I AM who GOD says, I AM!

Connecting with People from our Past or even Family that have wronged us in some way will take Wisdom and Truth.

It is not always necessary to drag the past into the present, but incidents rooted in pain, betrayal, abandonment, abuse and unforgiveness can not be mended without Truth.

It's like trying to connect two broken puzzle pieces.

I thank GOD for King David's testimony about the POWER of GOD in his life concerning his own brothers and father. He did not allow their lack of faith in him to deter him from being the Man GOD called him to be. When faced with his wrong he accepted his responsibility and went to be counted as (A Man After God's own heart.)

Friends,

Our inheritance and portions are not determined by natural affiliations, but by the hand of GOD on our lives. King David had an army before he had a Kingdom, and Jesus was the Savior before the fall of man.

You don't have to prove who you are to anybody, you just have to accept your Chosen position.

Selah!

Ephesians 1 Msg Bible
11-12 It’s in Christ that we find out who we are and what we are living for. Long before we first heard of Christ and got our hopes up, he had his eye on us, had designs on us for glorious living, part of the overall purpose he is working out in everything and everyone.

13-14 It’s in Christ that you, once you heard the truth and believed it (this Message of your salvation), found yourselves home free—signed, sealed, and delivered by the Holy Spirit. This signet from God is the first installment on what’s coming, a reminder that we’ll get everything God has planned for us, a praising and glorious life.

Appraise Your Life

Relationships end or begin because of many reasons, but within the top three would be (Value.)

Value
1.the regard that something is held to deserve; the importance, worth, or usefulness of something.
2.a person's principles or standards of behavior; one's judgment of what is important in life.

I know it is not a concept that many people think about, but to a degree we are in a relationship with ourselves in how we connect or establish outside entities.

Relationship
the way in which two or more concepts, objects, or people are connected, or the state of being connected.

How we connect to Our Faith, Relationships, Careers, and Things determine our own value in itself.

I personally set High Standards so when those Standards are not met, I know how much of myself to invest or when to remove myself because of the lack of a return (value).

Ask yourself this.

1. How important is my overall health?
2.How does people, places, outside stresses or my self esteem effect my health?
3. What am I going to do about?

I urge you to put these things in perspective to determine are you (valuable, important, or useful enough to make some changes.

Selah!

Personal Reflection

ROMANS 13:10
Love does no harm to a neighbor. Therefore love is the fulfillment of the law.

Lay it on the Cross

We are only the clay and God is the Potter if we so chose to let him mold us into the purpose he sees fit.

Our lives are made up of choices that have a direct effect on our lives and a cast off effect on others. Let us lay down all of our bad choices, negative mindsets, unforgiveness, and the hidden matters of our hearts to leave church alive in Christ. Let people, places and situations discover for themselves that we can not be found partaking in anything that is not pure, true, lovely, and praise worthy for the sake of the Cross.

Jesus will lead you today, and forever.

A Simple Prayer:
Lord, come into my heart. I surrender my all to you. I believe you sent your son, Jesus, to die on the cross for my sins and through him alone I am saved and set free. In Jesus Name Amen.

If you believe what you just prayed, you are redeemed and free. Ask God to lead you to the right ministry to strengthen you through his Word. Pray for direction and wisdom, especially as you dig deeper to have a personal relationship with Jesus.

John 10: 14-18
“I am the good shepherd; I know my sheep and my sheep know me— just as the Father knows me and I know the Father—and I lay down my life for the sheep. I have other sheep that are not of this sheep pen. I must bring them also. They too will listen to my voice, and there shall be one flock and one shepherd.
