A friend of mine said to me...


A friend of mine--Deborah Roscoe, said to me, "One of the problems people have is that they look to the people they sow into for their harvest. The Bible says we reap what we sow, not necessarily from who we sow into. We are to look to GOD for our harvest. As well when we look to people for our harvest, we limit our harvest because people can only give what they have, and or want to give."

The Bible says, "We are transformed by a renewing of our minds." Let us be transformed by our mental renewing and subsequent conduct change. Let us stop looking to others to do for us what GOD will, and or desires to do and as well limiting the blessings HE desires to give us .

Seek GOD Always and be blessed

A poem about FAITH


Faith
A poem about
Faith
Hope for better, hope for deliverance, hope that God approves and that the struggle and struggles are HIS will, and thus have purpose if nothing but to refine and strengthen me
At times the acknowledgement that if I don’t persevere and endure, the sin I commit may be the last thing I do and the scale be tipped in the sad favor of eternity in hell
Faith
HE has on many occasions shown me, spoke to my Spirit, mind and heart and used others to confirm and affirm HIS will when I was in doubt… as well tell me HIS will for correction I needed to take
Faith
HE does not as well promise it will always be roses…it was not for JESUS—GOD in the flesh—nor was it for Paul, nor for any Disciple/Apostle and thus no it is not HIS fault when things are bad and or are not to my liking..it may be HIS “passive will” that HE allows these things to occur, but this too is for a reason and that is to draw me closer to HIM
Faith
Hope for a better tomorrow and at times a fear of hell, and as well the acknowledgement that the Bible, the inerrant word of GOD Himself, states @ Hebrews 11 that “…faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things unseen…”
I interpret this as we don’t always have the answers, 
but GOD does
We don’t always know the way, 
but GOD does
We don’t always possess the strength and or knowledge, 
but GOD can and will empower us
So as challenging as it may be at times, we must accept that it deduces to our faith must stay in HIM for HE truly “…is the way, the truth, and the life.” (John 14:6)
