"Do Not Allow What Others Say and Do To Alter the Natural Course of Your Heart!"

Abrupt changes in your Life does not mean that God has cast you aside. My personal testimony has the Lord saving me from myself, by not allowing me to make a colossal mistake of epic proportions, from leading with and following my own heart.

What I have learned in Life is that, just because your heart is designed to giving, does not mean that the other heart, the receiving heart, will alter its natural design and internal make-up, in an appreciating manner that will otherwise convince you that it is "you," and not what you can or cannot do for the receiving heart, that they are in Love with.

Right on in steps the Lord, plucking and removing you from what you are about to do to you, for the vision that He has for you is so much greater than the sight and light in which we see ourselves!

Thank You Jesus!!!

Thank You for saving me from me!

Thank You for removing me from self-destruction!

Thank You for securing my foundation!

Thank You for not allowing what others say and/or do to alter the natural course of my heart!

Thank You for the continuous deposits that you make within my Life, thus making me a stronger servant to you, for NO servant is greater than his Master!

Thank You for the ReVival of my Spirit!

Thank You for the ReNewal of my mind!

Thank You for the ReDemption of my soul, for everything that I repent to You!

Thank You for the knowledge and wisdom of King Solomon, that provides me, by way of my Sword, the Words for clarity and understanding!

Thank You for the High Praises of King Solomon's Father Kind David, for first demonstrating what it means to glorify Your Name, giving You ALL of the Honor, Glory, and Praise, that one mouth and one's actions can muster!

Love!
Even after your heart has been broken!

Forgive!
Even when you do not understand why or what has changed!

Wisdom!
Ask God for a wise heart that will not soon depart from your Life, during your Life.

Knowledge!
Pray for knowledge! For what we "think" we understand shall always be a microcosm for what we actually do comprehend!

Heart!
"Do Not Allow What Others Say and Do, To Alter the Natural Course of Your Heart!"

May the mistakes of yesterday, bring Clarity to what was done wrong, providing Knowledge for what not to do going and growing forward, and Wisdom to recognize when the flesh attempts to revert back to what it thinks it knows.

To God Be the Glory!

In the eyes of God, "sin is sin." Do not judge another person because they have or they do, sin differently than you. In the eyes of God, "sin is sin."

Therefore, "Do Not Allow What Others Say and Do, To Alter the Natural Course of Your Heart!"

"Yes To Your Will!"

Walking tall, yet not alone, irrespective of what the visual might tell you. For it is the unseen that I am trusting to guide me, as opposed to the sight that could have ruined me.

Oft times it is our very sight that blurs the greater vision that God sees us in, that we have yet to see ourselves in. Therein lies the trust, where God is challenging you to step into the you that He made you to be.

Adam and Eve were living within God's perfect vision. That is until their disobedience compelled their sight to see outside of God's perfect vision for them. And in doing so, they fell into a waywardness and outside of God's preparedness for what He had purposed for them.

But, be not sad, for discipline is the Lord's way of Loving us.

Rejoice, for God shall continuously cover us.

Weeping may have endured through the night, but that Jesus Joy awaits our rising in the morning.

I do not proclaim to know what God's Will is for the Life of Corey, but I declare a concession, that captures my confession, on the strength of God's perfection, I trust in His Divine direction, His Supreme protection, and His Glorious selection, that I will do exactly what He says I shall, with whom He says I shall do it with, when He says I shall do it and where it shall be done.

I speak the universal language of surrender, by throwing my hands into the air, as I say, "Yes To Your Will!"

"Go Where I've Not Been"

Physically, my passport and I have been all over the world, consuming cultures, languages, foods, time differences, customs, religions, local dialects, differing thoughts, opposite beliefs, similar thoughts and close to similar beliefs.

But of all the places that I have been, and of all the places that I will one day go, there will always be a place to "Go Where I've Not Been."

This place does not necessarily require a physical passport, but more like a mental passport, that will allow me to travel to a place that is free of restrictions, parameters, and all of the things that would otherwise make us different in the physical world.

This type of place cannot be arrived at by merely booking a reservation, with passport in tow, making your way to the airport, awaiting your scheduled departure. No, this type of place is a "New Level," one in which requires a mental consumption of what you should partake next, as opposed to the next steps that one should make.

The physical aspects of Life always seem to be the easiest of things in which to undertake. For it is the transformation of the mind that is the hardest of things to remake.

To "Go Where I've Not Been" requires me to do what I've not done. You only tire of losing, when you're ready to say, "I've won!"

"Within the Spirit and in the Presence of the Lord"

I entered into the house of the Lord with confusion on my mind, but upon my exit, I departed with the type of extreme clarity that can only be found "Within the Spirit and in the Presence of the Lord."

We have not, because we ask not. So I asked, and it was granted.

When the Lord has your name written in His daily agenda, I have learned that you can effectively scratch your name off of your own agenda, thus relinquishing yourself of what you wanted to do for yourself, so that you can do all of what God has called you to do, for Him.

No servant is greater than his Master! There is nothing that can be done to you, that was not first done to Him, yet will always pale in comparison. The demonstration of the ultimate betrayal and alienation, is the representation of Christ, having paid the ultimate price, for our Salvation.

"Within the Spirit and in the Presence of the Lord," I am able to disconnect from the discontent, and pull the plug on the discord.

Confusion abated, with clarity reinstated, for I am who God says I am, irrespective of whatever is debated.

"Within the Spirit and in the Presence of the Lord," I have found that the cost of my existence is worth the price, that all of His riches can afford.

"Love's Pure Intentions"

One can never be too sure about the intentions of another. But, your own intentions should have absolute clarity!

You cannot control what someone else might say and/or do. But, you can and should be able to control ALL that you say and/or do.

Sometimes the intentions and actions Lovingly coincide with one another. Other times they are successfully merged into one another. And then there are those times where they are parallel parked onto the path that you are traveling upon. Unfortunately, not everyone can parallel park with the same ease as others.

For some, if it is not a position that they can just drive into, therein ensues the perceived difficulty. If they are not the driver of the vehicle of intentions, therein lies another perception of difficulty. Lastly, if they do not like the vehicle that is transporting said intentions, you can wind up and find yourself coasting downhill.

Be pure in your intentions when you involve people in your lives.

Be honest about who you are and what you are.

Everyone has a past, but the past is exactly where it belongs, IN THE PAST!

Believe not the words, if their actions are in absentia.

Do not allow people and things to re-write your story and you just co-sign it as gospel. God authors our stories that we co-sign as gospel through our intentions and actions.

When you Love,
Love honestly,
Love earnestly,
Love habitually,
Love feverishly,
Love intentionally,
Love decidedly,
Love friendly,
Love touchingly,
Love affectionately,
Love candidly,
Love harmoniously,
Love infectiously,
Love peacefully,
Love Lovingly.

