It is time to be the change

Learning to see your experiences directs you to your destiny and imperative to your peace, helps you to grow. Understanding God will not reveal more to you, until you are willing to obey truths with you currently will stop you from wondering how long, or when. Realizing time is precious and not a recyclable good, gives you a perspective that helps you to see the implications bigger than you and right now. Listening for that still small voice rich luster vibrations that changes lives and direction, grants a wholeness unmatched or untouched. Recognizing all of this is within our grasp, then the question we must ask ourselves is - do we let the time consumed with an unforgiving heart just pass us by thinking because we can, we do, and that is just how it is done; is okay?.. I say, not so. We all must re-examine ourselves and re-evaluate self, so that we understand how we are spending our time tells the world more of who we are and where our focus is without us saying a word…See, Madame Guyon got it right- it is the fire of suffering that brings forth the gold of godliness. Because in our suffering the pain to get through to the other side is not a bargaining chip to be use to gain relief; it is too expensive...Obama is right, it does not matter what side you are on politically, sooner are later we all have to recognize, we cannot continue business as usual if progression is the desired goal. We cannot deny the pain of correction for the sake of being right at the expense others, or for the right to be in the ‘high seats’; this is selfish. The one holding all the marbles, controlling all the chips, and blocking all access points still dies and takes nothing but their soul to the other side. So, time has come to put aside the tragedies of yesterday, latent hits of rhetoric of today to move forward with a comprehensive initiative that not only reaches across the aisle in theory but in implementation and application because egos are left on the schoolyard where they belong. While we bring the power broker of self-sacrifice to takes center stage. Jesus, meant for us all belong to the Father and own it, for we all have the right to the robust gift of living our truth, without fear or trepidation. Otherwise, we will never overcome the evil of the self-impressed ego that reside in each of us because we never took the time to listen to the voice, the timbre, to see the gift in giving up the hold on what brings nothing but division. Letting go for the greater good grants the ultimate and the most precious…1 Kings 3:23-27- The king said, "This one says, 'My son is alive and your son is dead,' while that one says, 'No! Your son is dead and mine is alive.' Then the king said, "Bring me a sword." So they brought a sword for the king. He then gave an order: "Cut the living child in two and give half to one and half to the other." The woman whose son was alive was filled with compassion for her son and said to the king, "Please, my lord, give her the living baby! Don't kill him!" But the other said, "Neither I nor you shall have him. Cut him in two!" Then the king gave his ruling: "Give the living baby to the first woman. Do not kill him; she is his mother. (NIV)" …the heart that sees self-sacrifice allows you to let go, and is free to move forward unhindered when you aligned with the Father…It is time to be the change you wish to see without waiting on anyone, because changes begins with one person choosing to stand!

So, what are you going to do?

