It was a beautiful day. I attended service, hung out with a great friend after service.. The day seemed like it would never end.
I hung out with some friends at a fishing pond. As you know, at times, when there are new encounters with individuals. There may be two things that can occur, a inviting greeting for conversation or a skeptical hello of, hmm let me check her/him out first.. How do we get past this?
Does this signify that our uniqueness renders us of being totally incapable if reaching what is beyond our expectations.
What is expected of us?
Romans 8:28 says, And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.
My spirit was not troubled, however there was something that did not sit well, with an encounter I had with someone that was new to me. I instantly checked "me" out and said to myself, "girl what's up" Sometimes, when we think we have issues with others, it's not them. It's us. However you need to be mature enough to identify this. It doesn't mean you are weak, and it doesn't mean that you are acknowledging out loud that you have issues. God knows we all have been delivered from some places and we know that only the father could have taken us from here to there.
Are we there yet?
Somehow I managed to whip my fishing line so far that it got caught on my bestfriend's sister's chair. The individual in which I had encountered came over to me, timid yet, the spirit of the willing was present. She said, " sister let me help you." I was amazed, because I said to myself, " father help me with this doubt in my mind" Can you please fix it? You could still tell that our spirits were not at a place of total relaxation. So, I remembered that God is not going to put anything in my path, that he will not allow me to learn from.. Fear.
Part of growing as a christian is to be able to adjust to the moments, that don't quite feel good. Character building skills. Yes sir!
I begin to quote this scripture while we untangle the fish line from the chair, I said, my sister, the bible says, " "For where two or three have gathered" and I said, finish it sister, and she replied, "together in My name, I am there in their midst" (Matthew 18:20)
At that moment, that feeling of uncertainty, that feeling of doubt. Ceased. In Jesus name we touched and agreed..Thus creating an environment of peace.
We can get there, if we all try.
It was at that point where God revealed to me again, that the power is in the word.
If we carry the spirit of fear and defeat in our minds. It will only hold us captive of progressing in the direction in which God wants us to go.
Be mindful of your actions, they begin with thoughts..