Do not ever deviate from Love! Embrace all of the facets and components to Love, so that it can create the vehicle that you will one travel in on Love's journey, irrespective of its arrival to and in your Life. Be conscious of your intentions, so as not to hurt people along the way. Feelings are delicate and we all own some of the responsibility to make sure that we do not break things or people along the way.

Receive all that Love has for you and be absolutely sure that you bring all that you have for Love, to Love as well.

Bring all of your best, so long as it is not void, of "Love's Pure Intentions."

Love!

"I Love Your Flaws"

I have never met a flaw, that I could not appreciate!

I never made an attempt, in which I put forth no effort!

I never refused to accept a past, that had nothing to do with me!

I never refused to view a past, that has everything to do with me!

When I learned what Love truly meant, I never used it as I previously did!

When I began to comprehend the verb in Love, my actions became my words!

When the Word first spoke Agape to me, I devoured the notion that such could exist and cultivated the possibilities within my heart!

Your flaws...Good thing my heart doesn't care what your mouth says.

We should all Love our flaws! Someone out there Loves you because of them, and wants to Love you inspite of them, and Love you despite your protest of them, Loving you and them!

Embrace your flaws and the accompanying Love that wants to Love you and your flaws because you do deserve to be Loved, irrespective of how undeserving you might feel about yourself. Fortunately, what others think about us is none of our business. But, the business of Love is everybody's business!

I've embraced my flaws! = CHECK!
I Love me! = CHECK!
I deserve to be Loved! = CHECK!
I Promise to Love! = CHECK!

Do not allow the fear nor your flaws, to ever alter the natural course of your heart!

My heart and, "I Love Your Flaws."

"Defend the Truth"

Do not allow the words, thoughts and actions of others to halt, hinder or derail your Life's mission and purpose.

When you are under and being attacked, know that this is a part of the preparation that God is allowing to happen to you, so that He may groom you through and through, in order to strengthen you for more of what He has in store for you.

Do not ever feel compelled to "Defend the Truth," for it shall always stand on its own two feet. When you know what you know in your heart and through your presence to be true, the attempts of lies will try to upstage the truth, but the character of truth is not a trained thespian. Rather lies are the trained thespians that perpetrate the truth in their method acting expertise, that is blatantly transparent to the truth!

The cloud of smoke that you witness is the unsettled dust in the wake of the lies being scattered by the truth. Similar to that of Christ as He happened upon the demon possessed man and the lies of the demon's existence were compelled to acknowledge His Holiness, knowing that it could no longer reside within His presence and begged for refuge in the swine, prior to their inevitable demise.

Do not be afraid or become bewildered when people abruptly exit your Life. View it as the Lord's protection over a Life that He has purposed for something greater than what you thought you had to begin with. Allow their presence to exit your Life, enter the swine and cast themselves down. And in all ways, acknowledge the Lord with YOUR words, thoughts and actions that will NOT halt, hinder or derail your Life's mission and purpose.

Even BEFORE the daggers have been removed from their sheaths, I take refuge in the Lord.

Before Judas betrayed Christ, He ALWAYS took refuge in and with the Lord.

When I lost that job, I took refuge in the Lord.

When my enemies mounted up, my refuge was in the Lord.

When loyalty was thrown in the recycle bin to never be used again, I took refuge in the Lord.

Weeping may endure for the night, but JOY, JOY, JOY, made its presence known by coming to me this morning!

"Protect Me O'Lord" as I prepare for JOY! JOY! JOY!
JOY! JOY! JOY!
JOY! JOY! JOY!

"Higher Standard"

The level that we see ourselves is habitually less than and lower than the level that God has placed us on Life's shelves. The placement has everything to do with the visibility factor, for what we are purposed to do, was meant to be seen, as an example of what He is capable of, once we submit ourselves unto Him.

Examples representing what the solution looks like and not what the problem tells you that it is. God is solution-oriented and frets not about problems that He is capable of permanently vanquishing on a whim. But, the answers to those problems are not contained within us, but through Him.

The standards on which we stake a claim should not permit us to see with limited visibility. For it is through our "Higher Standards" for ourselves that we will see clearer and farther as we continue to ascend to heights unprecedented and explore the possibilities of what was once thought to be limited.

Thank God that He does not see us as we see ourselves!

Thank God that He places us high upon the shelves and out of the reach of limitations and impossibilities!

Thank God that He sometimes removes me from that shelf and holds me in His hands in order to reveal His Might, and to further demonstrate that contained within His Will, is the ability to persevere and bare witness to the art of fighting, without the actual fight.

He placed me back on the shelf after having administered to my heart. I concede to the stitching of the Spiritual wealth, that makes whole, each and every one of my many parts.

So, pardon the visual of my flesh as my stitching begins to heal. Being held to a "Higher Standard" is all about and has everything to do, with His Will.

Hold yourself to a....

"Life's Difference Makers"

"Life's Difference Makers" do not have the easiest of tasks to undertake, but the direct placement of each of their assignments confirms that the Lord does not necessarily call the qualified, rather He qualifies the called, through His work, their assignments and the growth contained within all of the above.

The ease in which one accomplishes things should be anything but. The appreciation of accomplishing such things should yield a greater understanding of what it means to be chosen by God to do a work, His work, that He has thus assigned.

There will be times of uncertainty, but none of His work will be ambiguous, should you remove yourself from the mechanical aspects of His Will, and just totally submit you unto Him, and trust what He has and why He has you assigned to do what you might not readily understand.

The Lord's Will being done is not contingent upon the comprehension of a logical mind that knows not even a fraction of the magnitude and colossal impacts that the Will shall complete. Defeated is the mindset that has its mind made up about how the glorious enactments should actually be enacted.

"Life's Difference Makers" show up to make a difference and depart having made that difference, irrespective of their knowledge of such. For they trust that His divine presence has vicariously gifted the situation since the Will shall be done, with or without their consent.

Choose to relinquish you, in lieu of Him, to make a difference in them, whoever they might be.

"A King in Her Eyes"

There is one undeniable look within a woman's eyes that is universally accepted and recognized, should you be in the know. But too often its recognition is lost behind the blindness of one's heart, that is too selfish to see the goodness that he is already in possession of.

One form of communication of a woman's Love to her man can be found in how she looks at her man, and the accompanying overflow of Love that beams from within, that is revealed and exposed within her eyes, should you be in the know.

A woman's eyes will tell a man everything that he needs to know from the moment those eyes have made contact with the intended recipient. You will always know what a selfless heart needs to know in the instant that her eyes start communicating with yours, should you be in the know.

Failure to adhere to the unspoken communication is probably indicative of a heart that could use a little softening along the way. You will want to be that man once you learn what the lifelong benefits of being that man entails, should you be in the know.

To BE that man, requires you to BE a man, and inspires her to BE the woman FOR that man, whose eyes are always talking to him, whether he's listening or not, whose eyes are always addressing him, whether he knows it or not and whose eyes she gives her complete and undivided attention to, "A King in Her Eyes."

