Choose Me

“Above all things, I hope to always choose me, I must be committed to remaining true to the person God has called me to be. We often sacrifice the beauty of who we are for the ugly insecurities of those who wish to stifle our potential. I cannot choose to live a life where everyone around me benefits from who I am but me. I want to be the first recipient of the blessing that is my life and allow that love to overflow to those who encounter the sweet aroma of my God given confidence. Simply put, there are times when I must break free and choose me.”-Sarah Henson

My life Anthem

Song: I then shall live by Gaither Vocal Band

I then shall live.
As one whose been forgiven.
I'll walk with joy to know my debts are paid.
I know my name is clear before my father.
I am his child and I am not afraid.
So greatly pardoned I'll forgive my brother
The Law of love I gladly will obey

I then shall live
as one whose learned compassion.
I’ve been so loved
That I’ll risk loving too.
I know how fear builds walls instead of bridges
I’ll dare to see another’s point of view
And when relationships demand commitment
Then I’ll be there to care and follow through.

Your kingdom come around and through and in me
your power and glory,let them shine through me
Your hallowed name,oh may i bear with honor
And may your living kingdom come in me
THE BREAD OF LIFE! oh May I share with honor
And may you feed a hungry world through me

AMEN

Choice with a Twist!

God gave us this free gift call “choice” in all aspects of our lives except in choosing our race, gender, and family. None of it seems fair especially if you’re a poor black person in America. Of course, you wish you were born to President Obama or born to some rich Hollywood movie star or something. It’s not fair, why do some people have it made like Prince Harry and William?

Why didn’t God allow us to pick our race, gender, and family? I don’t have that answer.. Nobody does.
He allowed you to have the race, gender, and family  for his purpose and glory. He placed you in the right family, and gave you the right race and gender. Despite the fact, it is not exactly the kind you wanted. God chose this part of our lives because he knows everything. He knows the right family, race, gender that will best prepare you for his purpose for your life.

If you hate your race, gender and family; you’re technically saying that God’s choice for you was not the best. For those that truly know God, you know that God chooses the best for us. If you were given the choice to chose for yourself, I seriously doubt that your choice would have been better. No man’s wisdom can ever measure up to God’s. Our wisdom minutely shows us a glimpse of God’s wisdom. God is always right and his choice is always the best; even though, we don’t understand.

Complaining only undermines God’s decision to make you this way. Complaining wouldn’t change anything. Instead, thank God that he made you the way you’re cos he knew that he needed you to be this way to fulfill your purpose for your life. Remember in Genesis, God re-assessed everything he created and he said “it was Good.” Apply that to your life now, he looked back after he created you and said the same thing. God’s choice and decision is always perfect, and we know he is not the author of confusion.

God knew you would mess up making this decision, so he chose by himself. If you think you’d have made a better decision than God, think again. Embrace this inevitable facts about you. Some people can change their gender this days through surgery. U can go through surgery or you can just accept the fact that you can never be smarter than God. Accept yourself, God made you!!!

Missing Piece..

God gave Adam his missing rid by giving him Eve. Subconsciously, we are still looking for that missing some(thing, one) attribute currently absent in our lives. Anything, anyone lacks, they search for it externally. If a girl doesn’t feel pretty(internally), she searches for attention and affirmation from guys to feel beautiful(externally). Somehow, we believe that finding external gratification will appease the emptiness on the inside. A guy feels hurt, rejected, torn and all sort of negative emotions(internally), he doesn’t know how to handle all those emotions at once, as a result, he drinks excessively to get to a state of euphoria, where forgets all his trouble, or he smokes all kinds of drugs to reach that elated state when all his troubles seems to disappear(externally). What about the guy that has been hurt so many times that he has closed his heart to love(internally), but seeks to get revenge for his emotional turmoil by breaking lots of girls hearts(externally). Let’s not forget the girl that feels worthless that she feels that she can buy his love, by giving up her value. Casting blaming on others for the current state of our lives is an external fix from an internal lack of responsibility.

Look into yourself are you using external factors to fix internal matters that only requires internal self-fix.  We leave in a microwave society,     Image where we sabotage our internal symptoms to use external things to try to fix internal matters. Don’t get me wrong, times will come where we need external therapies to help us internally. If you have a low self-esteem, getting attention from guys is only a temporary quick fix that wouldn’t completely eradicate this problem. Plus, different guys have their own preferences, no matter how fine you’re..Not every guy is going to physically attracted to you. You need to add more substance to your value. External therapies for self-esteem are definitely temporary. Until you esteemed yourself, no-one will esteem you. We project ourselves to others; afterwards, they echo back what we are saying to ourselves.  Build yourself from unconditional internal factors that no matter what ppl say, it wouldn’t change how you view yourself. First of all: You’re made in the image of Almighty God. Yes! You were creatively created. Of course, you’re fearfully and wonderfully made…There’s no better you than you. God created the best you! God has invested his incomprehensible knowledge in making you. Never question the way you look. God knew what he was doing when he created you. You’re not Ugly.. Stop saying or meditating on that.. Your man will love you just the way you’re. If you have to change for anyone then, they’re probably not for you. God’s love is unconditional. His sacrifice for us is the best example of true love. I tell others, if you don’t like me.. Pray for me, cos I wouldn’t change for you to like me..sry! There’s nothing selfish about true love. You don’t believe me, check out 1 Cor 13. (That’s another blog..watch out). Find your self worth from God’s unconditional love for you. Regardless, who rejects you, God will always accept and Love you no matter what. Build yourself in the fact that God LOVES YOU..

If you’re smoking your life away or drowning yourself in alcohol; look internally what is really going on? Until you’re honest with yourself, you will continue killing yourself in self-pity. Life is so fragile, we are not promised tomorrow. You want peace, find it within you. Yes, within you. In God! We were created by God. His hand prints is all over you, so reach out to God and you will find the peace you need within. No-one can give peace like God can.

More examples: if you don’t accept yourself, you will search for acceptance from other ppl. If You don’t love yourself, you search for love from others. You get the gist.

We all have that missing piece in our lives and we are searching for it, subconsciously or consciously, but nothing can fill that gap except God. In God, we find true satisfaction not derived from money, career, family, friends, traveling, name it..etc.

God created us so we you could find him. He is our missing piece!!
