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."
To God Be the Glory!!!

"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.