Be in the know, so that you can BE that man!

"Smiling For Vie"

I began to avail myself to Christ and in succession He began to reveal Himself to me. Me waiting on Him was not the perceived reality, rather in all actuality, He was the one that had been waiting on me.

I was never a believer in Love at first sight, that is, until my vision was restored. The manner in which its restoration was to unfold, had everything to do with my obedience and His truth to be told.

Instead of searching for IT, I sought Him and within, is where I found IT. There she was, in all of her beautiful splendor and glory as the flash of Life before me, uprooted the old, simultaneously planting the new, well on its way to cultivating what we both knew to be true, in our hearts.

Everything means nothing, if everything has not the first inkling of Love, its purpose in our lives and our inclination to embrace all that we once never believed in, but through transformation, His confirmations are all that will ever be needed.

I concede to His Will and I succeed within the same!

I Love as closely to Him as my realm of existence so allows. But, my ending is only His beginning and therein, within His obedience, I found you and I fell in Love with you, at first sight. The former had not the inkling, but the latter's same heart was transformed by the actions and demonstrations of Your Love. My availability to my own sensibilities gave me vision for ALL possibilities, with Vie.

In His time, all that was purposed will be received by the intended recipients. The name on the Blessings are not transferable, for what is for me is strictly for me, including you. For what is for you is strictly for you, including me.

I submit myself unto something greater than myself. In submission to Love, my aforementioned admission compels the heart to speak on my behalf and to respond in a like manner. The confusion, chaos and ambiguity have long since been evicted from Love's premises and shall never represent nor reside within the Will of His Truth.

Well in Love with Him, I desperately sought His face and in Love with you, He has brought me to this place. To know Christ is to Love. To Love in Christ is to Love. To Love for Christ is to Love. To Love because of Christ is to Love. And to Love you Vie, means that I know what Love means to Him, and with that knowledge, I shall never separate His Truth from His Will, by reverting back to disobedience, possibly risking and forsaking the destination of this Love for you, the recipient of all of this Love, from me.

Glory Be to Him,
For He brought me to you.
It is His divine direction,
That has me well prepared for two.

Thank You Jesus for being Faithful to Your Holy Word!!! Thank You for first demonstrating Your Love, affording me the opportunity to grasp the concept and to live within the construct of a fortified union that You, stand guard to.

May I Love you Vie, as my imitation to Love as Christ becomes the reality, void of any impersonation to be something of someone else, but to be the absolute best of what Christ first taught and has purposed for us. May you see Love, hear Love, smell Love, touch Love, be Love and feel Love each and every time that you see me, hear me, smell me, touch me and feel me.

May the representation of Love forever resign its position, thus forever allowing Love to represent itself.

I Love You Vie!
C'est la Vie!
C'est Moi Vie!

"I Will Always Love You"

When we became closer, the throng of those preying on our strong bond became longer and more intense in their fervent desire to tear us apart. But before I even knew that You first Loved me, You already Loved me.

You knew what they were ultimately capable of and You protected me as You prepared me, to Love like no other and declare it to be, in the face of and in the midst of the strongest adversity. Your Love for me taught me the resiliency defined by the type of Love that You gave me, teaching me to give it back to Thee and to speak of the joy by way of my Life's demonstration, so that they too may know of Your Love, starting within my residence, spilling over into the workplace, over a cup of coffee, and in the presence, by merely being present, as Love takes attendance.

I have never known of or a Love such as Yours. It puts any and everything at a complete disadvantage, for to pale in comparison would be the best form of flattery that another Love could possibly ever garner. And I do my absolute best at imitating Your Love, flattering You, every chance that Love so allows.

May I always breathe in Your Love, forever transforming me to more Love, exhalting You in the name of Love, and exhaling the transformation of Your breath of Love, to a perpetually contagious demonstration of the importance of Love, Your Love.

May the capacity to Love, never part ways with my heart's ability to comprehend whatever Love needs to tell me, whatever Love needs to show me, or whatever Love needs to grow me to be.

It is because of You that I know that, "I Will Always Love You."

"God's Scripture Has Everything to Do with Your Personal!"

The closer that you become to God, the harder, the more rampant the attacks are against your credibility, your intelligence, your character, your strength, your moral fiber and all other personal attributes and components that compose your existence. But, it is of vital importance to recognize what is going on. It has nothing to do with "you," and everything to do with the Truth that resides within you. You will not be without trials and the attempts at condemnation from a jury of your peers, preying upon any and all of your fears, hence the reason why God did not give us the Spirit of fear. Who knows the enemy better than He?

Without fear, your ability to focus remains crystal clear. You become adamant about being adamant and only God's adamant Love can penetrate your adamant heart.

The people and things that tempt your Spiritual resolve, will inevitably falter, wither and dissolve, after they have been used to boast about the Love of the Lord, by way of their interaction with you and your response to the Him within you, by soaring above and beyond the trials and their curfew.

You see, the trials have an expiration date and an enforced curfew that is realized at the very moment that you invoke the Spirit of the Lord and make a declaration that "Greater is He that is within me, than he that is within the world."

Do not lay claim to things that do not bare your name. Things such as: failure, loser, fearful, quitter, unfocused, unfaithful and noncommittal. They are all lies based upon a structure whose foundation is solid fear.

Declare what God says that you are and live within that defined purpose, irrespective of who is not pleased, so long as it is pleasing in the eyes of the Lord, in harmonious discord with what they thought God's Blessings could not afford. If the only thing that He cannot do is fail, then prep for victory, for you shall prevail!

"To/From/Within"

"Growth is Love!"

"Growth is Love," irrespective of the pain points that you feel along the way. The victory of Love cannot be obtained, until the growth has been sustained. The associated pain points are not relative to the components of Love, rather the pain points are directly associated with the transformation that we must go through in order to be compliant with Love.

Along the way, expect to encounter road blocks and resistance, that remain insistent upon confusion and chaos, placing it and themselves squarely and directly into the path of your growth.

But, do not waiver in your mission to accomplish what only you can accomplish for yourself. For I cannot make you better. He (man) cannot make you better. She cannot make you better. They cannot make you better. We cannot make you better. Only YOU, can make YOU better, along with Him.

Growth, to retrain yourself from the old to the new, that now represents you. It will not be easy, but what worth having, ever is?

Inevitably the growing pains subside when the thoughts of our minds, the feelings of our hearts and the efforts of our lives begin to coincide, with that of the Love of Christ, the Compassion of the Lord, and the Brilliance of our existence through the vision that He initially purposed for our lives.

Yes, "Growth is Love!"

"The Act of Impartation"

The experiences of today, are the testimonies of tomorrow. The testimony of tomorrow brings about an awareness to those that have yet to experience the content contained within your testimonial.

By way of your testimony, "The Act of Impartation" becomes an absorbed reality that will be consumed by an open mind and a receptive heart, that is all too eager to insatiably devour, all that you are willing to impart.

