“Always learning something!”

So through everything that any of us ever will go through in all of our lives we are constantly and forever going to be learning something…so as for me I have this cute little doggy..named Gizmo..and he is so little but as well he has huge personality…he thinks he rules the roost so to speak…and that is so hard for me because I do not like disobedience…I always say I have a good son and a bad one..lol..and well, Gizmo is that bad one..whatever he feels he wants to do he does it..and he does whatsoever..he doesn’t listen at all..so this morning he decided that he was just not going out to use the potty..so he just goes ahead and makes a mess all in our living room..and that is another one of my pet peeves..I do not like messes..so with this little doggy..I get messes that I am continually cleaning up..and as well I get a big and huge personality and all of that disobedience..that’s what this little guy brings to the table all of that cuteness and all..and he makes me so mad at him..but all at the same time I love this little guy so much…and there’s been times…many times I’m not gonna lie that I would just love to give this little doggy away to someone…but I cannot for the life of me do it..because he is mine..all of  the mess and all that big personality is mine..but this morning as I was talking with the Lord..I was saying all of this to God..and yeah the Lord knows all about Gizmo..believe me..He is constantly hearing about Gizmo..because well Gizmo is just Gizmo…lol..but as I was thinking and talking with the Lord..I just felt like us as Gods children..and at how we mess up and make so many mistakes..and do things and say things..and have that sometimes disobedient spirit about us..and that bad behavior about us..and at how even though we do these things from time to time..that not once does God give up on us..Amen!..or does He ever turn His back on us..but He just loves us through our messes that we make..and He just loves us through all of our disobedient selfs…because it always takes me to knowing that the word says that not one is perfect no not one..Romans 3:10..and as well it says if you only do good to them that do good what reward do you have..Matthew 5:46..so through the things that each of us go through we are learning something from the Lord..but the biggest thing that I have learned with my little Gizmo is that love covers a multitude of sins..1 Peter 4:8…and that love prevails every time.1 Corinthians 13:7..for love always makes you hold on..no matter what..and you never give up when you love…but you will fight tooth and nail for them ones that you love..so today…If you have a bad relationship…or maybe a bad friendship..marriage..or have children being a little disobeident…or what not…just overcome it all with love..for love wins..and love wins every single time..for when we deal with things that we don’t want to be dealing with…it grows us..and as well it shows us what were made of..cause we don’t always get everything in life our way…we do deal and we will deal with a whole lot things..and with a whole lot of different personalities…but once again guys we don’t let what others are doing steal away from us and our joy..but we do our best to remain peaceful throughout it all..and we do our best to give love to all and not merely few..knowing that we overcome evil with good..Romans 12:21..and as well that to whom much is given much is required..Luke 12:48..and as for me well I am required to deal with a little tiny doggy..that has a big huge personality..for he has taught me so much thus far..but I’m learning…even through my doggy…I’m learning how to love despite the fact of all of his messes…and I pray that you as well are learning how to love all through all of their messes that they may be bringing to you and your life..learning to love the ones that aren’t so kind or loving..the ones that aren’t doing things your way…them ones that just do things and say things and are just all around hard to deal with…because we need to grow through it..but not let ourselves be changed into someone were not while going through it..but rather let us be developing our fruit…for it should alway be very ripened for us and our walks with Christ..so let us work on us and how were choosing to deal with the not so easy to deal with…for once again it’s not about them…it’s about us..Amen…so let us grow…let us learn..and let us shine for our Lord..In Jesus’ name…I do ask and pray…Amen and Amen…Be blessed today my dear sweet friends and remember wherever you go and whatever you do, Be a light for our Father, Much love to you all, Mandi
