Who AM I?

Every year, the month of February is dedicated to Black History! Each time we read a story, whether it is a praise story or a story of remorse and pain; it still brings back to memory the stories of many who suffered tragic losses!

Jesus sat with the unloved: the prostitutes, tax collectors (hustlers), and gamblers!

So many questions unanswered and mysteries still not solved! It truly pains us to not have a firm foundation in our heritage to understand our beginning so we can have a strong finish! We are all trying to secure our identity and still there are missing pieces to the puzzle! Who am I, is the question many ask themselves!

If we uncover the flesh, no one would be able to identify what color you are, because underneath we are all created the same! So why then did God make us all different on the outside? That’s the challenge faced in biblical days and today! Now listen and listen closely, it is to see where your “heart” is!

“For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also”. (Matthew 6:21 KJV)

Your treasure could be the love of money and power, or it could be control! Many feel God created only one race and want to eliminate all of those unlike them; like Paul who imprisoned and killed Christians because he was doing it from a religious view point. Read Acts Chapter 9! God created you and knew who and what He created and said, “It is good”! But the biggest affliction in this world stems back to how many seek prestige and power on earth that weakens the Spirit and gives power to destruction!

Are you of the world (Satan's domain) or are you of the Spirit (Heaven bound)?

And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.

27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. (Genesis 1:26-27 KJV)

That is your identity!

Can I "Love" You This Much?

Negative words tear people down and exposes them. "Every prudent man deals with knowledge, but a [self-confident] fool exposes and flaunts his folly." (Proverbs 13:16 AMPC) (Folly biblical definition: 2a. : criminally or tragically foolish actions or conduct. b. obsolete : evil, wickedness especially : lewd behavior.) Confronting someone is different than badgering someone! Badgering means to repeatedly pester. "By pride and insolence comes only contention, but with well-advised is skillful and Godly Wisdom." (Proverbs 13:10 AMPC) When we lovingly and patiently correct others the response will be peaceful, loving and accepting also; however, words spoken in anger and with the intention to hurt, comes from a malicious and wicked heart. Hurtful words repeatedly play over in a person's mind (like a broken record) of how they don't measure up to the World's standards; therefore putting that person in the forefront of a sure target for Sat...

Do You REALLY Know?

I was in JC Penney a few years ago just browsing and this woman passed me calling a little girl who was in the shoe section to come on, she was ready to leave. The little girl quickly grabbed a specific pair of shoes and walked over to her, pleading for the shoes. Well being social, I commented they were very cute shoes and would look good on her. The Grandmother proceeded with, “She has more than enough shoes at home and although they are cute, we are not buying them”. The little girl begged for a short while and realized she was not going to win this battle, so the shoes went back to the shoe department. As the little girl was leaving, her Grandmother began telling me how she provides for the child quite often and her daughter (the child's Mother) do not have a good relationship. She badly berated her daughter to the point I said in my mind, “God should I pray for this woman”; because from listening to her story, I felt the relationship could not continue is this manner, an...

You're not the ONLY one!

Why do we do that? You know, act like we are the most mistreated people in the world! If you stop to have a “brief” conversation with someone, in 3 minutes of listening to them, they have told you ALL about their troubles; and how it is destroying their lives. Yes, I am on a roll; because, I too, caught myself feeling blue – and for what? For no apparent reason other than Satan putting thoughts into my mind of what is not right in my life; whereas, basically, something didn't go the way I wanted it to, or expected it to, so I immediately went into a “feel sorry” mode! No one has thrown me under the bus other than my selfish desires. If things don't go our way, some have temper tantrums (yes even as adults), many force the issue and hurt others along that way with no conscious of how and who they hurt, and most sit around magnifying their misery by meditating on it to the point of either medicating themselves to numb the pain; or using another means of pleasure that ca...
