"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!

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

To God Be the Magnificently Awesome Glory!

"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.

True Story!

"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.

To God Be the Awesome Glory!

"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.

"Adopt It!"

The mere fact that the Lord saw fit to once again fill my lungs with air, means that his purpose for my Life is still there, hence my presence here!!!

Whatever the days foster my way, is only designed to teach me the way, by way of His impartation, in preparation for inevitable elevation!

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!"

"Only Love Remains"

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.

"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!"

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.

"Loves Embrace"

"Loves Embrace" has never relinquished me from its grasp and continues to Love me despite an admitted immature past.

But, what could I have possibly garnered by way of experience, knowledge, Life lessons, lessons learned, coupled with the sincere appreciation of what God's Grace and Mercy are all about, had I actually been mature, all throughout?

It was an honor to once be a fool if the Lord was sharpening me, His tool, to be able to rebuild again, as if I always knew the true meaning of what it is to be a friend.

May I Love as Love has so Loved me, forever changing the selfish me, to the selfless we.

The cost of being an example for God is more than some are willing to ever pay. But He has satisfied any outstanding balance that I could not have ever afforded to pay.

The cost to me was the relinquishment of me, so that His demonstration of Him, could be something for others to see.

If immaturity was the leader of my ambiguity, then God's revolution was the only, natural solution. His great compassion blot out my transgressions and through forgiveness, therein lies all of my Life Lessons.

The thought of His face and "Loves Embrace" that has never relinquished me from its grasp and continues to Love me despite an admitted immature past.

Maturity has arrived ever so beautifully!

Thank You Jesus!

"Find the Silver Lining"

Deeply marinated within or skimming the surface of is where you will find and where exists the lesson within the Blessing that has been disguised as adversity should you only stand in the midst of and allow it to reveal itself to you in the form of experience.

Do not run from or shy away from things that seem uncomfortable to you. For you do not grow within the confines of comfort but on the exterior where discomfort reshapes and your thought process to get you acclimated with what used to be uncomfortable, but is not so anymore.

Growth is not optional when Love is unconditional. It becomes a mandatory necessity in the absence of ambiguity. We continue what was started, irrespective of the departed and we look towards Heaven to acknowledge what has been imparted, to us.

Our goal in Life becomes a single action item, which is to: "Find the Silver Lining." What positivity can be derived from this negativity that is in and or around my Life? Where is the good in this perceived or realized bad?

The Love of God is truly unconditional, so our growth is not optional and whatever we may face in Life shall always pale in comparison to God's Grace. The overall silver lining is God. The underlined silver lining are Blessings from God that will reshape and remold us so that we become better acclimated to our growth.

It matters not what you grow through, but what you ultimately become when you always make a conscious effort to "Find the Silver Lining," in and for your Life.

"Nobody But Jesus!"

You need not look far out on the horizon or go anywhere up yonder in order to find people that are hurting and crying out in pain, be it self-inflicted or the recipient of.

Just take a solemn look around and look beyond what you see aesthetically, cosmetically and superficially. You see we have learned to hide it well, but thank God for being able to see right through us. Thank God for prescribing just what we need way before we learn that we are even sick to begin with or that a need even exists.

Who knows better than He, what we stand in the need of...

Be it at work, in the home, YOUR home, in the Church, or just out and about, know that someone, somewhere stands in the need of reassurance, a warm embrace, a genuine Smile, a happy "hello," a kind gesture, a delicate touch, a gentle something to give them just an ounce of encouragement that everything is going to be alright.

Sometimes we soon forget about the greatness of the Lord and that our efforts alone are efforts in vain because we struggle to maintain when we foolishly fight battles that were not designed for us to win, rather designed for us to bare witness to His ability to defeat our adversity in any situation or circumstance, depositing within us an unwavering Faith that directs our path and rids us of the hurt and pain that we know we can escape, because through Christ Jesus, we are already free!

But freedom is not free! When you become liberated, you must show others how to they too can become free. On the other side of hurt and pain exists joy and happiness. And although hurt and pain cannot recognize joy and happiness until it is formally introduced, joy and pain can readily identify who and what hurt and pain resembles and looks like, since it used to be a representation of who and what YOU used to resemble and look like.

In your new vision, the Blessing that you have been Blessed with needs to now pay it forward and turn someone else's hurt and pain into that same joy and happiness that Christ uses to sustain us as we "stand in" all the while that we "grow through."

When they see the face, hear the voice or recognize the actions, may the familiarity be "Nobody But Jesus!"

"I'm Grateful!"

The Blood of Christ has cleansed my defeats and forever placed me in the winner's circle with the nucleus and the center of my joy being the reason for my being, the spark to my fire, that tireless desire, to take aim, strategize, claim and ascend to something higher.

