"Bold and Confident Love"

You've established "Love.At.First.Sight," what now? How do you now transfer that acknowledged and confirmed energy into a course of action? Falling in "Love.At.First.Sight" is different than growing in Love. We are so accustomed to getting to know the person and then falling in Love, but I have found that there is a small, big difference in the protocol when it starts with Love.

Do not over think it, just go with it! The only difference is the fact that it started exactly where a groomed Love would have wound up, at Love.

Be Bold, not abrasive in your approach. Our guards have an innate tendency to go up when we are not in our perceived comfort zones. But that does not mean that you are out of bounds, it just means that you are navigating new terrain, which is new to us all, if it is our first time there.

Do not exercise fear thus making it stronger than you! Exercise your belief that there is nothing wrong with the fact that "Love.At.First.Site" could be you! And why not?

If all things are possible, then eradicate the impossibility seed from your Life's Garden of Love. For what we consume is what ultimately nourishes our soul, be it good to us, bad for us, or indifferent of us. We control what we allow in our lives, what we put in our mouths and how it impacts us. Be "Bold and Confident," without a hint of indecisiveness and let no one think for you. YOU, think for you!

Go forth with Love, the benefits of such never fade away, even when they are old and gray. They simply become the example of what Love could be, irrespective of how it came to be.

Your "Bold and Confident Love" will only receive questions from those that would not understand the answer anyway.

Be Bold.
Be Confident.
Be Love.

That "Bold and Confident Love."

God, Love, And Smile Always!

"Love.At.First.Sight"

She graced my presence in passing coupled with a brief glance that reciprocated what my heart felt as my eyes began to communicate with that of hers, and our non-verbal correspondence immediately ensued. All of the words that were not heard were translated from my heart to hers and confirmed from her heart back to mine.

Some relationships take time in order to hear what is being said sans a word emanating from the lips. But when the communication is as divine as the location, the time wasn't nigh, it was right then and there.

Without hesitation, the gravitational pull was as significant to me as centrifugal force is to an object around which it rotates. Love.

Attempting to explain what was previously unexplainable due to the fact that in one's mind, it was not obtainable, until the first experience became a thing of the past and the reincarnation of the once unobtainable was birthed into existence, At.First.Sight.

One's lack of understanding shall never negate the fact that what you feel is totally understandable. Your belief is what is marinated in your heart and your actions are at the direction of that same heart.

Having had my mind transformed to now believe that such an event is PSSBLE, as if it had played out even before it played out, the now tangible is believable because it has been felt in its entirety, thus revealing itself to be a reality.

Aesthetically pleasing need not apply, for what I am referring to is an internal connection that readily identifies when it is in the presence of not just a "like" mind and soul but an "exact" mind, body and soul, that was first demonstrated by the Love of Christ.

For me, and unbeknownst to me at the time to be revealed in God's Glory, those moments were birthed at the very moment that I made the conscious decision to avail myself, mind, body and soul, to something greater than myself, in the form of the ever present presence of God in my Life and the Love that was demonstrated by His Son, for my Life.

The infinite possibilities began to reveal themselves in an instance and the transformation of what was thought to not be possible said that they were everything BUT impossible! The infinite brilliance of the Lord is quite humbling when you become the transformation that you wanted nothing to do with from the onset or ever, for that matter.

Operating outside of Love's parameter's means that you are so far outside of Love's far reaching grasp, that Love's remote existence is only known to you as a remote, remote's, remote existence, in any way, shape or form. You have compelled yourself to believe yourself, only in portrayal, until you come to the conclusion that your actions are nothing short of self betrayal, for ever not accepting the power of "Love.At.First.Sight" and its existence within your world.

Should Love be out on the limb, then that is where your presence should be made known. Be not afraid to venture outside of your comfort zone, out of fear of the unknown. Growth is exactly where you are not. And Love is demonstrative of exactly where you should be.

And on that day, there I was, exactly where I was supposed to be. And on that day, there she was, communicating directly with me.

Is Love not the greatest...

"Love.At.First.Sight"

"Love, I've Got Nothing Without You!"

Everything of and in this world is nothing that I can neither take with me, nor will be accepted into the Kingdom, that place in eternity where the tolls for that journey are paid for, right here and right now.

The only thing that I am taking is the Love within my heart, which is the perfect place to which to start. The same Love that shall not ever part from me, that is deeply rooted within the marrow of my bones, marinated in the words that emanate from my lips, and demonstrated in the actions that I initiate, thus compelling the like to continuously gravitate, towards what we know we can never fully understand, but through Faith in the Holy Spirit, can illustrate the prerequisite, of what it means to believe.

Without that same Love, I have and am nothing but a dying flesh that refuses to even die. But refusal is a trick that the enemy convinces the mind that all will be well in absence of Love, so long as it is your Love that is not hurt in the process. What refusal refuses to elaborate is that the process cannot be fulfilled without Love. So, saving yourself from the process does not lengthen your existence, rather it starves what existence you do have within a heart that was designed to consume the organic aspects of a dietary intake composed of Love.

