Depending on your perspective, growth may indeed be optional, but there are pitfalls to not selecting growth as a viable option in Life. I firmly believe that growth should be mandatory with the caveat that it is YOU that accepts that as an option, knowing the consequences if you do not as opposed to someone mandating growth for you.
My walk with GOD might be personal to me, but why not share in what was initially shared with me? So, I do.
GOD is good!
GOD is great!
And anything to the contrary is complete and utter gibberish!
When I give "my" testimony on how GOD has worked within "my" Life, it is "my" testimony to the goodness and greatness of the LORD.
Some people are afraid to publicly discuss GOD for fear of being challenged by someone that might be more familiar or knowledgeable with HIS Word. But, not me. I could feasibly read scripture, Pray for clarity and understanding of that scripture, recollect on how that scripture was played out in my Life and turn around and write a Blog surrounding "my" story and how GOD worked THROUGH me in order to get TO me. Personal, TO "me."
Why would anyone keep a story worth telling to themselves? So, I do not and I opt to share.
Now keep in mind that "that" scripture and how it is relevant in "my" Life does not dilute the importance of that scripture and it's relevance to "your" Life should we not have the same experience at the same time during our respective walks or vice versa. My walk is not identical to that of another, but according to GOD's plan for "me." We all arrive at our destinations at different intervals throughout our lives and our experiences, levels of commitment, endurance and overall Faith are all unique and for many reasons will indeed vary. But the Blessing shall continue.
Perhaps that is why we should refrain from leaning on our own understanding? I do my absolute BEST to remind myself of this whenever "my" thoughts start creeping into the equation.
"I" might not understand the path of "your" walk with GOD, but should I be mindful of that walk or harmonize the differences? Or should I sing and mind my own "Spiritual Business" so as to not impose what I "think" you or someone else's walk should be? Hence the very reason why I tell "Corey's" story relative to "Corey's" experience.
And in doing so, so many people have responded not only to "my" story, but to how GOD can, will and does work in their lives so that they too can realize that "everyone" does indeed have their own story. The Blessing shall continue.
Variations and interpretations are just that, variations and interpretations. There is no variation with respect to what GOD has done in "Corey's" Life. GOD did it and it is not something disputable with respect to what HE has brought me through. There are no interpretations to what GOD has done in "Corey's" Life. From a first person narrative, I capture and share in HIS Blessing because it is not just for me, although it was "my" experience. Sharing has one purpose and that is to share. There are no variations or interpretations to the word "sharing." HOW you "share" is a completely different thing. I choose to share through my Blogs. So, I do.
Now someone might not like HOW I construct and share in my story, but ALWAYS, to GOD Be the Glory! "If it does not apply, then let it fly," as my cousin would proclaim. "If it is not for me, then let it be," as I would say.
Fear of dialogue does not garner or further expand upon what you do or do not know. Every opportunity to add TO as opposed to subtract FROM puts a Smile upon my face, provides me food for thought and is engaging for all the right reasons, namely to talk, share in and hopefully walk away better than when you initially came into the conversation.
If providing or receiving additional clarity makes me a better communicator, then growth is not optional and I will be the first to extend myself at the opportunity for continued growth.
I Pray for continued growth, greater understanding and the Love of GOD for all that "know" and Love HIM, up to and including the one's that are just getting to "know" HIM, over to the one's that are not afraid to talk "about" HIM, with continued Prayers for the one's the know "nothing" about HIM.
GOD is good!
GOD is great!
And anything to the contrary is complete and utter gibberish!
I gladly share with you "my" story and since everyone has one, what is "your" story ("allthebestallthetime@gmail.com")?
Irrespective of whether it is "my" story or whatever "your" story contains, to GOD be the Glory and that is "unchanged."
But in the meantime and in between time, as always, I wish you, "All the Best, All the Time!"
With GOD, the Blessings shall continue.
Love and My Mother are My Inspiration!
Love and My Mother are My Motivation!
Love and My Mother are My Celebration!
Love and My Mother are My Dedication!
All the Best, All the Time!
Smile and Love Always!
Corey
