Sweet Revenge, or a Forgiving Heart!


“ ‘Do not seek revenge or bear a grudge against anyone among your people, but love your neighbor as yourself. I am the Lord".
Leviticus 19:18 NIV

Have you been in a situation where you've been the one who was mistreated, done dirty, and disrespected? I have, and it doesn't feel good...it hurts! What do hurt people do? They hurt people... so the cycle would I assume continue..you hurt me I hurt you back and so on.. As Christians we do nothing! You hurt me, I'll hurt but let it go! Allowing God to handle my situation according to his will, not according to my feelings!

<<The bible tells us that revenge is not ours!
"Do not take revenge, my dear friends, but leave room for Godʼs wrath, for it is written: “It is mine to avenge; I will repay,” says the Lord".
Romans 12:19 NIV>>

Then in the following verse God tells us, ['if they (the person who hurt you) are hungry feed them, if they are thirsty provide them with something to drink']! It takes a strong person to endure pain especially from someone whom you love and just walk away! Not allowing yourself to be overcome with evil but over come by good through christ! I tell you that is LOVE! You hurt me, but I love you enough to take it and walk away because I love you too much to hurt you back! That is obedience, because it's God's choice how and when they deserve their punishment. That's faith because you've totally given him yourself and your trust!

Revenge is not ours! And if you've let it go you have no business waiting for the next persons downfall! It kills me when ppl want to watch or wait for the Wrath of God towards someone who hurt them.. why? Their downfall is not your glory! Let it go, forgive them, and you just keep living!

Anything you put your mind to you can do! Cast out fear and doubt and just go for it. What is stopping you? Most times its doubt! Get rid of doubt! Believe in yourself! If you have the thought you have the ability! We are designed so incredibly; we can do more than we actually think! That's our problem sometimes we "think" ourselves right out of our greatness! Transform your mind! That takes time so be patient with yourself! Start believing in you TODAY!

Life is a Journey!

Good morning!.. there comes a point in our lives when we look at ourselves and decide to make some improvements! I want to reassure you: "Working on yourself is not selfish"!..and their is no specific time or time frame when God has put it in your heart, mind and soul that it is time for a change! Time to be made over!! Anyone who isn't on board with this, well maybe their time in your life has expired! When God is PUSHING you forward don't allow the enemy to pull you back! Maybe you've realize that you haven't been loving yourself properly, maybe you've been given all your time, attention and efforts towards someone else, and have neglected yourself! Or maybe you are just ready for a change! Whatever your reason is GO FOR IT, not tomorrow but today! I pray whatever God has placed on your heart that you pursue it, and also that he places you at the right place at the right time with the right people! .....you guys!!! We've made it through wee...

Society WHO?

Society WHO? “You are the one who justify yourselves in the eyes of others, but God knows your hearts. What people value highly is detestable in God’s sight.” –Luke 16:15 NIV What society sees and calls monumental, God sees through as calls monstrous. –Luke 16:15 MSG We tend to care too much on how others view us, what’s popular, what other people are doing, the latest trends, and these so called social media “GOALS” ! Worldly gratifications verses Gods satisfaction in us. We don’t care about pleasing God, we care about pleasing ourselves. We care about fitting in, and looking/acting the part. What the “world” says is it or as some of you say is LIT! Sex, Drugs, Lies, Cursing, Cheats, Thieves, Adultery…etc. Why not, everyone is doing it! It’s thrilling, it feels good, and because I want to. We can say whatever we want, but God knows our hearts! God doesn’t necessarily tell us not to do these things, because he wants to take away self-pleasure from us; he tells us t...