One would not want to enter into the Kingdom vicariously, so do not exist, live and Love in the same manner. Experience the joy of Love at first sight. Believe that such a joy is out there and that it has a non-transferable ticket with your name written on it.

As for me, "Love, I've Got Nothing Without You!"

God, Love, and Smile Always!

"Let Me Follow Your Lead"

Pride aside, sometimes we just have to admit that we are lost! And there is absolutely nothing wrong with that! It is when we ADMIT, that the Spirit of the Lord facilitates the act and our need to SUBMIT.

There is zero shame in not knowing. It is the stagnancy of the enemy that prohibits us from growing.

We fashion ourselves in a manner that would have others believe that we know what we actually do not know, and that we live in a way that is absolutely contrary to the Truth.

But it is the Truth that should dictate our ways and not our ways that are dictating the Truth! The practice of doing it backwards prohibits us from moving IT and US forward.

I was compelled to resign my ways, being forced to quit. And at that very moment is when the Spirit of the Lord invited me to try His ways, and encouraged me to Submit. It took tendering my resignation in order for me to receive my promotion.

"Lead, follow or get out of the way," they say. Pride and Corey aside, in total and complete Submission, I Submit myself unto Christ, in perfect position, enabling the opportunity to "Let Me Follow Your Lead."

God, Love, and Smile Always!

"Perimeter of Truth"

When you live a Life of lies, on the outskirts of the "Perimeter of Truth," you will throw jabs, lies and accusations from afar. But, when you reside WITHIN that "Perimeter of Truth," just like King David, you will stand toe to toe with any foe, because Victory is already yours. "For this battle is not mine," declared King David, "it is the Lord's!"

Do you stand on the outside or WITHIN the "Perimeter of Truth?"

God, Love, and Smile Always!
Corey A. Ford

"Get Up!"

You were never meant to remain there prostrated on the threshing floor. At some point in time, it was meant for you to Rise, and "Get Up!"

You see trouble don't last always, for the Love of Christ is the only thing that does or ever will, always. We concede in ALL of our weaknesses and we Rise again in ALL of His Strength! We Rise!

My brokenness has been revealed and healed within Him!
My mistakes have been Forgiven!
My soul has been Redeemed!
I shout, "Let the rebuilding process commence!"

I have risen up off of that threshing floor in spectacular fashion! The enemy did not prevail because my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ does not fail! And To God Be the Magnificent Glory for not authoring the epitaph to my story!

Rise up and "Get Up," while you still have a story to be told!

God, Love, and Smile Always!

"Right"

I do not have the selfish desire to BE "Right." My heart's selfless desire is just for IT, to be "Right."

"Your Vision is Your Vision"

They are not necessarily supposed to see what has been deposited within you. Their level of clarity into your Blessing usually occurs at the fruition of such. Then there are those that do have the innate ability to see either what you have yet to see or what others are unable to see. Therefore, it is extremely imperative to not lean on the understanding of what others do not understand, and for that matter, what you do not understand. Vision has a way of being accompanied by fruition, unless of course you are not bound by your sight alone.

Your circle should not contain squares, that will ultimately never fit into your Vision. Rather let the other things take shape on their own, thus leaving your Vision alone, so that it can be birthed into existence.

Surrounding yourself with more does not equate to having more of what you think that you will need. If it has been deposited within you, understand that you have been equipped with all that you will ever need.

Seek within for what is already there!
For no other parts can ADD to what Christ has already made WHOLE. If the parts are not fitting, return to the Source for clarity and direction with respect to your Vision. The substitute for the origins of your Vision are non-existent. He is, therefore you cannot replace the "Great I Am."

What He has given you, is just for you!

"Your Vision is Your Vision."

Smile and have a wonderfully Blessed day!

God, Love, and Smile Always!

"God Has Already Forgiven Me, So Why Am I Trippin'?"

Whenever change has made its presence known you will always have those that are all too willing to remind you of how things were prior to your change. That is nothing more than an infiltration of the manifestation of the presence of change in your Life, that is doing its best rendition of trying to make "history repeat itself."

If you are not careful, you will wind up reliving your past mistakes and regrets, allowing those past feelings to creep back into your Life, pulling off a great caper of your happiness and joy, even though you have effectively moved on from those mistakes and regrets.

You will then start to re-punish yourself for the things that you have already been Forgiven for. Your thoughts, your mood, your habits, and your actions will all present themselves in the same shadows of the past that you have already overcome.

The Victory of Christ means that we cannot lose! That defeated mentality will not garner you another victory in lieu of the Victory that you are already in receipt of. We need not another, when Christ already has it covered!

Encourage yourself by reminding yourself that you have already been Forgiven! We ALL make mistakes and will continue to do so. Do not beat yourself up over your mistakes. Trust that you are not alone when it comes to making them. And if someone has a problem with your ability to move on from your past, then grant yourself permission to move on from them! You do not need their dirty reminders when God has already wiped your slate clean. The Blessing will always be within the lesson.