I am not sure what to write about today? So I am going to ramble about something that bugs me…I am wonder what do we do with the knowledge we have? The skill set we have acquired? The gifts we were given by God; you know your gifts and talents were meant to be shared, right… Are we willing to share with others? Do we take time out of our busy day to listen to someone else without trying to make them impress with us and our skills, rather seeking to be impressed with them? Are we so consumed with ‘making it big’, whatever that means to you, we fail to help others who are trying to make it too but have no guidance or direction? Do we rest on traditions, what we are use to, as a compass because it easy, and hope someone else does the work so you can go in? Do we think life will not catch up with us, and so our self-absorbed ways of dropping names, throwing in our degrees or expertise, and spitting out our titles or position? Can we not see no one cares about any of these things, unless it brings benefit and growth to them? What are we afraid of that we fail to share with others? Lift someone else up, not at the expense of self, but expansion of self. See lighting another candle with your light does not diminish you. It actually enhances you, and brings more light for all. Why do we wallow in our insecurities, fear, and aloofness pushing people away? Yet, we assume and proclaim we are helping but as soon as someone seeks you out for help assistance, or guidance we feign unavailability because it is not a convenient time for us. When is giving of ourselves ever convenient? Yet, we have the nerve to get upset when others do this to us? Let’s get real. Giving of self is never convenient, not always financially beneficial, or easy. However, we quickly share ourselves in ineffective endeavors which inflate our heads while diminishing our heart. We too quickly surround ourselves with others who feed our ego, but not challenge our intellect or put our integrity to the test. We shy away from, avoid with a vengeance, pretend integrity, and hide behind our intellect so that we do not have be honest with self and live our truth. Because the person who seek your knowledge, desires to learn from you, you forget to call, or reach out as you see their greatest before they do; you do not want anyone else to be greater than you. What if that is your lot to help the one to be the one, does that not make you great? When will we get it, the most precious thing we have in this life is ourselves and our time…John 3:17, yeah 17 not 16 states - For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him (NIV). Christ came to save the world and he did it through sacrifice of self and time in order to reach out to others. For He realized the reward of reaching out to those who sought him out, and those who needed him was necessary, although it was not always easy, convenient or followed the tradition of that day…So, when are we going to begin living, giving and being the example of Christianity we teach, preach, and sermonize about, or we just going to let the darkness swallow us whole slowly with delays because it is not easy for us…Psalm 103:17-18 - But from everlasting to everlasting the LORD's love is with those who fear him, and his righteousness with their children's children- with those who keep his covenant and remember to obey his precepts (NIV)…So, what are you going to do…as for me, I am going to live, as hard as it is, as inconvenient as it will become, the precepts, how about you?...

God is neither Historical and Hysterical:

Well I pray this entry find you doing well. Today at church, the minister said something that kind of stuck with me, so I decided share. God is neither hysterical or historical; wow…Meaning He does not over react because of a short fuse or sensitivity base on someone actions or statements. Historical meaning he has a short memory, not a bad memory; he chooses to forget and not hold our iniquities and indiscretions against us; he is not like man. He simply choose to let things go; he has a heart of forgiveness…Now the questions we have to ask ourselves is – why are we so hysterical, dramatic, quick to go off in certain or all areas that strike us wrong, unnecessarily? Also, historical, what good does it do for us to rehash what has happened in the past to us or against us, when we fight or try to make a point? Then I recognized, we choose because of unresolved issues; lessons not learned; less than authentic lives, we live; and self imposed insecurity and fears. Why? We value the opinions of others, more than we value God infallible truths, we want to impress others with ‘me’ and forget we have a choice in who we believe or gravitate to; free will. See the old school yard chant of - it is not what you are call, but what you answer to; we choose or accept what is true. Yet, we cannot help ourselves. This result from us denying our weaknesses, and putting them in a dark, dank, hidden places with shameful label. Thus, we have triggers, so when someone get close to it with words, action, or touch it, unbeknownst to the person, we react. All because we forgot, we are told by our savior in our weakness, he is strong. This is only difficult because we deny the truth of who are…hmmmm

Therefore, it is easier to be hysterical to redirect and create confusion by being hysterical andhistorical; God is not the author of confusion, Satan is. Now, we can identify why the madness ensues and strife, division develops because the our focus is askewed…While we go historical because we do not comprehend, truly, God takes all things ( good/bad, depressing/exciting, and abundance/lack times to teach, reach, bless, draw,) to equip us. He cannot do so because we focus on the wrong thing, self. God never focus on self, it is always our good. Yet, we focus on man, and the popular opinion polls we hear. See both Hysterical and Historical are both self-destructive mind-set fertilizing the breeding grounds for malice. So ask yourself, why do I go historical and get hysterical? Think about it, it does not improve anything, only make all things worse. ..Prov. 4:24-26 Don't let your mouth speak dishonestly, and don't let your lips talk deviously. Let your eyes look forward; fix your gaze straight ahead. Carefully consider the path for your feet, and all your ways will be established. Don't turn to the right or to the left; keep your feet away from evil. (HCSB)..Think about it Hysterical or historical neither of them serves a purpose BUT GOD saves!