To not ever flee from adversity, for it lasts contrary to infinity, yet its existence changes the course of my existence, by making it even more mightily. "I'm Grateful!"

It is not what was done, rather what He allowed, in order to prune the irrelevant, for a path to plow. "I'm Grateful!"

I first understood not, for it is not about you, irrespective of the fact, that it is happening to you. "I'm Grateful!"

It is about Him, and what He has deposited within, in order to demonstrate His might, their defeat, which culminates to your win. "I'm Grateful!"

I fear not what I can't see, because my sight is by Faith. So, whatever takes aim at me, is nothing but a waste. "I'm Grateful!"

No need to stand in line, in order to receive what is mine. When your Faith has been restored, your sight is no longer blind.

"Where I'll Start...Turn the Page"

Life is not about how you start, but indeed how you finish. So, as you are crossing the finish line in this chapter of your Life, you may not be able to restart what you have just concluded, but you can and should will yourself to start the next chapter of your Life better off than you did the previous.

Do not spurn what you have learned, just because it is not your turn. For no one exits their season of harvest empty-handed when the sole purpose was to replenish your soul with all that was missing before.

Trust that what is meant for you has a non-transferable clause affixed to it. Therefore when the blessings have your name squarely written on them, no one else can cash them in because they are not, nor do they represent, you.

Customized Blessings are like tailor-made suits. They never quite fit the way they will undoubtedly fit the intended recipient, who they were initially made for. So, do not worry yourself about what someone else has or have going on. It has their name written on it. And soon enough, yours will too.

With that said, forge through your Life knowing that irrespective of what others have, you too have something that they do not have in the form of customized Blessings that they too cannot cash in because they are not, nor do they represent, you.

When you know that you have something on the horizon that awaits you, you are then able to walk about and be about your business with joy in your heart, Love in your Spirit and Peace within your soul.

Joy, Peace and happiness unified, the single source to that of my heart. By way of Love, that is "Where I'll Start" the next chapter of my Life, compliments of joy, Peace and happiness.

The next chapter just requires one thing for you to do: "Turn the Page."

Smile and have a wonderfully Blessed day!

"Happiness Ball"

As a child, there was no bigger spoiler than, and I never quite understood the person, that would get upset and selfishly take their ball and go home.  I never knew that the significance of this would become such an incredible Life lesson that would continue to give in the form of understanding what is most important in Life.

Whenever this event occurred, it was a sour moment for all that were involved, those who were participating and playing with the source of our perceived happiness.  And then, just like that, the ball and our happiness along with the owner were gone, for whatever reason, mostly and unfortunately out of selfishness.
 
Years later as I reflect back on this same event that repeats itself across playgrounds all around the world, I am thankful for the seed of inspiration that has been planted in order for the experience to take root and spring forth an understanding that is more rewarding than playing with that ball to begin with.  You see Life is not about what happens to you, but instead how you respond to the things that happen to you in Life.
 
It is easy for your happiness to be sabotaged when you are dependent upon someone else to define your happiness.
 
That happiness resides within you! 

By the time you arrive at Life's playground to play, your happiness should have directed and lead the way.  So, if and when that ball is taken away, it matters not because your joy and happiness are both here to stay!
 
The same rule applies to relationships as well.  Do not look for someone to make you happy or to complete you.  You should already be happy and complete by the time and before you even first meet.  That way you will be able to add to that happiness and have a deeper sense of completion.  You wouldn't dare turn in a paper to your teacher or professor that wasn't complete expecting them to complete it for you or on your behalf, would you?  So why would you offer yourself in the same form for someone else to complete?  Afterall, what if you did not like the results of what was completed and it was not the best representation of you?  Then you would have no one else to blame, but you.  For only you can best represent you.  No one else can do it better than you.
 
So, in order to avoid that, fill your own void with Love and happiness and do not allow either to be sabotaged and remain independent so no one else has the right or the privilege to define your happiness.
 
And irrespective of which one of Life's playgrounds that you find yourself on, you will already be in possession of your very own "Happiness Ball."  It is better than that other thing that they say you should never leave home without.

Smile and have a wonderfully happy and Blessed day!

"Adhere to the Call"

It may be painful, but you cannot consciously nor subconsciously ignore the call of God when He is summoning you to be bigger than what you are, to go further than where you are, to think bigger than you currently are, to see bigger than you know you are and to be wiser than you think you are.

The pain that you experience is not the pain of Loving God, but is relative to the growing pains that you must endure in order to alter who you once were, to becoming who God needs you to be!

The pain is strictly contingent upon our willingness to change and the accompanying stubbornness that we have grown to expect of ourselves.

But God's Glory is not contained within our inabilities, rather His Glory is contained within our abilities that we acquire once we start to grow through Him.

