“The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. Instead he is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance.” 2 Pet. 3:9 NIV
One year ago, almost, I made a declaration about my relationship with God, and I thought things would just go. I would follow the protocol set before me, and move forward, but like most things with me, that was not to be. It seem most often than not, my path is a little different and more colorful, to say the least.lol. However, what I found most disconcerting is hardly no one really came to me with encouragement, or with ‘a keep your head up’, rather I received many negative digs, or toxic comments. I was like really?! See I believe in my heart what God allowed, I accept because He is teaching or using me for what I do not see. He does make something bless out of what man does in his negligence, selfishness, or cruelty ways; God uses it for my good. But we are too quickly to seek man’s way of doing, seeing, understanding things and not seek out God’s. However, if it is a God thing, then why seek man’s way? Is because we worship the creation, and not the Creator, or misery like company? I do not know what is it, but I do not know this. Who God called He justified, who he justified, he sanctified, who he sanctified, he purified, and in time, His time, He reconciles them unto Himself; done and done.
See God made me in His image, fashioned me with His intricate grace, refined me in the fires of mercy lace justice, and tempered me in blood stained cleansing love. I am reminded, I was not designed by Hasbro, plans laid for life were not laid out by Parker Brothers, made strong to endure life problems by Tonka toys, or placed into action by Trendmasters; I am God’s child…
And I remember more often than not, this verse when I am questioned about ‘how come’ - Proverbs 18:21 -The tongue has the power of life and death, and those who love it will eat its fruit…We choose, we always do…done, and done
