It's a beautiful day to give God thanks and praise.You are alive and that's what matters the most.Many didn't get to see this new day.Here you are and despite the many problems that engulf us daily we do have a lot to be thankful for.
Life is not a bed of roses and daily we are faced with so much that if you are not strong enough you will give up.Many share words of encouragement and try to comfort us but he who feels it knows it and sometimes words are not enough,cause only you and you alone know your stuggle and no one can't understand.
Many search for answers and many will tell us that Jesus is the answer,while this is 100% true and even when we have accepted Christ as our Lord and Savior,things does not always change but rather the battle begins and the will to fight gets harder.We do have the comfort of knowing that we are never alone and at some point God will make a way out.BUT how does a man live and fight when the ground under you crumbles and the wall around you closes? How does one keep his head high when the bones in the neck are broken? How does one go on when you are sinking in quick sand? Shouldn't life be fair? Will this struggle you in ever come to an end? When,oh when will you ever get that blessing or finally be free? These are the many questions we are faced with daily and no matter what some people may tell us,you alone know what you go through daily.
Experiences have taught me that life has two faces and we do have choices in life.To fear there is faith.To sadness there is joy and the list goes on..one needs to understand that as long as you are here on earth you will go through the daily motions of life.The only way you will survive is with the help of God and by the choices we make.You can choose to be happy even if there is sadness around you.The same way that you can accept sadness and pain you can accept joy and healing.The same way you invest so much of your time in rehearsing the past,that time can be used to become a better person and bring joy,peace and happiness into your life.
Many persons believe that owning a piece of the world brings happiness but not necessarily,cause many do owned a piece of the world and they are miserable and can't even enjoy it.The key is how you see things and choosing to be happy no matter what.I can have $1 and still be happy,cause happiness to some extend is not about what but having this deep peace and feeling within me.Knowing that all is well.There are lots to life that you and I will never understand so what do we do? Do you sit back and make yourself miserable or do you get up and live.
Let me share something with you.I'm a cancer survivor.Two weeks ago I went to see my doctor and I was expecting some really good results but instead I was told by my doctor that my blood was clotting and hence the reason for so much abdominal pain.Here I had a choice.I could either go home,cry and be miserable or I could go home and do everything possible to get better.I looked at the doctor and smiled and walked out a happy man.You know why? Cause right there in the doctor's office I made up my mind that I was going to walk out that door and live.I took my meds but also with the advice of my doctor got a good cleansing,purging and took care of myself.You know what happened? For the past two weeks I've never felt so healthy,good and in shape.I eat well and sleeps like a baby.I'm even feeling like my old crazy self,all because I made a decision to choose to get well.
Maybe you've been in a relationship and you've invested so much into making it work but things just not working out and it's over.You have a choice,you can decide to make yourself miserable or you can get up,take a bath,wash out the old,shake it off bring in the new and move on.There is always life after every break up and fear keeps many to hold up to false hope and empty promises.Many will tell me but Forns you eh know? You don't know how much I love him or her? I can't live without him or her? Well if you want to keep yourself behind and feel sorry then it's your choice but I know there is life after every break up and every failed relationship.
My point is that we have choices in life.I can choose to let my problems drive me to insanity or I can take a hold of myself and remain happy and sane.I will say again,we have choices and many of us are where we are today because we refuse to let go of the past,we refuse to let go of some people who hold us back,we refuse to let go of hatred,unforgivesness and fear.Maybe because we enjoy carrying the extra weight or maybe we just like being miserable.I eh know but for me I always choose peace of mind,my sanity,my health,my joy and my happiness.
Lately many of my friends have asked me to pray with and for them and I enjoy praying for others but in my prayer sessions,the Lord would reveal to me that many people are miserable and sick because of someone in their lives.Someome does not love them the way they want to be loved.Someone uses or hurt them.They don't get the kind of attention they seek and so this person has full control over their lives and their joy and happiness depend on that person.You wonder why so many people around us are so sick and losing their minds.
You got to realised that your joy and happiness should never depend on someone else.You got to realised that as long as you have this person in control you will be happy one time,them miserable,cause they enjoy playing and controlling your feelings.If one would love God and themselves as much as they love those controlling freaks,one would have fully experience the best love ever and loving God and the whole you is truly a priceless experience.
All I'm saying is you can decide to let life beat you up and continue to struggle or you can beat the hell out of life by being in control,by trusting God,by making the right choices.You decide which you'll choose.As you go through the week do a self examination and maybe a checklist,it always works for me.See where you invest most of your time and energy.Is it in the wrong people,or the wrong things? Are you giving into the negativity around you? Is someone in control of your every movement and your joy? Are you holding any grudge or unforgiveness? Are you holding on to the past?
The choices you make will determine how you feel the next second and the rest of your life.Never underestimate the power that God has place inside of you.Go deep down into that source and from today be determined to live a happy and free life.
May God continue to bless each and everyone of you.Stay blessed.Remain in the presence of God and never forget to give God thanks and praise in all things.Love all of you with the pure love of Christ.
