one so worthy, faithful, or holy like our Father, and He always takes care of us; we just have to embrace Perfect Trust and persever...

We will all have to give account for our actions.

Rev. 20:11-13 I saw a Great White Throne and the One Enthroned. Nothing could stand before or against the Presence, nothing in Heaven, nothing on earth. And then I saw all the dead, great and small, standing there—before the Throne! And books were opened. Then another book was opened: the Book of Life. The dead were judged by what was written in the books, by the way they had lived. Sea released its dead, Death and Hell turned in their dead. Each man and woman was judged by the way he or she had lived (MSG).


See we are all to be accountable for our actions. We are going to be judge for what we have done; some by default (silent is consent by default) and by consent, if we knew right and did not do. Yet, we lived like what we do does not matter. We behave with the lack of awareness, what happens in the dark or in secret, never find us out; it does. We live it, in our actions, we tell it, with our speech, and we show it, in our connections; for those who have lens to see, see it. Because when the truth is so ugly, figuratively to us, the lie becomes the attractive nuisance we cannot deny. Then we choose the story, the path, the way that fits our lives and heart desire, right now. Forgetting, God is there and all his truths are not meant to be beautiful to us because of the imperfections and flaws in us, rather they are to be beneficial and for our good. Not all things good for us is good to us, and although we know this, we ignore it when it suits us. Then we wonder why we find ourselves in conundrums, situations, and issues occurring in our life; it is our choice. We question the will and the way of God. We fail to embrace the truth of the Father; his logic is not ours, his way is not ours, and his reasoning is not ours. See only a God like ours will take the wretch, the unwanted and the foolishness of man and make kings, philosophers, and radical innovative messengers that transform lives into a legacy format. We will all be judged and have to stand before the Throne of Grace and answer for the irreverent, unforgiving, and selfish motivated behavior condone and performed by each us. The irony is this, we choose our fate, and our eternal destination every second, every month, every year, and being honest with self allows this to be grace filled and god-directed…your choice.

Someday is just a delay

Ecc. 3:1;15 -There is an occasion for everything, and a time for every activity under heaven…Whatever is, has already been, and whatever will be, already is. God repeats what has passed.(HCSB).


Is some day? In just a minute or I will do it tomorrow? Do these times ever arrive for us? For most of us, they either never come, or we move out of sync with God’s timing. The logic for this kind of thing goes hand and hand with this – if I always owe you (money that is), then you are never broke. This statement stands there in the darkness plagued of confusion as we let it steal away the light, the right that should be done but we allow it not to be. We find ourselves moving toward the attractiveness of the lie, the confusion, the disorder and the excuse more enticing than the truth that is not so invitingly pretty. So we opt for the short-term, temporary or hurried right now, rather than wait for the right the time for the beautiful future. It is amazingly ironic when the truth of our deliverance lies in the what seem to be difficult, dangerous, complicated or complex that covers the diamond in the rough, we opt for the sublimeness of disobedience. Then by default we create a heart that will not forgive, eyes that will not see, and a soul that is closed to the pure touch. Even though, we all know there is a time, place, reason, and what God speak, is. This should encourage us to say yes to His will; inspite of what is before us to undertake. Because in uncertain time, He cracks rocks to bring an infinite spring of refreshing water, make much out of little to feed thousands, and speaks to the turbulent weather and all are at peace. So, some day is a just a delay because God timing is flawlessly perfect; we just have to choose to go, and trust He shall provide, regardless of what it looks like…eyes have not seen, ears have not heard, nor has it entered into the hearts of man what God has in store for…He just did not say it would easy…smiling… just that He would do the impossible…

Strength in our faithfulness

Great is our faithfulness. When you are faithful to the father deliverance is received and accepted. When you get delivered, all those connected to you are touched, changed, and receives a portion of deliverance because of your faithfulness. The key is to stay planted, plugged into the source that allows you to strength, growth, sturdiness, and grounding. When we are planted by the cooling, reassuring, and reliable source that sustains life like water, God’s grace, we remain. We shall bear fruit that blesses. We shall not wither away, and always prosper. Yet, we will still have to endure the metaphorical rain, the symbolic storms, metaphorical coolness, and the figurative heated sun that provides the transformative tools to keep us unmoved. For all is needed for our good and bestows us understanding of the season we are in without the distressing…Psalm 1:3 - He will be like a tree firmly planted by streams of water,Which yields its fruit in its season And its leaf does not wither And in whatever he does, he prospers (NASB). The question we must ask ourselves is - do we desire to prosper in our season, or do we wither away because of our fear.