What you go through, is designed to grow you, into all that God has purposed for you. To not just live on purpose, your purpose, but to live WITHIN your purpose, focusing on the tasks that your Life will accomplish, within the timeframe of the Lifetime that it is supposed to be accomplished in.

"Smoke-Filled Past"

They just simply refuse to let the past go, blossom and commence to grow, into the flower from the seeds of Love that were planted, with the initial sow.

Steadily and stubbornly anchored in a past that only THEY recognize, out of their refusal to move and leave it behind, exactly where it belongs.

The future does not want any part of the past, unless the experience from it, can participate and contribute to it, so that the same mistakes do not occur during it.

Do not get caught up in what you might think is a reflection of, when it is clear that it is just a projection of, a place where they still hold residency, to a society that forbids growth out of fear that the town of the past, will one day become ghost.

The expectation is for your presence to keep IT company. But in all actuality, it does not play by the same rules that it requires of you. For misery herself, does not keep good company!

She yearns for your comfort and her deception comes in the form of the familiar. But had she been good to you in the first place, her name would be other than Misery, and she would have accompanied you on and down your path to growth. But, she was adamantly firm in where she was planted and promised to refuse growth if she was ever uprooted, hence her desperate need for your company.

The past is exactly where it belongs! Looking back only serves as motivation for how far you have actually come!

The billowing clouds are that of a "Smoke-Filled Past." It's full throttle, for my future is not compatible with my past!

"The Life Lesson is Within the Margins"

Getting upset about what people say and/or do, as it is relative to you, equates to a lesson not learned.

You see, God will use people to do a work within you, irrespective of your opinion or approval, from you. The caveat to such a lesson requires a relationship with the Father and a trust within Him, that what happens to and in your Life, is all in accordance to His will.

Worry not about the challenges that you are faced with or the naysayers that are anticipating your downfall.
One single deposit from God, will negate it, them and all!

It is impossible to comprehend the brilliance OF the Lord, hence the importance of trust needed IN the Lord.

So, allow people to do, say and be who they really are. "The Life Lesson is Within the Margins," with an extension that does not extend too far.

When God is strengthening you up for a work that has yet to be understood by you, expect to encounter opposition, adversity, ignorance and blatant mediocrity. Those and that of a similar ilk, are the clues that what is happening to or around you, is not personal TO you, but personal to the miraculous work that God has commissioned to come THROUGH you, by preparing you for what He is about to reveal TO you.

The magnificent brilliance of the Lord, is only comparable to that of the magnificent brilliance, of the Lord!

Going forth, recognize things for what they truly are. You will gain unprecedented strength when said opposition, adversity, ignorance and blatant mediocrity are in the midst. Just Smile and know that God is at work and it must be according to His will that you are in the presence of such. But know that His presence is greater than anything that you will ever face or encounter in your Life.

The revelation by the demonstration of insecurities and weaknesses OF them, were designed and meant to be the strength and endurance that the experience will thus deposit WITHIN you. God does not give you anything that He cannot trust you with. For in solid preparation, you will rise above it all, and be promoted to where God wanted you to be all along.

So, allow people to do, say and be who they really are. "The Life Lesson is Within the Margins," with an extension that does not extend too far.

"Thank You Jesus for Making the Ultimate Sacrifice for _________!!!"

The Love of Christ, demonstrated in the "Ultimate Sacrifice," humbles me to an infinite flow of tears, that will extend far beyond that of my Life's years.

He KNEW, that He was going to be betrayed!

He KNEW, that He was going to die!

But, on that third day, my God, my Lord and Savior also KNEW, that He was going to rise!

"You can destroy This Temple, but I will raise it again in three days!"

Thank You Jesus!!!

May you rise to another glorious day and know that the sacrifices of your Life, will never superficially, individually, collectively, monumentally, exponentially or aggregately, amount to the "Ultimate Sacrifice," that He made on behalf of you, so that you COULD rise to another glorious day!

"All Consuming Love"

Do not ever allow whatever is said or done to you, to alter the natural course of your heart. Do not ever part ways from the genuine Love that resides within your heart, for its residency is not for the "soul" purpose of complacency, rather the "sole" purpose is meant to gradually expand upon its capacity, to explore its infinite ability, to Love beyond all comprehension and capabilities, thus introducing you to unparalleled potential that can only be identified within the realm of existence of someone that has already arrived at such a Love.

You might find yourself by yourself for a little while, but know that someone will indeed emerge from a similar prior experience as you, ready to step right on into the new. So, exercise patience as you await their arrival. For you too had to grow through, in order to embrace and appreciate all of the new.

Lest we forget, all that we once were before the day we that we actually met, the next chapter of our lives, to Love and embrace, not harbor and despise.

You see, only Love surpasses Love, for only Love can outdo and outperform the true essence of Love, to have, to hold, To God Be the Glory, to change, to mold, To God Be the Glory, surrender in complete and utter trust, To God Be the Glory, Love is a necessary must! To God Be the Glory!

Love is to never overwhelm and to never render one ineffective. But Love, an "All Consuming Love," will fill the voids, up to and including the ones that you know nothing about, grow wherever it is planted, taking absolutely nothing for granted, taking root near a body of water, in order to eternally quench the thirst that Love so demands of it.

Forever supplying a need that Life must not ever do without. Plant your "All Consuming Seeds of Love," Love and nurture them, and witness them Sprout.

"Behind Me"

It matters not what is in front of me, for I will always have King Jesus in front, beside and "Behind Me." To guide my steps, direct the path and illuminate His way, hovering over my every movement, making adversity sit and stay.

The influence of my opportunity, that comes through His Heavenly, takes the first and makes them last and moves me past the last into His Promise for me.

I need not be first, in order to quench the earthly thirst, since the position that I'm in, is akin to an inevitable win.

I caveat my own thought process, from time to time my flesh will indeed digress. But mistakes are only temporal, sans the permanency of any kind of mess.

Finding one's inner Peace will lessen the chances of becoming lost, embracing excellence and shunning mediocrity. It matters not what is in front of me, for I will always have King Jesus in front, beside, within and "Behind Me."

"The You Within Their Me"

Most of the egregious things perpetrated against you are usually done by the ones that are closest to you. The appreciation of your demonstration will always fall on the deaf ears that are trained to tune you out, unless of course their need FOR you, precedes their need to HEAR you.

The selfishness of people will only be outdone by the selfishness of other people. For the acts and actions of those as equally insensitive and self-centered can only garner the attention of that of a similar reflection.

What they see when they see selflessness is a way that they do not see themselves growing in. The amount of change that would need to occur would essentially render them unidentifiable, no longer recognizable even by the ones that know their selfishness the best: themselves.

Their resistance to your selflessness is not a personal attack towards you, rather it is a silent recognition and an outward demonstration of all that they refuse to be, since in order for them to be, they would have to change, "The You Within Their Me."