So, when those reminders come your way, and they will, proclaim it out loud, "God Has Already Forgiven Me, So Why Am I Trippin'?"

God, Love, and Smile Always!

"Rise Again in Your Strength!"

Perched

I lay down in my weakness, and in accordance to Your Will Lord, I WILL "Rise Again in Your Strength!"

My faults and weaknesses have died a violent death, perpetrated by the perpetrator of my faults and weaknesses, most of which the acknowledgment of their existence, fell upon my own deaf ears.

But, because of You Lord, I can hear again.

My ways, even though some were good, were not necessarily in accordance to Your Will Lord, and my admission of them is my concession for them, as I relinquish all of them, unto You.

But, because of You Lord, my Life's breath has been extended in spite of, so that I may correct them, and get it right the first time, this second time around.

Your Grace for giving me what I do NOT deserve and Your Mercy for not giving me what I DO deserve. I am humbled!

You removed the Love of my Life, in order to compel me to straighten up my Life, so that you may bestow upon me the Blessings and Purpose for my Life. The humility through "Continuous Reconciliation" continues.

I acknowledge all of my faults and weaknesses and stand at attention in complete awe of Your Holiness, that You would look beyond my selfish desires, scraped me up off of the ground, perched me up, so that I may soar again, at altitudes much higher.

My mind was weak all on its own. But the strength of that mind has been renewed, as I am THAT of Your own.

I shall refrain from casting the blame, unless the reflection resembles that of the same.

I give myself away, only to You Lord, until You see fit.

For, I lay down in my weakness, and in accordance to Your Will Lord, I WILL, "Rise Again in Your Strength!"

God, Love, and Smile Always!

"800!!!"

Keep it 100? Well, this is "800!!!"

And,
To God Be the Glory!!!
To God Be the Awesome Glory!!!
To God Be the Merciful Glory!!!
To God Be the Loving Glory!!!
To God Be the MAGNIFICENT GLORY!!!

Healing and restoration have every place in every situation! The sun will indeed shine again, just as the Son indeed rose again. May your happiness be restored as you elevate yourself up off of the threshing floor, having renewed your strength by way of conceding to your weaknesses, outside of His Holy presence.

Forgive so that you may live!
Die so that you may gain!
Heal so that you may feel!
Laugh so that it doesn't hurt!
Smile when you know that it does!
Position yourself in order to receive your Spiritual wealth!
Spend the Heavenly inheritance of your Blessings, wisely!

What we go through, is also what we grow through! Perpetual customized grooming with tailor-made specifications for a Purpose and its Blessings, that only "suits" me. That only "suits" you. The non-transferability aspect of what is for me by way of the Father, confirms that He indeed has a plan for my Life, IRRESPECTIVE of what is going on around me, IRRESPECTIVE of what I feel within me, and IRRESPECTIVE of what I believe about me. The Father, has a plan, FOR ME!

The pruning process of Christ will expose those surroundings, change those feelings and restore our beliefs, as soon as we submit ourselves unto Christ, since He is already aware of our measurements. His familiarity with our size is well known to Him, for He has been watching us carry around burdens for as long as we can remember, all of which we should have relinquished in equitable fashion, according to Him, which means no less than 100%.

I have heard said that, "when you have had something "made," that "fits" you, you will never buy off of the rack again." In the literal sense, all of us may not be able to afford to do that, but in the Spiritual realm, ALL of us can afford and are quite capable of not buying off of the "Rack of Life" that MISrepresents by way of: failure, greed, lust, drugs, alcohol, lies, untruths, deception, deflection, denial, verbal abuse, physical abuse, and ANYTHING that falls under the umbrella that is "contrary to the Love of Christ."

It is Christ that is tailor-made JUST FOR US! I encourage and implore you to seek out your Spiritual Tailor and from this day forth, to never buy from the "Rack of Life" again!

100? Nah, Jesus is GREATER than that! This is "800!!!"

Thank You Jesus!!!

God, Love, and Smile Always!

"Divine Passport"

DF: 21

With an unparalleled clarity, an unprecedented focus, a dash of unwavering Faith, an impeccable sense of determined accomplishment, layers upon layers of motivation, free of irreparable stagnation, unambiguous resolve, justifiable homicide of all of my goals that were never aligned with the Will of the Father, resuscitation of all of my goals that are aligned with the Will of the Father, an immaculate sense of cleanliness, the ever-present presence of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, His unmitigated plan of perfection that needs no back-up, my belief in His plan in that it knows ALL that is BEST for me, my submittal to something greater than, that knows better than, the likes of me, forever committed to, because of You and what You have seen and brought me through, IN COMPLETE SUBMISSION!

Corey's travels during his Lifetime have taken him both far and wide. But the travels of the Will of the Father shall take him beyond the fathomable boundaries that can be accommodated with a regular passport.

Therefore, I surrender my US Passport, for where Christ is taking me, it would not have garnered me the type of access that my "Divine Passport" has proactively granted me.