The more that we selflessly give of ourselves the more that He selflessly gives of Himself. But the capacity of us to Him is not a simple 1:1, rather a 1:Many that really cannot be quantified within the realm of our comprehension.

Our only requirement is that of trust in what He has done and will continue to do in our lives should we satisfy the single requirement of trust, that will afford us the wonderful opportunity to believe in everything that we have yet to see, but know that He has already done.

Have you ever heard His voice speaking to you in your Life before?

Did you not answer for fear of the acceptance of change that would accompany the acknowledgment of His voice?

Where were you when you first heard God calling your name?

Confront the fear that has been anchoring you down and "Adhere to the Call" as soon as you hear the sound, of His voice.

"Full of His Glory!"

My heart is aflutter,
My words I no longer stutter,
And I have been raised all the way up to the mansions,
From that of the humble beginnings of the gutter.

You do what You say,
You did what You said,
And here I am,
Able to stand,
With an insatiable appetite,
That is constantly being Spiritually fed.

The weight of my burdens have been eased,
By the weight of Your righteousness.

To do what you feel,
To be what you believe,
To live a Life trusting in You,
You conceived,
Therefore, I achieve.

Your seed was planted,
And even when it was taken for granted,
Your Grace and Mercy,
Replanted.

I have emptied self of self,
Completely abandoning the shell of Corey,
To God I give it all,

"Stronger and Wiser"

You will always be able to derive some form of positivity from any negative situation, so long as you train yourself to focus on the silver lining that exists within each and every one of those dark clouds. For those dark clouds were not meant to destroy you, but were designed to make you "Stronger."

The Life experiences that you grow through were not meant to make you feel intellectually or socially inadequate or inept. The silver lining is that they were designed to make you "Wiser."

The combination of the two will help you solidify what you once thought and what you now know, were designed to make you both "Stronger and Wiser."

A big thank you to my enemies for pushing me away and shunning me. For your ignorance forbid you to know that you were actually working on His behalf and pushing me even closer to Him. Who, but God to orchestrate His plan to perfection? Rhetorical, but I do thank you for your participation in the elevation of my strength and wisdom.

God will use your enemies as your foot stool in order to lift you higher, well above the fray, irrespective of what is aimed at or comes your way. For it matters not when you become "Stronger and Wiser" as well as knowledgeable with respect to WHO is actually calling the shots.

I Love and adore the Lord with my whole heart!

The depths of my past were not deep enough to contain me and not allow God to bring me up out of them and destroy the malicious intentions of those that were not aware of not "who I am," but, "Who's I am."

"Stronger and Wiser!"

Therefore, I will sing the Praises of the Lord for all of the days of my Life, until the consumption of my very last breath!

Residing in weakness with a community of ignorance has no place in God's Gated Community of "Stronger and Wiser."

"Heart to Heart Resuscitation"

When I used to wake up to those loveless days, it was because I was Spiritually DOA. But when the Spirit touched my soul and performed "Heart to Heart Resuscitation" I came alive and felt compelled and obliged to live, to Love and to get up from lying down in a state of defeat just because my feet were tired and weary from walking down the wrong paths in search of.

Instead, at the direction of the Spirit, I became strong in Love by standing up in the name of, to never again neglect the Promise of Love just because someone once broke their Promise of Love, to me.
No more elaborate pity parties where the host, guest and late arrivals were all synonymous with the host, guest and late arrivals.

When I got up from being flatlined in Love, I did the best thing that one can do for oneself. I fell back in Love with me all over again. Vain it is not, but paramount to the example of Love, it is. For if I Love me the way that He so Loves me, then I will never allow anyone to Love me less than, ever again.

Deeply marinated in the broth of God's Love, I devoured the contents in order to allow the consumption to guide my direction, forever protecting my heart from the ones that chose to depart. And now, my heart is smart! Intelligent Love that intellectually speaks to my heart, thus providing me with the nutrients that shall never depart from within and keeping those without, from ever gaining access again.

"Heart to Heart Resuscitation" gave me another chance at Love and until my heart beats within the hands of Christ, may I Love the way that He Loves so that I may never Love you less than, irrespective of the variance of my Love to that of yours.

An intelligent Love reaches a receptive heart and true Love shall not ever part, unless it is to bring you even closer to a deeper Love that is to be experienced by way of the deepest Love, in order to bring to your surface the existence and presentation of Love, as it invades the existence that is lying there, Spiritually DOA, until the performance of the same "Heart to Heart Resuscitation" touches their soul, bringing them back to Life, compelling and obliging them to live, to Love and to get up from lying down in a state of defeat as they now sprint down the right path, no longer in search of what already exists within themselves.

