The past twelve months alone have provided no less than a novel's worth of material. However, I will choose a wageless "War" and I will Pray for "Peace" instead of responding in the flesh, irrespective of the fact that this is one temptation that I wouldn't mind giving way to. Nah, but that would be entirely too easy and more importantly, not pleasing unto the Lord. "Father, I Forgive them for what they attempted to do and I forgave them when they re-attempted to do the same after failing the first time. In Jesus Name!"
Oh, the lessons learned and gleaned from the meanness of the mean that tries to camouflage their DNA to alter the appearance of their genes. Ah, I said I wouldn't go there!
Truth be told, the Truth is the ONLY thing that should ever be told, when it is spoken.
Do not allow the dead in Christ to kill what is inside of you. "Speak Truth Over Yourself" and allow Life to positively run amuck in all facets of your existence. Love the unlovable and Forgive each and every time that you are offended (Matthew 18:22), even when the intent is malicious in nature or ignorantly benign. Do not permit the darkness that is within others to dim the Light of the World that is within you.
Arrive at a place where you are forever safe from the ills of the sick, and deal with it quick. Do not let things build up and fester, for they will eventually burst and ooze out. That is not necessarily a bad thing since the cleansing should always start from within. It is the exterior ugliness that we often have to contend with. But know that what is presented on the outside is a direct reflection of what's happening on the inside.
When you encounter Love, it is because Love was there to begin with.
When you encounter everything but Love, anything but Love is all that is there, superficially.
Cleanse the pallette of your Heart and taste and see that Love is good! What an insatiable appetite you will develop that will no longer make room for the tastelessness of negativity and the infinite ignorance of mediocrity. Continually rise above it all and soar on wings like Eagles (Isaiah 40:31). The brilliance of your beauty when you spread your wings will take you to new heights that adversity cannot reach, thus compelling it to always look up to you.
Twelve months of Inspiration made me BETTER, not bitter. "And as I launch into 2014, I spread my wings, soaring to new heights that Faith can only bring. In Jesus Name. Amen!"
God, Love, And Smile Always!
