"For 1"

[12] Let me ask you this. What would you do if you had 100 sheep and one of them wandered off? Wouldn't you leave the 99 on the hillside and go look for the one that had wandered away? 

Matthew 18:12 CEV

It could have been 99 people or 99 dollars and God still would have left the people and the money to go after YOU- the one who is lost, the one who is hurting and thinking about ending it all.

Because He's a God that will leave whoever and whatever in search of you just because you need Him.

And while people may laugh and make fun of your difference-that thing that makes you feel like an outsider. God has already accepted you as one of the others who belong to Him.

In ‭John 10:

He says, I have other sheep that are not of this sheep pen. I must bring them also. They too will listen to my voice, and there shall be one flock and one shepherd. 

John 10:16 NIV

Beloved, You may not look like the average  "SELF- Proclaimed" Christian. You may have tattoos all over your body.

Guess whoelse has at least 2 tatoos; one on the palm of each hand?

[16]  Behold, I have indelibly imprinted (tattooed a picture of) you on the palm of each of My hands; [O Zion] your walls are continually before Me.

Isaiah 49:16 AMPC

Plus, Jesus had severe scarring in His hands, and side from what was done to Him on The Cross (scars that He let Thomas touch in John 20)

So,There is no need for you to feel awkward or out of place with God. You are His. Your life is in Him. LIVE for Him, in spite of what people say about you.

Who are they to judge another man's servant?

Romans 14:4

YOU ARE GOD'S SERVANT. 

Until Next Sunday.

"Faith Struggles"

John 20 paints a beautiful picture of Jesus being patient with Thomas who was struggling to believe. Thomas had his doubts. 

So, Jesus showed up and allowed him to see, allowed him to touch His scars.

John 20:24-28 NIV

Beloved,

Stop beating yourself up because your faith is not where you desire it to be.

There once was a time when you believed without seeing, you had blind faith early on as a young Christian just getting to know Jesus.

But now that some years have passed and life has happened over and over life has happened, you still believe, but like Thomas you have your doubts too. 

SOMEBODY:

You are really struggling with what you can't see. Like Thomas, you're struggling to believe without proof. You need proof and you hate that you need proof, you hate the way things are now, but you need proof.

Rather than convict you as though you were a harden criminal deservant of time served...God says, Call to Me. 

It's just that simple...

God is not mad at you, but He wants you to call to Him (in prayer- talk to Him like you would talk to a friend) and He will show you proof of what you cannot see, proof of what you cannot believe right now.

[3]  Call to Me and I will answer you and show you great and mighty things, fenced in and hidden, which you do not know (do not distinguish and recognize, have knowledge of and understand).

Jeremiah 33:3 AMPC

Even though you're of little faith right now...God is patient, loving towards you and it's that lovingkindness that's drawing you now as you read this.

Jeremiah 31:3 KJV

BELOVED, I'm praying for the full restoration of your faith.

Just as Thomas' faith was restored after having seen and touched Jesus' nailed scarred hands etc.

‭[27] Then he said to Thomas, “Put your finger here; see my hands. Reach out your hand and put it into my side. Stop doubting and believe."

[28] AND Thomas said to him, “My Lord and my God!”

John 20:27-28 NIV

Until Next Sunday.

"God Knows"

[25] Near the cross of Jesus stood his mother, his mother’s sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene. [26] When Jesus saw his mother there, and the disciple whom he loved standing nearby, he said to her, “Woman, here is your son,” [27] and to the disciple, “Here is your mother.” From that time on, this disciple took her into his home. 

John 19:25-27 NIV

Beloved,

God knows you did ALL you could for your mother, for the grandmother who raised you while they were here on the earth.

Like Jesus did for his mother prior to going to The Cross... You made the best decision you could for the well-being of your loved one for as long as they had left.

So, Weep if you must on today. There's nothing wrong with feeling what you feeling. Grief is different for everyone...

But God says, Don't allow it to steal the joy (the strength) you have found in Him. I AM your strength.  The joy of the Lord is your strength.  Nehemiah 8:10 (NIV)

Though, You may be weeping, enduring today... Psalms 30:5 (NKJV) I AM your strength. 

Dry your eyes, find a reason AMONG the memories of what was to laugh, to rejoice even. 

God says, Because in My Presence is the fullness of joy. Psalms 16:11 (NIV) That scripture is for YOU here on earth and for your mother, your grandmother here in My Presence.  You both have access. For I am omnipresent-God everywhere. 

So, Weep (if you must), Endure (if you must)...

But don't forget to laugh, to rejoice, to take this opportunity wherever you are to get in His Presence.

You did all you could...God knows. So, Don't let sorrow, regret, unanswered questions weigh you down on today.

God knows.

Until Next Sunday.

"No Weapon!!"

[17] No weapon formed against you shall prosper...

Isaiah 54:17 NKJV

BELOVED,

The size of the weapon doesn't matter and it doesn't even matter, if the person holding the weapon is well known with enough power to influence a small army.

The bible STILL says NO WEAPON formed against you shall prosper  and NO WEAPON means NO WEAPON!!

It will form, but it will not prosper, no matter how many times they try...And some of you have enemies that are relentless- they are determined to see you fall, to see you fail, to see you miss out on what God has for you.

Much like how Jezebel and her husband (Ahab) were determined to put an end to Elijah, but couldn't. 

‭1 Kings 19:1-2 MSG‬

[1-2] Ahab reported to Jezebel everything that Elijah had done, including the massacre of the prophets. Jezebel immediately sent a messenger to Elijah with her threat: “The gods will get you for this and I’ll get even with you! By this time tomorrow you’ll be as dead as any one of those prophets.”

Even though, Ahab had reported back to Jezebel (his wife) everything Elijah had done, she threatened him, scared him, but couldn't stop him.

You see, It doesn't matter that they're watching you, reporting your every move. 

It doesn't matter that they're gossiping about you, plotting how to get back at you.

God STILL says, No weapon formed against you shall prosper and No weapon means no weapon!!

Just so you know:

Elijah did outlive Ahab and you will outlive your enemies too and Jezebel was eaten by dogs fulfilling Elijah's prophecy in 2 Kings 9:30-37

*Her husband died in 1 Kings 22 (Elijah was still an ACTIVE prophet at the time).

Until Next Sunday,