A healthy heart can only heal an unhealthy heart and make whole that broken heart. Allow my healthy heart to touch your unhealthy or broken heart as these words perform "Heart to Heart Resuscitation."

May we grow deeper in Love, no longer searching for what now exists in every aspect of our lives. For we now represent Love and instead of searching for, like Love will be drawn to like Love in the form of more Love, to be recognized and acknowledged by the intellectual Love that brought you back from being dead in, to being alive again, due in every part, to "Heart to Heart Resuscitation."

King Jesus! He got up!

"Instead, Love!"

There always exists an opportunity to do something and or to be someone that serves a cause that expands beyond the circumference of your existence.

The Faithful know this to be true, but human nature mandates reminders that our hearts are indeed Faithful and should not be swayed to a destination that is void of direction and minus the protection of God's Faithfulness to us. One might be able to regift, but it is not necessary to refact the fact, that what we do and who we become is not unknown to God.

Therefore, Love, irrespective of the hate that wants you to hate. Continue to always subscribe to something bigger and better, preferably the latter. And focus not on the mindset of those that are small and ultimately, do not even matter.

"Instead, Love!"

"I Look Back Not to Go Back, But to Bare Witness to Just How Far I Have Come"

I wake up in the middle of the night, with yet another Blog in which to write. But why do I pretend to be surprised, when it is Christ who's vision that I see through my eyes. He wakes me in order to task me ever since He asked, "who shall I send," and I was bold enough to say, "why doesn't He ask me?"

After all that He has done, I will gladly go and do work on behalf of the Son. I know not the limitations that used to define me. He relinquished their grasp in order for me to find me. And as a microscopic gesture of my appreciation, the manner in which I shall live my Life will serve as a Loving dedication to the Who, What, Where and Why with total respect to my Spiritual elevation.

"Bigger Than All I Can See"

The vision that is within me cannot be contained to an internal address that is only known by the visionary.

Although it is customary to internalize your vision until it needs to be realized, I would much rather live my vision externally for others to realize how it is composed internally, thus living the vision as it materializes into the purpose that has been planned specifically for it.

Living in transparency gives way to privacy, but still yields to the delicacy of intimacy. For you do not have to reveal it all, in order to be an example to all.

Every single one of my visions are bigger than my abilities, but are all possible through God's certainty, as I avail myself deliberately, in order to convey messages authoritatively. As an act of contrition, I humble myself, in gentle submission.

And then He replenishes me. For my Faith is "Bigger Than All I Can See."

Chapter 1: “When You’ve Been Blessed”

Snippet:

"When You've Been Blessed" you most certainly need to share in your Blessings with those that may have been less fortunate or not AS fortunate as the Blessing that has been bestowed upon you. You thus create your continued Blessings by being one TO someone. Why would God not Bless the ones that are Blessing others?

The reciprocity of Blessings is more important than the actual Blessing itself. Should you do nothing with it and not pass it on, it was insultingly all for naught.

My Mother used to say, "people are in your Life for seasons or reasons. It is not up to us to determine which one they are here for, but it is up to us to make the best of it, the most out of it and treat the participation in our lives as a Blessing: good, bad and otherwise."

I Pray that every Life that crosses paths with my Life is made better, whether or not I know it or not. The only thing that I can do, is my part. Therefore, I shall play my position, practice my role and be the best that I can be at ALL times, since the best is expected of me, at ALL times.

"Through Him and because of Him"

My life has already been outlined for me to meticulously color in between the lines with as much flavor and color as I can muster, to demonstrate that NOTHING about me is impossible. "Through Him and because of Him," I'mPossible!

"Back on My Feet"

I was down, but I was far from out,
My familiarity with God's Grace and Mercy was that it was only mapping out a much better route

I stay on my knees and I will always give Him the Glory,
I may indeed be the author, but He is the only publisher to and for my story

I had time to reflect, irrespective of the presence of a paycheck,
Thank You Jesus because when I need a deposit, Your funds are always direct

Where I would be is unbeknownst to me,
But the presence of adversity only brings me closer to my Heavenly

I am grateful, I am humble,
By myself I trip and fall, but with the Lord, I only stumble

Nothing but reminders,
Of what it was once like moving about with peripheral blinders

I now see both vertically and horizontally,
My God, I Thank You for always keeping me

You've kept me in your midst and no more than an arms length away,
I fear not, I hear Your voice, and even in my weakness, I shall not ever stray

The words of gratitude escape my penmanship,
But my heart knows the depths of my eternal relationship, with You

May my thoughts, words, and actions disappoint You not,
I'm here, I'm Yours, and I inhabit the space that You have designated as my spot

To You, I give all of the Glory,
Thank You for my presence, and allowing me to write this part of the story

Thank You Lord, for putting me "Back on My Feet."