Do not take personally, the refusal of others to be the best that they can be. The problem is not yours, unless of course you adopt it as such. Just because they temporarily compel you to feel it, does not mean that you ever have to touch.

The Blessing that accompany's the truth, is an abundance of Peace that can never be removed.

Continue to be the tree by the river that never has a need to quench its thirst!

Continue to thrive even when selfishness refuses to ever put you first!

Continue to evolve when stagnancy tempts you to join the fray!

Continue to look past and not at the mediocrity that habitually permeates!

Continue to be the best that God has purposed you in your Life to be!

Embrace the testimony that the "The You Within Their Me," forbids them to see.

The Blessing that accompany's the truth, is an abundance of Peace that can never be removed.

"Become, All the Best, All the Time!"

Responsibility has both backward and forward compatibility. It extends far beyond your reach while within that same reach, at the same time.

Seeing that something needs to be done does not exempt your participation, just because your name has not been assigned to the task.

We pull ourselves out, by first picking ourselves up, as we make the better truly better by proclaiming it in CAPITALIZED and emphasized letters, succeeded by our actions that marvel in the revelation that things are indeed, BETTER!

The responsibility of such compels one to touch, from the fingertips to the palm of their hands and grasp the importance of being the difference to something better, by first making the difference to be, better.

The prescription lasts as long as the ailment does. But the subscription extends to the far reaches of your existence, catapulting your better into a hemisphere that you could not even fathom, even if your Life depended on it.

The miraculous intentions of God to redefine the dimensions within ones Life, that now cover the landscape of the very things that used to live on the outskirts of your former perimeter.

Do, because you can.
Be, because you are.
Live, with every breath.
Give, till there is nothing left.
And then, do it all over again.

The significance of the insignificant will magnificently graduate your thought process, to look beyond what you are thought to be looking at! Don't look at them, look past them!

Do not expect others to witness your vision. Had their visibility been synonymous with that of yours, the effort to sell them on it would be free! You will get it, when you got it. And if you cannot birth your Life's purpose, then make sure that you "Adopt It!"

When it is all said and done,
When the victory has been fought for and eventually won,
And
When the blood has made your thought process anew and cleansed your heart, thus acknowledging the sacrifice of the Son.

You will have relinquished it all in stubborn fashion, with no recollection of compassion, unless you chose to give it up, so that you can be lifted up, to another level of understanding, beyond that of the perimeter of "your own" understanding.

May what I do bring about zero confusion, and may who I am bring about a clarity through the demonstration of my existence, within a world that follows the latest and greatest, as opposed to seeking the greatness that exists within themselves.

When it is all said and done and I ascend to the Heavenly terrain,
The process of impartation shall voluntarily compel me to take nothing,
For "Only Love Remains."

"But, I Still Believe"

You will never know just how close you actually were when you commit yourself to giving up on all that was purposed just for your consumption.

Instead, we allow ourselves to consume a delicacy that the Spirit within us does not want nor allow us to ever afford, for inevitable bankruptcy will surely loom in the wake of us living our lives based off of the deposits that fear wants to make within our lives.

Fear does exactly what fear is supposed to do. When you consume fear, you never get full. It will continue to spoon feed you, not for the purposes of your satisfaction, but out of the insatiable appetite that it has to destroy the you within you, by having you permanently subscribe to something less than the greater than that the Lord Almighty has in store for you and your Life.

The Life within was first deposited by a source that does not succumb to the rise and fall of a man-made market, nor the daily cyclical trends of what is thought to be important versus what actually is of immense importance.

Do not allow people, places or things to prohibit, inhibit or distract you from accomplishing your goals in Life. Whatever they say about you is none of your business...Smile! Whatever they do, so long as they keep their hands to themselves, amounts to nothing but an exercise in futility.

Prior to becoming a 3rd Degree Black Belt, I used to think that I had to "prove something" to those that thought less of me and my abilities. But when I discovered my own strength within, I felt the need to "prove nothing" to everyone that thinks less of me and my abilities because my credentials speak for themselves.

Prior to knowing the Lord, I used I used to think that I had to "prove something" to those that thought less of me and my abilities. But when I discovered His strength within me, I felt the need to "prove nothing" to everyone that thinks less of me and my abilities because His credentials speak for themselves.

On my way to becoming a 4th Degree Black Belt and the more strength that I see in myself only serves as confirmation of the enormous strength that I have through the Father, His Son and the ever-present Holy Spirit.

The stronger that I become is indicative of the greater presence of Him that is within me, irrespective of personal accomplishments, but in recognition of the accomplishments that can be obtained when He is a constant presence IN your Life. But do not take my word for it, see for yourself!

I do not need to see in order for me to be, for He has already conceived. The truth is alive, although the lies are rampant, "But, I Still Believe!"

"Every Aspect of My Life"

Extending further than the level of comprehension that the human eyes can see and way beyond the perimeter of the 24 hours of the day that is meant to be kept Holy.

Before I even arrive, I know that You have already been there and cleared a path for me to walk.

Before I take to the podium, the speech is not always scripted, for the Spirit that comes through me, freestyles the words that I talk.

Before I even utter the words "Thank You," You have already checked the surface of the area of, and read my heart, to know that it is with You, and that "Thanking You," is what I do.

My gratefulness precedes my thankfulness, which is succeeded by my Faithfulness!

God, may the emotions of my heart author the actions of my Life, in the form of my commitment to that of a wife, that is made to be, that was purposed for me, by way of You, as I traverse the terrain in search of what I already know to be true, within the same heart. That You are in "Every Aspect of My Life."

I am Blessed coming in, growing through and upon my exit.

"The Faithfulness of God"

"The Faithfulness of God" is plenty enough for me. An instance of His Faithfulness is equivalent to a Lifetime of abundance. A smidget of His Faithfulness is more than I can humanly fathom. Even if His Faithfulness were to ever decrease, I stand in the type of Faithfulness that contains me as a whole, as the Faithfulness appears to be fragmented itself.

But the Lord is like the building up of muscle. In order for strength to be acquired, what you have must be broken down, endure a little pain, for the strengthening to commence, as you begin the build up process.

You will always feel the pain of growth. "No pain, no gain?" How would one ever arrive at the necessary level of appreciation if growth was as simple as the Life that is being led, prior to growth?

One needs to FEEL the transition in order to understand the transition that is or has taken place. If you do not feel, then you do not heal. If you do not feel, then there is no growth. If you do not feel, then you cannot adequately describe what someone other than you is "growing through," if and when the Lord so decides to use you and your Life as a testimony, to how great He really is.

And to think that it is all about you is equivalent to thinking that the muscle will just add itself to your body without you having to experience the pains of growth or actually working out.

How will you ever guide if you have no sense of direction? How will you ever protect if you have no desire to learn about protection? How will you ever reflect should you never look back over your Life in reflection?

The necessary things,
The necessary pains,
The necessary wings,
The necessary gains,
The necessary ability to be able to soar through what comes your way and extract the strength from the adversity that was meant to be and do anything BUT, strengthen you.