There I was.
Here I am.
Away I go.

With my "Divine Passport," as my Heavenly escort, taking me absolutely everywhere, that the Father already knows.

Thank you DF (Daniel Fast), for handing over the keys to my wretched past. By way of gutt-wrenching change, Spiritual inoculation, and a complete cleanse of all that was formally unclean, the DF has discarded those keys, that belonged to a past, that no longer represents me.

The Will requires change, in particularly the type, for all of the reasons, that you probably don't even know about.

I shall continue to prostrate myself to You in all of my weakness, awaiting your Will that compels me to rise again, in all of Your strength!

The documentation of all of my situations have been stamped in my mind and on my heart, within my "Divine Passport" on this amazing new start.

To God Be the Loving Glory!!!

God, Love, and Smile Always!

"Love Calling"

DF: 20

We have a tendency to be pretty particular about whom we communicate with. That open door policy is only applicable in the office and outside of normal business hours no one is the boss of us, except us!

Funny how that works when we seemingly pick and choose who and what communicates with us, so long as it fits within our predetermined availability.

But predetermined should not define one's availability in order to prevent unavailability from robbing us of the Blessings that can be found WITHIN availability. For it is not just an incident, rather it becomes a practice that we perfect every time we make the conscious decision to avail ourselves when we are being called upon.

We should avail our hearts to receive, a practice that we can perfect so that when we do receive, it is with an abundance of gratefulness, irrespective of what's calling. Who's calling you is another thing, but WHAT is calling you is THE thing. Practice the "Who's" so that you can recognize and receive the "What's."

My caller ID may identify who is calling, but the Christ within me, by way of reminders of the Holy Spirit, inform me what is calling.

As Christ resides within me, my ears hear, my soul feels, my nose smells, my palate is cleansed in order to taste, and now the Vision of Christ is abundantly crystal clear by way of my availability. My WHAT, is "Love Calling."

To God Be the Loving Glory!!!

God, Love, and Smile Always!

"Your Moment"

DF:19

We spend a Lifetime searching for and trying to create THAT moment. The problem with THAT moment is the fact that THAT moment is usually a singular event that we are biding our time, waiting for and in search of.

The colossal mistake that we are making is in selling ourselves entirely too short in believing that our lives are all about a singular event in time. As IF, that is all that Christ can, is capable of, and willing to do within our lives. How wrong we are to place limitations on ourselves! How naïve to place limitations on what Christ can, is capable of, and more than willing to do for the very ones that acknowledge Him as the Savior that He is.

Your Life is a giant collage of singular moments that will illustrate the masterpiece that the artistry of Christ has produced. The human appreciation is usually at the confirmation that something has actually been done. But the supernatural of the Holy Spirit allows us to acknowledge, through Faith, what is being done, irrespective of our ability to see or understand the completion of His work.

Oft times the work of an artist is left up to the interpretation of the viewing audience. The miraculous and intentional work of Christ requires no interpretation. For even the formerly blind can name and claim the wondrous works of our Lord and Savior.

Stop looking for "Your Moment" in time, and create your collage of moments each and every time. The only limitations in Christ are relative to "your" belief in what He can do.

God, Love, and Smile Always!
Corey A. Ford

"Love Me, Don't Judge Me"

DF: 18

The sins that I have committed are the sins that I have owned. The days of transferring ownership of my sins are behind me. I am ultimately responsible for me. For no one else can own your transgressions, except the transgressor.

Ownership can be a beautiful thing. Whether it is a building, a home, a car, an action, a sin, your Love or "Continuous Reconciliation." The beauty of ownership is that it starts and ends with you!

Love Me:
Own what you do!
Own what you say!
Own who you are!

Don't Judge Me:
Disown what you did!
Disown what you said!
Disown who you were!

Walk around and drive towards the sound of Ownership! Hear the Words of Christ and know that what you did, what you said and who you were, ALL paid for at Cavalry! Your past was PAID for before the birth of your sins and the execution of your transgressions....out of Love, that of Christ!

Therefore, "Love Me, Don't Judge Me."

God, Love, and Smile Always!

"Relationship Revelation"

DF: 17

The common denominator was the need to fix what was perceived to be or actually broken. Perhaps it was the culture that birthed the need to continuously "fix." Maybe it was the need to be needed in the event that something needed to be fixed. No matter how you parse the data relative to the information that seemed to dictate the course of the relationship, the importance of your role is too critical to do nothing and not urgent enough to do everything. Balance.

If there are other elevators coming, there is no need for you to hold the elevator that you are on until it is at capacity. That is not your role. I used to do that amongst other things in an attempt to be everything to everyone, or so I thought. Balance.

One cannot solve all of the problems that they are confronted with, even though they might think that their energy level has the bandwidth to tackle it all, be it great or small. Balance.

The success of your relationship is not contingent upon all that you do out of your innate necessity to fix. For sometimes the things that need to be fixed do not have your name affixed to them. The resolution does not always mean that you are the one to provide the solution. Balance.

