Grace to the Humble

-
God resists the proud, yet gives Grace to the humble. (James 4:6) Pride depreciates the value of your gift. What ever you are graced to do will lose its effect in haughtiness. Never allow the lust of the flesh, lust of the eye or the pride of life to be your driving force. We are called to be servants of all. If pride drives you, you will only accomplish being a servant of self. Self Service equals Self Sabotage. Self sabotage is a slow, low boiling pot to destruction. It doesn't get you there fast, but it gets you there with certainty. Don't be deceived. Pride is selfish, pride is Arrogant, pride is self-seeking, pride is very dogmatic and pride kills. Whatever gift God has granted you, stay humble. God resists the proud and will allow you to work your gift with no grace. Grace is sufficiency to us. The dictionary defines suffiency as enough or adequate. Grace is all we need. Pride is succulent to the tongue but bitter to the stomach. It is a deadly additive with a savory taste. Pride will always depreciate your value in the sight of the Lord, for He resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble.

Seeds are planted to GROW!

-
When a planter plants seeds, he plants them on open soil. The soil may not be fully aware that seeds are being laid, but if its open the farmer has the right to plant to bring a harvest. Some of our hearts are like that open soil. If its open and a farmer comes to plant you may not know why he's planting, what he's planting and even when he planted. However if he did and you were open, that seed HAS been planted. Now you are the carrier of the seed, it has begun the process of growth and reaping. If the right elements come and nurture that seed, it WILL began to grow. All that seed needs to do is get connected with the right life source and its ALL OVER. Hence a baby. There is eggs that will have been in a women's body way before the seed, but once it gets connected to that seed breeding begins. Be careful what you open your heart to, because if its a bad seed you may not have seen it go in but if it gets connected to the right situation, conversation, attitude, disposit

What are you hearing?

When me and the Lord have conversations, He talks to me in lamen terms. He speaks very plain so I have no excuse to say I didn't understand. Here is something he boldy told me and I would like to share it with you: Don't ask to hear my voice if your intention is not to be attentive. Don't ask me to speak if your not even paying attention. You will always listen to what you are paying the most attention to. All things speak, which one is loudest to you? That is what is most important to you. I am a gentleman so if there is alot of noise and multiple voices, its not ME. I am not the author of confusion. He told me this on a day when I was getting overwhelmed about some things that were going on in my life. I started jumping ship mentally in some areas in my life, because I felt like it was TOO MUCH going on. Then God nicely reminded me. I am very simple and MY path is narrow where not much can fit. So if your getting tripped up by a whole bunch of things that did not even

Damaged Relationships

-
The holidays are different for me now. Instead of people coming home to see me, now I am the one coming home. I uprooted from all things familiar and moved to a new land. So coming home is also coming back. I am coming back to familiar places, things and people. That can be exciting yet a little awkward depending upon how it was left. I saw someone recently that brought up all kind of emotions when my eyes rested on them. Everything raced through my head to tell them my true feelings, disappointments and deserved reads. Its a different kind of hurt when its revealed to you that someone pretended a relationship for the sake of their own malice intentions. It never seems fair when you are vulnerable but the other party is not as vulnerable. You feel like you gave a piece of yourself away for free. Don't even think of tallying time. Not only did you waste energy but time. In those short three seconds of assessing what reaction I should give. I gave a smile. That revealed a lot. Som