"The Faithfulness of God" is the source of my redemption and the gravitational pull that will not allow me NOT to mention, that it is Him and not me, that deserves and receives the Glory, that is to be!

Just a speck of "The Faithfulness of God," and I shall Smile and have a wonderfully Blessed day, every single day, that I stand in His type of Faithfulness.

To God Be the Glory!!!

May my Faith in Him be as strong as the smallest particle of fragmentation of His Faithfulness, "The Faithfulness of God."

"I Instigate My Love for Christ"

Oh, what the Lord has done for me! I harmoniously sing His praises not because of what He has done, but for the simple fact that I have the victory through my Lord and Savior, His only Son.

I sing without the words, I can hear without being heard and what He has for me, is only for me, how grateful I am for his Loving delivery.

Oh, where and who would I be, had it not been for the blood that was shed at Calvary?

"I Instigate My Love for Christ" the same way a hater might instigate their disdain for me. But the Love will always overshadow the hate, the same way that Christ will always have the victory.

Only what you do for Christ will and shall ever last. As soon as you pass them, accept them as an integral part of the past.

The leaves are about to change their colors, before they wither and fade away. Admire their beauty when they peak, they were never meant to stay.

Only what you do for Christ, will and shall ever last.

"Love, Redeemed"

Love never vacated the premises just because I once foolishly decided not to show up. Love continued on doing what God first purposed Love to do. Oh, how grateful I am to know that when I returned to Love, that the Lord was gracious enough to allow me to get over myself and step into His Love as if I had been there all along.

The Lord's Grace and Mercy is the order of the day and time matter's not to the keeper of time. And since Love is the only way in which to reconcile all things, may the keeper of time permit enough time for hearts to realize that in order to give and receive Love, they are required to do their respective parts, by way of participation.

Getting over oneself enables the eyes to clearly see, what the heart was created to feel and what God's Love was purposed to be.

I got out of the way, oft times my very own way and then I hid myself in order to forbid myself from getting back in the way, my very own way.

I Love You Lord, with my whole, entire and complete heart! There is none leftover, to be messed over, by myself or anyone else. I toss up the past fragments and predicaments and renounce any fabrication of Love that is not Heaven sent.

The truth is not designed nor is it intended to ever be mean. For God is Love and for that impeccable fact, I have "Love, Redeemed"

"I Must Be Getting Closer!"

Another problem to face...

A new obstacle to overcome...

Every single time that I take just one half of a step forward, I find myself stumbling back at least a few, so much so that my steps are now in debt!

My budget needs a budget in order for me to budget!

But, To God Be the Glory!

I expected my enemies to attack me, but damn if it doesn't feel like I am being attacked harder by the ones that are closer, to me!

But, To God Be the Glory!

I did my best in that position that ultimately promoted me to failure. Had I known then what I know now....well then, God's Glory would not have been realized. Hence, To God Be the Glory!

You see, had I actually known then what it is that I know now, how would I have ever been able to give my testimony to the greatness of a Father that has always refused to leave me fatherless throughout my entire existence?

The rhetorical nature in which I ask, is the same revelation at task. How could I ever learn, had I never shown up to class? Life's experiences do not just act towards us, they prolifically speak to and through us!

You see, I had to go THERE, in order for Him to bring me HERE! And I can now look back over my Life and give God the glory that He so righteously deserves! The praise in my mouth is genuine, authentic, celebratory and apathetic to the mediocrity that has no testimony to the glory that is to be, for the Lord. When you are attacked for doing the right thing, the adversity will conceal its identity, in order to confuse your testimony! But confusion and chaos is not the order of the day with respect to His Will and His Ways!

To God Be the Glory!

For that is one of the identifying components that let's you know that you are at least on your way. I choose to solely focus on the Lord and His righteousness. To know Him and to grow with Him as He teaches me and preaches to me, the truth that is to only be.

Worry not about the negative aspects and the identity of their anonymity. For when we know what righteousness looks like, when we know what righteousness feels like, when we know what righteousness smells like, when we know what righteousness tastes like and when we know what righteousness IS like, the identity of the enemy will reveal and testify against itself.

To God Be the Glory!

Stay strong!
Remain encouraged!
Do not EVER lose hope!

God does not stop anything that He has started! He leaves no stone unturned, no task incomplete and no part of His Will unfulfilled. Everything about the Lord and His Will shall and will always be fulfilled!

Those half and whole steps that had you falling back weren't what they appeared to be! You see God is giving you the needed space for a RUNNING HEAD START, right before He promotes you, catapulting you beyond your own expectations and above the trepidation that failed at infiltration, to foolishly destroy you.

Perception is not your reality when God is your director!

I might be HERE, but my director will place me THERE, exactly WHERE I need to be, way before Life's credits begin to roll.

Understand that you being HERE means that you will eventually be THERE. And so long as the director's chair is occupied, tell yourself and remind your inner self that, "I Must Be Getting Closer!"

To God Be the Glory!!!

May you Smile and have a wonderfully Blessed day!

"Ownership of My Relationship"

Masquerading around in the truth negates the need for a mask that is intentionally designed to conceal, not reveal, the truth. But when you have found the you within yourself, you begin to owe that you within yourself to do and be who you were purposed and destined to be, irrespective of what others think they see.

What someone sees in you matters not, but what God has deposited within you is a solidified Blessing by way of the truth! Where someone thinks you should be as opposed to where God directs you to be, offers no consistency or relevancy with respect to what He ultimately has planned for you and me.

To understand this is to own the responsibility and the obligation within the responsibility that allows you to declare with extreme clarity, that the obligatory responsibility is mine!

I take "Ownership of My Relationship" with the Lord and seek to have a deeper understanding, one that would quell the lack of understanding perpetrated by words that have no meaning, defined outside of the parameters of His Words, that have ALL meaning.

Like the you within yourself,
Great can be found within the grateful,
Faith within the Faithful,
Peace of mind, in the mindful, that the "Ownership of My Relationship" is predicated on my participation to make it better. Oh yeah, I own that too!

"Lift Up Your Head"

Sometimes we forget not just "who" we are, but we lose sight of and forget "whose" we are. Irrespective of what the situation is, who the perpetrators are, where we are in our Life's journey, or what is next on the horizon, we belong to a God that is bigger than everything and anything that we will ever encounter.

The sharpening of His tools is a necessary part of the process in order to prepare us for the work that is within His Will that we been purposed to execute.

What one does is not for the sole benefit of one, but the living testimony to be witnessed by more than just one. The importance of the number has no personal relevance since the goal does not have a defined time line. For the keeper of time has no need for a timepiece. But the timeliness of you being present in your Life's purpose is paramount!

Find you. Get lost in the truth and reveal you to yourself. Live the Life that you now know is for you. And if they don't like it, they weren't meant to be a part of it! The onus is for you to keep pressing forward anyway. By way of obligatory responsibility, we can no longer claim ignorance, once we have been educated to the contrary.