That common denominator, was me.

The culture of "fixing," was mine.

The need to fix was "my" need, not an actual need, and therein was where the relationship first started to bleed.

Sometimes the things that need to be fixed do not have your name affixed to them. The resolution does not always mean that it is YOU that will provide the solution. Balance.

"Had I Not Gone"

DF: 16

Thank You Father: "Had I Not Gone."

Thank You Jesus: "Had I Not Gone."

Thank You Holy Spirit: "Had I Not Gone."

"Had I Not Gone" from my starting point to my right now point, I would have been as sharp as the most rounded butter knife in my drawer, for only "Iron Sharpens Iron" (Proverbs 27:17).

The understanding of why I needed to go was outweighed by the physical action of actually going. And there I was, glad to have gone where Corey was not initially going to go, but felt compelled to do the exact opposite, having been led, instead of doing it my way.

Go! "No one can represent you better than you!"

Since I went, "Had I Not Gone," well, we'll never know.

Always follow the lead of your Holy Spirit! You'll never regret where it takes you, for it knows BETTER than you the opportunity that it affords you, to BEST represent you!

Now GO!

God, Love, and Smile Always!

"Hurting Too"

DF: 15

When people lash out and attack you, Pray for Christ to deliver them from their pain, for it has nothing to do with you. They want you to hurt, because they are "Hurting Too." Pray!

Corey A. Ford

"Undone"

DF: 14

For all of my Life I have "done" whatever needs to be "done," for all whom needed it "done." Throughout all of my Life experiences, I have built a solution-oriented infrastructure that was designed to fill voids where voids needed to be filled and to be the supplier of a need wherever there was a need to be supplied. But unbeknownst to me and in my admitted ignorant state, it was never meant for me to sustain that infrastructure for my entire Life, but just the season that it was to be.

Subsequently, I developed a culture of "Making It Happen" and essentially that would later become my nickname, one in which I took great pride in. But the nickname that was given to me was never meant to be replaced by the name that Jesus first gave me: "Corey," His Son. Therein was the conflict that I new nothing about. In my mind, I was doing "good work." But good work does not necessarily equate to doing "God's Work."

You see, man does not comprehend the calamity of his mistakes, until after he has already made them.

The mistake that I made was not in doing or being there for others, but not taking and relinquishing my burdens at the feet of my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. The infrastructure that was designed was not meant to sustain anything for a Lifetime, sans the Grace and Mercy of Christ. It had its seasonal purpose that was not meant to extend into another season, over additional months, culminating into years of "Making It Happen."

Being so focused on "Corey Making It Happen" robbed me of my focus on Jesus Christ, so that "He could Make It Happen." Giving Jesus my undivided attention was paramount and I was too wrapped up and distracted from what I should have been doing, as opposed to working within the Vision that God called me to be and operate in. What I was doing was "mission-minded," but within the Vision is where you ultimately "find it." The mission is what you do, and the Vision is what you become.

Inadvertent disobedience made itself a relevant fixture. But, Thank You Jesus for the Revelation of my situation, so that You can remove all of the old and make me brand spanking new. Your Grace and Mercy have found its way into the solution, forever altering the quality of the air that I breathe in the midst of all of the pollution. But a breath!

I have since deconstructed that infrastructure and its subsequent demise is "done." And now I will rely 100% on my Faith in Christ, the solution to ALL things and problems, wherein the battle is His, and Victory has already been Won!

Whatever I have "done," in Corey, from this day forth, has been "Undone" for Glory, so that Christ may "Do," and receive it ALL!

I prostrate myself to You in weakness and rise again in Your Strength!

To God Be the Magnificent Glory!

God, Love, and Smile Always!

"Tread the Waters of Something New"

DF: 13

If I am to be totally honest in my "Transparent Existence," I have been guilty of fracturing a couple of friendships along the way, in my Life. I have allowed new friendships to hijack old friendships, neglecting the balance that they are both entitled to. Have you ever just fallen off of the radar to the point where a blip would be considered a gross exaggeration? I know that I have!

True Friendships are worthy of your attention and deserve the best that you have to offer them. We should revere them and hold them in the highest regard for they are a privilege and not a right, especially after we have left them, for whatever reason.

If we are to be completely honest with ourselves, from time to time we drift or allow ourselves to "Tread the Waters of Something New." Not in lieu of, but to see what it has to offer us and if that something is both palatable and compatible.

Relationships usually catch us up in their rip currents and before we are even able to blink an eye, we are continuously pulled back out, even after we are ready to come back in.

Life is all about striking a balance and being there for one another, irrespective of the distance that we have drifted apart. It is never too late to swim back to the reality of your beach, to the shores where each grain of sand means something to you, and represents a part of who and what you are.

In the process of discovering "new," do not lose sight of the "old." The new broom might indeed sweep better, but it is the old broom that knows the corners.

Smile and have a wonderfully Blessed day!

