Do you think becoming a lawyer or doctor is hard? Do you think obtaining a PHD is intense? Does the debit you owe seem like it’s so impossible to pay it off? Well hands down I guarantee building and having an intimate relationship with God is harder than any of that, and it’s free. There’s no debit to pay because Jesus paid it all! I say it’s harder because it’s a lifetime journey, the “degree” isn’t obtained in a 4-10 year program. Don’t we wish it was that simple?
To be in a gang they have to go through the initiation process to become a part of the crew, and that shows how tough they are. To them I say if you want to see or prove how strong you are, join this Christian walk! This ride is not for the weak at heart, being a Christian is harder than what some may think. It’s more than going to church and saying a few Amen’s here and there. Its more than saying “I’m praying for you” We have to believe in the power of prayer. We have to have faith and believe that anything is possible so God can have room to do the impossible.
Daily life is intense especially when you have asked God to enlarge your territory, and asked him to order your steps and have his way. When he starts to move you may begin to battle with your flesh even more. You may begin to question things more than ever, you may even begin to doubt yourself but all of the thoughts and emotions are a part of the journey towards your blessings. Those feelings and thoughts that are happening teaches you to trust God whole heartedly beyond a shadow of a doubt. For those of us that tend to stress we could lighten the load if we simply Trust God. Trust that he will never leave you or forsake you. Just because things didn’t go the way you planned doesn’t mean that God wasn’t right there in the midst of it all. Why is it hard for some to trust God? I hope it’s not because you think you are in control of your own life. If so let us pause so we can have a come to Jesus moment….
In my circle when something doesn’t go the way we really want it to go, we sing three words “GOD BLOCKED IT.” We are normally laughing as we sing those three words or laughing while we are typing those three words to each other. Were laughing because we know we had no business doing whatever it was we were thinking about or planning on doing. Some of us even have the nerve to try and debate why we thought it was a good idea (guilty). I think it’s funny and also serious at the same time because it allows us to realize God can shut your operation down quickly! Also allows us to reflect on ourselves and how we were getting off track. It’s a blessing to have friends and family that support your journey, and also have their own journey. Do you surround yourself with souls who will hold you accountable for your actions that you know better about? Do you surround yourself with souls that can help you battle your flesh? Being in the ring daily with your flesh is exhausting. Our flesh will make you delusional (laughing) I am laughing because I have been a victim. I thank ya Lord for deliverance (SMILE).
Having a relationship with God requires the same as a worldly relationship and even more. It requires quality time, intimacy, sacrifice, dedication, giving, trust, and communication just to name a few. A lot of relationships don’t work because of lack of communication. Don’t let your relationship with God suffer because of lack of communication which is PRAYER!
When YOUR plan doesn’t work remember to sing those three words “GOD BLOCKED IT”and then pray and smile.
Be BLESSED
