Reclaiming Self

If I chose to speak would you really listen? Actively listen. Clearing your mind, giving me your full attention, without any interruptions and willing to give feedback if needed. Will you?  If I stood before you silent with tears rolling down my cheeks would you give a comforting hug? Without reservations could you wrap your arms around me and hold me without asking questions? Will you?

Simple questions yet hard for some to answer. Many have given their hearts only to have them trampled upon. They've also given their souls. So, many men and women have given so much to others and lost so much of  themselves. Today reclaim your heart, soul, and body giving it back to yourself  but most of all to your creator. For it belongs to HIM!

Brokenness

Brokenness

(Born, Broken, Rebuilt)

Be not ashamed or weary of the feeling of the brokenness you maybe enduring. 

Many see brokenness as suffering but it is not. 

Your brokenness gives God the open avenues to do a work in you so that you will submit your life to Him in every way.

No, you are not being punished because of something you may have done.

Yes, your brokenness is preparing you for your future.

Sometimes you have to be broken in order for what is on the inside of you to manifest outwardly. 

Remain humble, and by faith go through the process.

“For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast. For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.”  -Eph. 2:8-10

I, myself have been broken and I have tried things my way only to fail many times.

So, this is what I’m doing and I encourage you to join me and, “Cast your burdens on the Lord, and He shall sustain you; He shall never permit the righteous to be moved.”  - Psalm 55:22

There are many things that may keep you from surrendering to God during your brokenness.

It could be the things of this world you hold dear, relationships, ignorance; just not knowing, fear, and most of all pride.

When you finally decide to surrender your will to God watch the manifestation of the promises in His word take place and the miraculous change in YOU!

Then you will ask yourself “Why did I wait so long?”  God is breaking you only to build you into a stronger individual.

You should use your time of brokenness to minister to someone that needs to hear your story.
So, continue to endure and be blessed.