God, Love, and Smile Always!
Corey A. Ford

"Transparent Existence"

DF: 12

Are you the same person privately that you are publicly? Is your heart as compassionate when no one knows of your good deeds, as it is when everyone knows of your good deeds? Do you only display PDA within the confines and four walls of your own home? Do you Love without boundaries and borders as you advertise as a single person, when you are single no more? Do you Love unconditionally until the conditions are outside of your comfort zone, thus compelling you to re-engage your fear and to start Loving conditionally again?

I ask, "What type of existence do you live?"

Of course we all have things that we do not desire the general public to know about, but generally speaking, do you live a Life that is free of hang-ups that need to be hung up for the very last time? Or do you find yourself living a liberated Life, free of perpetual bondage, draining baggage, habitual self-inflictions, self-imposed problems and residual issues?

I have found that the boldest existence is that of a "Transparent Existence." When your Life is free and clear, no one can bare false witness to a Life that is living in the Truth, which is that of Christ. When you live as such, you have the understanding and wherewithal that no one can judge you since He alone serves as the judge and jury. And His Grace and Mercy provides us with what we not deserve and does not allow us to get what we actually DO deserve.

Therefore, my existence shall forever be transparent in its complete entirety, not partially. You can no longer surprise, since I have already taken the necessary measures to inform.

The malicious existence of the intentions of the evil will always be cloudy in their presentation and finger pointing. And you will NEVER see them in a transparent state themselves, perhaps the red flag that you need in order to make an informed decision about the role that they play in your Life. But bold is the Truth that dares to present itself on full display, for it knows what it truly is and who it truly belongs to, irrespective of the cloudy finger pointing.

A "Transparent Existence" will not concern itself with the hidden agendas that hide the evildoers, thus exposing them for who and what they truly are.

Dare to live your Life in complete transparency and be bold enough to embrace the Peace that it affords you. Safeguard your existence by DECLARING your existence in all capacities. Disarm the enemy by equipping and arming your Loved ones.

For they will never be able to tell, what you have already told. Love will never be questioned, if it is all that you ever show.

God, Love, and Smile Always!
Corey A. Ford

"Everlasting Joy!"

DF: 11

My commitment to joy is only comparable to the joy that exists within me. Whatever should come your way, do not allow it to "kill, steal or destroy" your joy.

The temporal existence of problems and issues only last as long as we choose to hold onto them. I say choose because whether or not you realize it or not, it is indeed a choice.

Do not worry yourself about something that you do not and cannot control. You manage what you can, and leave the rest at the Savior's feet.

We are not worthy of His Grace, but along with His Grace, there is His Mercy, that permits us to receive His Grace, even though we are deserving of everything BUT, His Grace.

If that Revelation does not spark or ignite an "Everlasting Joy" within one's soul, then it might be necessary to check their pulse, to see if there is one.

The Promise of Christ creates an "Everlasting Joy," that shall always suffice, in the midst of ALL the chaos and the noise.

Be encouraged in your "Everlasting Joy!"

God, Love, and Smile Always!

"I Love Being Your Daughter"

Many people will say many things about "who you are" and "who you are not." They will talk about "what you are" and "what you are not." But whatever is said about you is none of your business. And it matters NOT, when the Truth about you is spoken from the mouth of a child.

Victory and not defeat is what Jesus has in store for me (Psalm 8:2). Out of the mouths of children are authored the concession speeches of the enemies and avengers. I shall not repay their evil with evil (Romans 12:17), for vengeance is not mine, but that of His.

Jesus knows what you need, at the exact moment that you need it. And out of her mouth, she exclaimed to me: "I Love Being Your Daughter."

She knew not, but Jesus did. Those five words quelled the nonsense right on the spot, as Jesus purposed them to do. Put it BACK into perspective, irrespective of WHAT they say or do. "I Love Being Your Daughter." And Daddy Loves being your Father too!

God, Love, and Smile Always!

"I'M GONE!"

DF: 9

"I just had it out with my past! Without breaking my stride, I glanced back for what was the LAST time, before chucking up the deuces, and telling my past: "I'M GONE!""

"Relinquished Strongholds"

DF: 8

Most of which holds us back can be found within our own thought process. An action or a seed that was initially planted and never uprooted winds up growing into a huge stronghold, resembling the appearance of a great redwood tree.

Over time we nourish that seed until it flourishes into our need; even though it is the LAST thing THAT we need.

The appearance of our bondage is not necessarily visible to the naked eye. We dress our reality in garments that rival those of Fashion Week, hoping to garner strength that only disguises the fact that we are weak.

The strongholds of these redwoods are relative to whatever you struggle with on a daily basis. Any type of addiction, depression, self-loathing, anger, confusion, darkness or ambiguity, all pose risks to our continued sanity.

May we relinquish that which holds us back!

May we relinquish and break free from our internal slavery.

May we maximize and not minimize our worth by not equating it with sex.

