When it comes to us and our growth with the Lord..it’s all on us..for sometimes we can talk and talk to people about the Lord..we can give advice…we can pray for them…but at the end of it all it’s always the person and what they choose to do…for no one really listens to anyone..we already have for ourselves made up in our minds what were gonna do..even when you’ve asked others for their opinions or what not..even then you already know what your going to do..so just know that we can’t play the blame game and blame everyone else around us..the reason why we do whatever it is that we ourselves are doing..that’s why the bible says that each of us are to work out our own salvation with fear and trembling..Philippians 2:12..for we all must choose for ourselves if we are or are not going to live a life that is pleasing to the Lord..it’s not about anyone else and what their doing..but it’s always about what were doing..and as I said the choice and that decision is always ours for the making…for we can do anything we so desire to do..no one makes us do anything..we can grow and learn as much as we ourselves desire to…we can make good decisions if we ourselves so desire to..everything in our life is always stemmed by the choices that we ourselves have made..so I believe that when we take responsibility for our own actions in life..we will grow and learn when we do..for I love the quote that says people would learn from their mistakes if they were’t so busy denying them…for we live in a false pretense life..we live a life as to if were hidden from sins..or were gonna be hidden from our choices that we’ve made..but rest assured our choices and our decisions always find us along lives pathway..for we always get back what we have given..for some say karma..but I say the principle of reaping what we’ve sown..Galatians 6:7..so today let us not focus so much on others and what their doing in their life..but let us rather focus our attention on us and what were doing guys..for one day and it may not be too long from now..we have to go and stand before the Lord our God and give an account for ourselves and the reasons why we did whatever in the world it was..Romans 14:12..no one else is or will be able to take our place..just us..standing there before Jesus…and He is gonna ask us about us..He won’t ask us about anyone else..and what they done..but He will about what we’ve done..and why we done the things that we did..or why we didn’t do certain things..so daily we work on us..we pick up our crosses and follow the Lord..Matthew 16:24..we pray..we read…we love..and we do unto others as we would like for them to do unto us..and yet once again we go out and we love all not merely few..shining and living our lives always with that one thought in mind and that is we are pleasing Jesus..with everything we do and with everything we say..that we are making a difference in this life..all by giving this life and this ole world the Lord..for that’s what we all need more than anything at all..we need God like never before…we need Him in our work places..we need Him in the grocery stores..we need Him in the parks…we need Him in the gyms…we need Him in the church houses..we need the Lord in the Sunday school class rooms..we need Him on the soccer fields…we need Him in the restaurants…we need Him in the drive throughs…we need Him wherever it is that we may be..and wherever we are there give the Lord…for you never know where or when a life will forever be changed..for you never know what others are facing..and when we work on us and we try to help ourselves get better and be better..we are always more apt to helping others as well be better and get better..so just know that everything you do matters..and just know that somewhere..someone out there is watching you and your life..so make sure to be living it the way that you should be living it…don’t be back and forth in who you are..don’t be hot and cold..always being and living your life up and down..but you be steadfast always abounding in the work of God..don’t be deceived..and don’t look back..and when the devil comes around trying to tempt you or get you off course you just remind him that you have been there and done that..and you ain’t going there again..but your pressing forward and your moving forward into the abundance that Christ Jesus has prepared just for you…so keep on keeping on guys…don’t grow weary…always take it one day at a time..living in the right now of life..not in the yesterday’s of life..and not in the tomorrow’s of life..but living it to the fullest in the time that were in at this very moment..living it knowing that you are doing better then what you were..knowing that you are growing and knowing that the Lord has changed you and set you free..so hold your head up..and keep on looking up..for we all know what they say..that looking up is the secret of life..for by looking up we are to be looking up into the face of Jesus..always and forever..so keep on looking up..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