To a risen Savior who is everything and anything but dead. For after you have humbled and kneeled yourself in prayer, it is time to "Lift Up Your Head" so that you can see where God is taking you.

Worry not about the contents contained within your itinerary, for God has a lot in store for you! It is time to step into what has been waiting your arrival. In order to see where God is taking you, it is time to "Lift Up Your Head."

"Your Sweet Precious Name"

I am able to firmly stand because You propped me up and used what was meant to destroy me, in the form of adversity, to hold me up, in the form of pillars, to be the very strength that postures me in my upright position.

My gratefulness cannot be quantified within the realm of my possibility, but my praises can exponentially qualify what I am unable to quantify by way of the number of times "Your Sweet Precious Name" emanates from my lips.

I Thank You Lord for being better to me long before Corey knew how to be better to me. The Faithfulness to Your Holy Word is nothing short of the same Covenant that You had with King David and grateful is the order of this day, the order of that yesterday, and the Promises of what everyday shall hold as I cling to Your Word, do what is pleasing to You and worry not about who You will use next, to bring me even closer to You.

Inspire the uninspired!
Drive what needs to be driven!
Reveal all that is thought to be hidden!
Speak to make that difference and not just to hear one's own voice!
Live to not just be an option, but the only viable choice!

Direct my energy to be the synergy that constructs and bridges the formidable gap that would have one believe that it is irreparably apart, when in all actuality it is only there to be the experience of the process, spoken words need not confess, what the Lord intends to reveal as He continues to Bless.

My gratefulness cannot be quantified within the realm of my possibility, but my praises can exponentially qualify what I am unable to quantify by way of the number of times "Your Sweet Precious Name" emanates from my lips.

To God Be the Glory!!!

Thank You Jesus!!!

"Don't Caveat Your Compliments!"

It is far too easy to be maliciously critical of another person. And oft times easy describes the route and the way that is taken as opposed to the unique path of a compliment that has been administered without the need to caveat said compliment. If the route or path taken is too easy, then perhaps easy is not the route or path that should be taken.

Small minds cannot contain large dreams since the overflow would ultimately wind up being wasted. Therefore, the Lord makes deposits into a Spiritual mindset that will allow the vision to be manifested, irrespective of the eyes being able to see said vision at a time other than the appointed one. It is therefore capable of sustaining growth sans the realization timetable, since the belief is always present, when the human visibility of such, is anything but.

The ease in which one criticizes should be synonymous with the ease in which one forgives. Unlikely, but it does not change the fact that if the route or path taken is too easy, then perhaps easy is not the route or path that should be taken.

The critical path is one of least resistance, whose existence is one that is too critical to ever ignore.

You defeat criticism by accomplishing excellence! And even in your accomplishments, you will still hear the criticism, but it shall never negate the accomplishments that you arrived at, in spite of!

God does not waste, so the overflow was contained and it manifested itself at the appointed time.

If you're going to caveat your compliments, then keep them to yourself!

She might not have looked like the criticism suggested she look, but it matters not, because "Gabby Got Gold!"

Christ didn't and doesn't, so "Don't Caveat Your Compliments!"

"Transforming Me!"

Abandonment is just an illusion that is stockpiled with confusion, as you attempt to figure out how and why you first got there. The perception of the illusion is much worse than the reality of such. What you perceive could very well manifest itself into what you ultimately believe. But the reality of our destiny is not within the confines of a belief system that is solely ours. But one that is far greater than that of ours.

In my hiding place where only God can find me, I reveal my face and embrace His Love so blindly!

He restores all emptiness that I find myself to be in. He reminds me that He is in me, therefore I am void of all of my perceived empty!

No matter where I am, who I'm with or wherever it takes me, the omnipresence of the Lord forbids my perceived empty from ever becoming a reality!

I focus not on me but what He has deposited within me, in order to supersede any negativity that attempts to surround and destroy me!

The fiery rivers were not meant to consume me, rather to perish the enemy, while simultaneously reshaping, remolding and "Transforming Me!"

"The Best"

It is not ok to just be good enough, since better already exists within you!

Being content with good is denial of ones self to be "The Best" that God has purposed us to be. If being good is alright with you, then do not do it for yourself. Be your best FOR Christ and be your best IN Christ! Be your best, since His Best has already been deposited within you.

When the Lord makes a deposit, consider the Spiritual funds certified. Nothing will ever bounce so overdraft will not be needed!

When growth is no more, that is a key indication that you have outgrown your situation. Therefore prepare for God to remove you from your comfort zone so that you may continue to experience growth on a much deeper level than previously known. Depth in growth and closeness in proximity!

Whatever we think it is that we can do, we could not possibly conjure up a plan that would even BEGIN to rival that of His!

Father in Heaven, May Your Name Be Glorified!

God has deposited "The Best" within us and we need to begin living up to His expectations by subscribing to something better! Not equivalent to or less than, but something better, on the road to "The Best."

It is never alright to just be good, since "The Best" exists and has already been deposited within you!

Truly, "All the Best, All the Time!"

Pray for mental preparation and God revealing to you, "The Best!"
Prepare yourself to receive what God knows to be, "The Best!"
Posture your lips in proclamation of having received "The Best," even prior to its receipt!

Father in Heaven, May Your Name Be Glorified!

Thank You for bestowing upon me, depositing within me, and revealing to me what it means to be, do and expect better than good, by illustrating within my mind the object of Your affection in the form of, "The Best!"

To God Be the Glory!

"Privilege of Life"

There is but one word that I "revere" with the utmost respect: Privilege.

Having a sense of entitlement forbids one from understanding the importance and meaning of the word privilege. The comprehension is paramount because it will lend itself to a greater understanding of the importance of the "Privileges of Life" that have afforded us the type of things that entitlement will otherwise have us believing we accomplished and earned all on our own.

Even if such were and proved to be true, the very first privilege that has been bestowed upon us is the "Privilege of Life." And that privilege alone is worthy of our praises to God, for it was and could not have been accomplished and earned all on our own. Therefore, it is indeed a privilege!

There is no coincidence that embedded within and close to the end of the "entitlement" word is yet another word: "me." It becomes too easy to get so caught up in "me" that it winds up extending itself into yet another word altogether: "entitlement." The "me" within "entitlement" is close to the end of the word, which is indicative of having such a mentality that does not lend or extend itself much further than "me" to begin with!

The magnitude and enormity of the comprehension of privilege allows you to partake in a perspective and point of view of Life that is greater than what the human eye can see and stretches far beyond what you ever thought that you could ever be. All due in large part of the fact that the "me" in "entitlement" is now overshadowed by the "you" that you see in the "privilege." Not in the literal visibility, rather in the Heavenly possibilities.

"Hello Mom, Good Morning!"

All around you exists a story in which to be told. As a matter of fact, there is always a story awaiting the arrival of the author to show up, so that the story can finally get its voice. All one needs to do is pay close enough attention to ones surroundings in order to begin penning the story for that voice, so that it can be heard.