May we relinquish all of the strong holds that are holding us back, blocking our Blessings and doing their best to destroy us by tearing us apart, one stitching at a time, over the long period of time that we refuse to address them.

May we never tire from removing the "Relinquished Strongholds" from our lives, so that we may finally begin to live!

God, Love, and Smile Always!

"Continuous Reconciliation"

DF: 7

When we repent of our sins, Jesus wipes our slate clean of that sin and we are Forgiven. Forever works in progress we are, the example of Christ is often imitated, but never duplicated, for the Forgiveness process of the flesh is much more intense, involved and detailed.

The compassionate heart of Christ compels His own actions that were dictated by His own Words.

I Pray for a like-compassionate heart like that of Christ, to compel my actions that will also be dictated by His Words.

I Pray that what I SEE, never blurs the Vision that is to BE.

To God Be the Magnificent Glory!

The Vision of Reconciliation starts within the heart, and its outward expression is for the vision-impaired, so that they might "see."

And if the Vision is visible within your greater calling, it is incumbent upon you to be the demonstration for "Continuous Reconciliation."

God, Love, and Smile Always!

"Honorable Humility"

DF: 6

"To live a Life that would compel even my enemies to celebrate me..."

...but it is not the me that I am referring to, rather it is the humility within me that shall speak to the very enemies that will celebrate me. And not because of anything that I have ever done, but it will be due to the "Honorable Humility" that will be exemplified in every victory that is ever won!

To honorably humble myself so that I may be obedient, thus minimizing my own, while accumulating the Lord's vast Spiritual wealth.

The subtraction of me, creates the vacancy within me, that the Lord will then see and utilize in addition to my gratitude, by way of my availability, to Him.

May the humility always present itself no less than honorably. May the celebration be no greater than the humility. For the vicarious nature of the glory, shall never preclude the ultimate destination of His glory, that is to be to God and to God alone.

"To live a Life that would compel even my enemies to celebrate me..."

...by way of "Honorable Humility."

God, Love, and Smile Always!
Corey A. Ford

"Knowledgeable Mind"

DF: 5

May the silence of my voice, enhance the hearing of my ears.

May what I will learn, supersede all that I have learned, thus far.

May my untrained mind, be Righteously trained to complete the Will of the Most High God.

May my former mistakes be acknowledged in the current state, and corrected in my future actions, to not ever repeat again.

May the transformation of my mind, only be preceded by the elevation of a Spiritual articulation, void of any procrastination that would even faintly hinder or erroneously promote a situation in which the expansion of knowledge is strictly confined to that of another mind, as opposed to that of mine, a better, more "Knowledgeable Mind."

God, Love, and Smile Always!

"Fearless Spirit"

DF: 4

The beginning of so many great stories: "Once upon a time..."

...I would have talked myself out of doing something for fear of what I thought the outcome was going to be in my mind. I no longer wonder how many of those times I would have actually been wrong in my immature logical assessment.

Water under the bridge, but thank God that water is no longer stagnant in fear of the infinite possibilities that exist when fear is permanently extracted, subtracted, and eradicated from ALL of Life's promises, to you.

That body of water is now ever-flowing under the Divine direction of my Heavenly's selection. The rip currents of Life may have me swimming parallel to the beach, but I know that I shall not soon tire and will not be consumed out of fear.

God does not grant us the Spirit of fear, so it is incumbent upon us to remind ourselves that fear looks, sounds, feels, tastes, smells and acts like the enemy of the Heavenly.

Sometimes we allow what we do not know to tell us what we should know, even though we are not sure of what it is that we do not know. Fear! But the only relevant fear is that of the Lord, our most High God, which is the beginning of our Wisdom.

Confusion, not God!
Ambiguity, not God!
Chaos, not God!
Scattered, not God!
Cluttered, not God!
Fear, DEFINITELY not God!

The Will of the Father will never lead us down a path that is contrary to the Will of the Father.

There will be no confusion!
There will be no ambiguity!
There will be no chaos!
You will not be scattered!
Clutter-free will be your journey!
And fear can no longer ride shotgun!

Lord, deposit within me a mindset that is void of fear and anything that is contrary to what is pleasing to You. I submit myself unto Thee, free of everything that is even remotely relative or related to fear. I permanently remove what used to bind my mind, what stunted my physical and Spiritual growth, thus hindering me from being closer to Thee. I relinquish it ALL, for now I am free in my "Fearless Spirit" to worship Thee in ALL that I do, in ALL that I say and in ALL that I am. In Jesus' Precious Name. Amen!

God, Love, and Smile Always!

"Wise Heart"

DF: 3

When I got just a taste of this thing called Agape Love, I had to regurgitate what I just consumed, so that I may consume it again for no less than a 2nd time. To be able to Love in such an unconditional manner requires one to change everything that they know, and all that they thought they knew, in order to recondition themselves to be able to send and receive such a Love unparalleled, a Love unconditional, a Love all encompassing and a Love so Divine!

