God Works all Things Together for The Good

The bible says in Romans 8:28 God works all things together for the good. God has the ability to take the good and the bad in our life and make them work for the good and that good just isn't for us but for the lives others as well.  Last week I went to the hospital to see my mother because she had to have an operation. I must admit I was concern because of her age but still trusting God for her healing. When I got to the hospital I prayed for my mother and I offered to pray for the lady that was in the other bed in the room with her at the hospital. The lady told me yes. After I prayed for her the Lord revealed to me that she had not accepted Christ. So I ministered to her the gospel of Jesus Christ and she said she wanted to accept Christ then I lead her in prayer. God had ordain that He would use this difficult time my mother was going though and my family to bring this lady to Christ. So many times when we are going through its for others as well that they would be helped as we go through. So when you are going through trust God and know His  character. Know that He is wise, loving merciful good and almighty God. Know whatever He has allowed to come against you is for a purpose and He will work it out for the good. Know that He wouldn't have allowed it if he wasn't going to work it out for the good. Also know He is with you and He has equipped you with his peace and grace so you can make it through it. 

You Deserve Better

To whom it may concern a word for anyone who may be going through this or maybe you can pass it on to someone you know is experiencing this in their life.

Treat yourself good. Don't be involved in a relationship with somebody who can't be faithful to you. Don't be someone side dish waiting for them to come to you when they are finish seeing another. You deserve so much better. Your deserve more than being on the corner of someone's plate. It's not worth waiting in the wings to be number one. If the person is cheating on the other to be with you they have already proven to be untrustworthy and have no integrity. Therefore no real good lasting relationship could come from it. Because relationships are built on trust. Don't waist your moments or your body on someone who doesn't  think you deserve to be the main course in their life. Don't waist your thoughts or your finances on someone who doesn't realize that you and God are everything they need. Love  yourself and treat yourself good. Because your worth it.

Letting Go Of Yesterday

Thinking about letting go.

Their was a song in the 70's called "It's So Hard  to say Goodbye to Yesterday".  The song writer was saying he didn't want to let go of the good times he had in the past. Sometimes your life changes and God opens new doors for you. It's hard to let go of things, places and most of all good people. We get accustomed and comfortable with going to the same place and being with the same people. Especially when things are going good. We don't want to leave what we have we want to hold on. But the truth is if we don't say goodbye to yesterday we will not be able to fully walk in and experience all the wonderful things God has for us in our tomorrow. If we don't let go we will not grow and we will miss out on God's purpose for our lives including the new  people and places.  No matter how good yesterday may have been for us. Tomorrow has so much more for us to do and receive in God's kingdom. Isaiah 43:19 says Behold I am doing a new  thing. Do not consider the things of old. Yesterday was good but tomorrow I am looking forward to God doing something greater in me and through me. What about you?

A woman is not A Try on or Test Drive Object

If a man isn't ready to wait to have sex with  his lady until they get married because he says that he has to see if she is sexually compatible with him first. If he believes the popular phrase no one buys shoes until they tried them on or no one buys a car unless he test drives it so he has to try her out first. Then he doesn't even know all that a women has to offer him besides sex. Because a woman a wife is much more than a sexually compatible mate. She is as God define in the book of Genesis your suitable compatible help mate. She will bring in addition to the sex he desire, her love,  her faith in God, her character, her friendship, her personality, wisdom, her encouragement, comfort, her support, knowledge, commitment, strength, joy and peace and the list goes on. A real woman and wife will be their in the storm with her man and will go to God on their behalf. Both  of their faith in God and prayers will help get them through it. If man is just looking for a sexually compatible mate and allowing this to be the premise of him finding a wife he just might find a woman  whose character is shallow who hangs out in the street, sleeps around, spends up all the money on crazy things, doesn't want to take care of the home. He might find she can satisfy his sexual needs but she has no faith in God and has no depth of character and when the storm comes she can't handle it and she is out the door. 

Oh yes their is so much more women and a wife has to offer than being just a sexual compatible mate. 

Proverbs 18: 22 He who finds a wife finds a good thing

We must Obey God

Obedience and trusting God is the only way to get God to move in our behalf. The bible says obedience is better than sacrifice. So we can not beg or bargain with God to get him to move in our situations. I remember a few years ago I was going through a trial and I was praying asking God to move in my situation. One day during the time I was going through this trial I was walking through my home and the Lord spoke to me and he said Virginetta (He called me by my name) and He said I am not going to change my mind about what I told you to do.  You see I had been going to church, preaching and teaching the word, paying my tithes and offerings, giving to others, had my prayer time with the Lord faithfully daily and studying the word of God. Yet God was letting me know that I still needed to do what he told me to do and I could not use those other things as a substitute for what he told me to do. I needed to obey what he was telling me to do at that point in my life. Those sacrificial things I was doing were not going to change His mind about what God told me to do. So We can't use other things as an exchange for what God has tell us to do or not to do. Sometimes  He tells us not to do certain things and we continue to do them. Yet we want him to move on our behalf and we think that those good things we do will cover up what He has told  us not to do.  But they don't because we can't bargain with God. We must obey what God is telling us to do at the time He is speaking it to us. Nothing else can replace our obedience. We must obey God.

Being Committed in marriage

Marriage is about commitment not having goosebumps every time you see each other. Please don't misunderstand me their is nothing wrong with having those feelings or emotions but it has to be more than that in order to stay together. You have to be committed when you don't feel like it when that person is getting on your nerves or when they do something you don't like, because they will.  You have to be willing (be committed) to  do what is right toward each other even when you don't feel like it. Because Love is not just a whole bunch of feelings. It's an action that you decide to do toward someone with or without feelings involved. The Bible says to put on love in Colossians 3:14. So you have to on purpose decide to treat someone with love regardless of how you feel. So sometimes you have to say to yourself I may not feel like it but I am going to on purpose treat my spouse with love today. Then send them some ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Be Good to You

          Ladies please love yourself and treat yourself good. Don't let anybody come into your life and treat you less than the queen you are and deserve to be treated. Don't settle for less when you deserve the best. Get up in the mornings and look in the mirror and say God loves me and I love me. Say it often everyday until you really get it. Please do it for you. It breaks my heart to see so many women treated like garbage only because they have low self worth. I know what it feels like to be mistreated I was in abusive relationship before I married my husband. So I know it's not a good feeling when you are running around with someone who could care less if you died. I do mean running around because you are going no where in that destructive relationship. Please do yourself a favor and receive Gods love for you, start loving yourself and treating yourself good. When you do that you will begin to see you have great value and you will begin to enjoy life in a way you never thought possible. I did it and You can do it with God's help. Call in Him and He will help you.