The consumption of your surroundings will only be absorbed through the attentiveness of your heart as you feel what's going on to the front, back, right and the left of you.

Sometimes just stop what you're doing and partake in the actions and the words that are waiting to be seen and dying to be heard.

I sat down and ate my bagel while sipping on my coffee. The young lady beside me received a phone call. She looked at her phone, Smiled and said, "Hello Mom, Good Morning!" I thought to myself, "what a privilege it is for her to still be able to receive a call from her Mother." She could not have known what I knew as I too Smiled and remembered when I was Blessed as such to receive a call like that.

Oft times I ponder if people ever truly wonder what their lives would be like if their Loved ones were to be no more. The fear of such a reality compels people to not think in a manner such as and to "cross that bridge when it comes." But, what if we all took that approach in hopes to better ourselves and how we treat people in our lives? Perhaps we would treat each other better than what we do? Perhaps we would call to say I Love You more than what we do? Perhaps we would do more than what we ever have and currently do? Perhaps we would just be better at getting better for the sake of having a new point of view?

All around you exists a story in which to be told. The consumption of your surroundings will only be absorbed through the attentiveness of your heart as you feel what's going on to the front, back, right and the left of you.

She continued on with her conversation with her Mother and I was so happy for her. She took the time to stop what she was doing to give her Mother the attention that she deserved. The attentiveness of her heart will forever be pleasing in the sight of the Lord.

"You Being You"

I humbly appreciate the presence of those that God has allowed to be in my Life that have and continue to offer positive reinforcements by way of scripture, prayer, thoughts, kind acts and genuine gestures that are indicative of the acts of Christ!

To see Christ in others compels you to want others to see the Christ that exists within you. Not only was Christ the example, He has deployed others to continue to be examples along the way, beside the path, around the corner, beside destiny, through difficulty, scaling triumph after having danced with defeat.

The microscopic attempt to return the favor after having received God's Favor by not trying to pay God back, rather paying it forward with my own neighbor. Not necessarily the one that shares the same street as a residence, but anyone that so desires to be a witness to God's presence.

If it is within me, then surely they will see!

Chastise myself if ever again I question the "who?"

Grateful to God, for simply "You Being You."

"Yet To Reveal"

As I meditate on the awesomeness of the Lord, perplexed best describes how we oft times attempt to figure out, what His Will, has "Yet To Reveal."

As I purge the fears that used to wrestle me to the mat, pinning me in defeat, I consume the Faith that allows me to triumphantly rise as I hoist the symbol of victory in reverence to the Lord, that lifted me from the tongues of deceit and out of the jaws of death.

I survive because He died, yet He lives!

I am because He was, yet He still is!

I do because He did, yet He still does!

I have because He gave, yet He still gives!

What He has "Yet To Reveal," is only an indication that I have work to do, yet still.

"Decluttered"

So deeply marinated in the Word of God, that the Word of God are now the Words that emanate from my lips.

So deeply marinated in the Selfless Actions of Christ, that the Selfless Actions of Christ are the same Selfless Acts that I find myself emulating in an earthly fashion.

So passionate about the passion that burns from within, I have singed my soul with the "soul" purpose of Heavenly healing.

So defiant to defeat that defeat even knows that it too can and will be defeated, for THIS battle is not mine, but that of...

So stubborn to NOT changing that the stubbornness of change has submitted itself unto change itself.

So adamant to prove that imitation is indeed the best form of flattery, as I attempt to flatter the Acts of Christ and the Words of God as I live the Life that He has provisioned for me, submitting myself so that I can better myself, revealing the demonstration of Christ in the likes of me, irrespective of the who, what, where and why, because it was and never shall be, about me.

So convinced that when I depart, I will have imparted all that was first imparted to me, up to and including the contributions of me, leaving behind nothing that cannot be used to impart to someone else, for I will have removed and "Decluttered" all starting with, up to and including myself.

"Makes Me Victorious!"

These "things" that vie for your attention, time and energy are for the most part "things" that do not have a strong relevance in your day to day Life. For if God so purposed them for you in your Life, then they would need not compete for the admiration of your adulation. They would be on the inside looking out as opposed to the outside looking and trying to get in.

But Glory Be To God for imparting a gut feeling and an intuition that even surpasses what you think you know, on the inside looking out as opposed to the outside looking and trying to get in.

What God has deposited within us, cannot be withdrawn from us!

The account that contains my deposited Blessings, never loses interest in the eyes of God. For He does not become disinterested nor does He decrease His interest rate per the expected return that I Faithfully anticipate.

Everything that He does is everything that I have grown to expect from a Father that never fails to stop being so.

It is kind of hard to simply wallow in defeat when every time I humble myself, God "Makes Me Victorious!"

"Behold Your Lovely Face"

All that I do, is for You! I go to sleep with You. I awake to You. I rejoice in You for You have made me a better me by simply depositing You within me.

The shadows of my own existence yield no silhouette of a presence without Your presence that has been deposited within me.

I garner no results without You!

Abandoned, alone and joyless would be my Life were I to ever foolishly revert back to what an existence, not a "Life," but an existence contrary to the joy and Love that now resides within my heart.

The Peace that I have with You is the best Peace that I will ever come to know. Any other form of Peace is at best, an extremely poor representation of what it is to truly be, live and Love, with the intent and fervor that is required in order to elevate my earthly connection to that of Your Heavenly existence.

I shall work until my work is no more. I shall sing Your praises and dance until my feet become part of the floor. I would scream even if I had no voice. For then I would write it down, as I do now, and verbalize my rejoice!

Wherever Your purpose for my Life leads me, I will be there in that exact place. Whatever I need to do, just to get a glimpse and "Behold Your Lovely Face."

"Buried Right on the Surface"

One quick glance out around your surroundings and you quickly begin to silently hear the testimonial heartache that is permeating within that same circumference.

You begin to subsequently realize that your heartache and pain is but a microscopic microcosm. For not only is it already small, but it is even smaller than you initially thought in contrast to what others are going through.

Right then and there is where you muster the nerve to put your selfish needs to the side and Bless someone else with your presence. Within that Blessing is exactly where you will find the Blessing that God has for you. It is "Buried Right on the Surface," hidden in plain sight, should we stop looking through Life with our own vision, but looking at Life from a perspective that is bigger than that of our own.

For God does not hide what He has in store for us, but we should be encouraged to seek it out. Not just for the purposes of possessing whatever it may be, but the journey that we embark upon that will ultimately and not only present itself to us, but change us, better positioning us to be in receipt of something greater than we could ever fathom.

Our outstretched arms need to stretch even farther, so that we may receive a deposit within us that makes us even greater, for the Glory of God.

In your new vision, I encourage you to seek your Blessings outside of you, letting them reveal themselves to you. For they shall not be hidden from you, just "Buried Right on the Surface," before you.