The Love on my sleeve SCREAMED Agape! But, as I anxiously "searched" for a Love so similar, the fact that the search was unnecessary escaped the circumference of my heart and drifted to a place where Agape was not to be found.

The visual of my sleeve admittedly allowed the wrong kind to get too close as they perpetrated a temporal, watered-down version of "agape."

Therein, the lesson ensued! You do not have to "search" for what you already are: Love!

Agape will find Agape, and Love only as it can.

When you represent the truth, you do not concern yourself with the lies, for they are not a representation of anything beneficial to you. Nor will they ever be.

You do not have to "search" for what you already are: Love!

Agape will find Agape, and Love only as it can.

Lord, may You grant me the "Wise Heart," to discern the intentions of ALL hearts, so that all of my parts are in agreement with Your Heart, and ultimately pleasing to You. Amen!

God, Love, and Smile Always!

"Spiritual Warfare"

DF: 2

I've prepared my mind for battle, knowing that victory is imminent, and that all chatter of my defeat is simply irrelevant. My physical stature resembles the pillar of strength that personifies the God that lives within me!

To Die, Is To Gain!

My entire Life I have carried burdens, tried to fix things on my own, neglecting other things in order to do what I "thought," was the right thing to do.

To Die, Is To Gain!

Most recently, God allowed the cruel and malicious intentions of my enemies to be used to remove something so precious to me, in order for Him to get my attention, that He is God and God alone! That I do not try to "fix" what He has said He will fix, as soon as I lay my burdens down.

To Die, Is To Gain!

It was not an intentional act of disobedience to God, rather it was just a way of Life for me, for as long as I can remember. As the oldest of six, I fix. As the Father to my children, I fix. As a professional person, I fix. As a member of anything that I am associated with, I fix. But, not this time, Corey.

In order for God to bring me into the fullness of what He has purposed for me in my Life, He needed to get my attention by removing something so dear to my heart. Quite the stubborn existence that it took such a drastic measure in order for His Will to be done in me. Nothing but the Will of the Father, shall EVER be done! My complete and undivided attention is now His, OBEDIENTLY!

To Die, Is To Gain!

For where I am headed, I need not carry the burdens any longer, and it is ok to share in them with the Blessings in the form of people so close to my heart, that He has purposed within my Life, to be a part of the journey within my Life.

To Die, Is To Gain!

I'm grateful to my enemies, because God also used "you," in order to bring me closer to Him. What a great bartering system that was. "You" did to me, and He turns right around and does FOR "me." Exactly why He gets the Glory!!! Amen!!!

To Die, Is To Gain!

Enemies are nothing more than silent admirers. Their desire about you has something to do with what you represent. I mean otherwise, why would they even bother? Why would someone continuously conjure up instead of letting go, if their desire has nothing to do with you?

Although you thought that you had the victory, by default, God's Will DEFEATED my enemies. You just don't know it yet!

To Die, Is To Gain!

A part of Corey had to DIE, in order for the Glory to LIVE!

To Die, Is To Gain!

And I have gained so much in my immediate demise, that it is now feasible and possible for me to live, to do the work of the Father in accordance to His Will!

To Die, Is To Gain!

Self-awareness and discovery have me standing no less than par for the course, irrespective of the courses design!

To Die, Is To Gain!

No longer will I be ill-prepared, for the "Spiritual Warfare."

I Died, In Order to Gain!

God, Love, and Smile Always!

"Voice of Prayer"

DF: 1

Allow the Spirit to choose the words that will speak the right emotions, as I commit myself, to devoting all of myself, to something greater than myself, in order to inherit all of the Kingdom's Spiritual prosperity and wealth!

May my "Voice of Prayer" speak through all of the layers, arriving at the center of it all, erecting an infrastructure whose foundation will forever prohibit it to fall.

May my voice always remain abundantly and crystal clear. And may my actions always speak louder, than the voice that You hear.

May my "Voice of Prayer" stutter not a single syllable, as it announces all in God's perfect time. I will never not Love, what is truly and rightfully mine.

May You always HEAR, as I declare, VICTORY against all enemies, in my "Voice of Prayer."

God, Love, and Smile Always!

"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!"

To God Be the Wonderfully Magnificent Glory, for an All the BEST, All the TIME Existence!

All the BEST, All the TIME!

"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.

"Cleanse Your Palate"

I wake up with this unspeakable joy in my heart, tasting every word, chewing on each of the sentences, clinging to the very last bite before I digest what I have just consumed, until I realize that unspeakable joy does not ever part from you. It shall always be upon, with and a part of you, from its conception within you.

"Cleanse Your Palate," and prepare to taste your very own unspeakable joy.

"Conform to His Grace"

I arise with Love in my heart, to not soon part ways with Life's brand new start. The past is where it belongs, but I am thankful that it revealed all that was right, and I am grateful that it revealed all that was wrong. A song of praise emanates from my lips. The glory is in staying close, adjoined to my Lord's hips. To never part from His presence, and to always seek His face. May I be transformed forever, only to "Conform to His Grace."

"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!

"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.
