i call this one HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME Big ups to all who shouted me out on my Bday. Its pretty awesome how a few words can lift ones spirit and few words can connect people to just feel good. Also Im so blessed to have church, all these brothers and sisters who shower me with loving friendships and extend their grace and mercy. From my pastor giving me a call, to my amazing small group (TLC) surprising me with a cake, gifts, affirmation bombs, and mostly the happy wishes and smiles (beautiful) and lets not forget, prayers. Along with my college students that we call JCM (love them) and my other church friends, and of course my dear friends, Im truly blessed beyond what I can imagine or deserve. If you know my story, I been through some stuff in my life, people very near and dear have betrayed me, the system didnt protect me, the world was cruel and the really low moments, yea the dark times and the long desperate days and nights... But praise the Lord Hallelujah amen, Im here, alive, in the land of the living, out of the ashes, i arose not by my might, but risen with the King of glory. The persecution tribulation of the past (blessing In disguise) seems but a distant memories and the future looks great. I may not have the money that I once had (but money doesnt have me either #freedom) or world respect and social status (but I am a prince in His kingdom), nor the youth of 20s (but like Solomon, i take this wisdom that comes from experiences), but what I do have is Jesus and Im on blast with this (walking with Him just keeps on getting better and better and deeper and deeper, His love for me is endless and unfailing, proven over and over again). I wouldnt trade this for anything in this world. Christ is enough for me, Im free, Im freed indeed. I, deserve nothing, and is due nothing, and is nothing, worthless actually, if not for the grace of God. Its definitely not my good or anything that I did or do to deserve any of this, and also it wouldnt be fair to say Im now good, without fault, blemish, or even close to being the loving godly man of character and faith that I been destined to be. But what I am is Gods beloved, creation in His image, and a work in progress, a clay open to His sovereign hands to be molded into His authorship. I am refined gold through some fire, but not finished gold, i desire to shine for His glory. I am willing and able to go through more fires, because he makes me more than a conqueror and I can do all things through Jesus who loves me. #powerofmyGod #nonelikeit So yeah, happy birthday to me, why not?! Im so thankful for health, wealth, and wisdom that I have. Simply, i just say thank you Jesus. This shalom, this love, this grace, and mercy, this is good (so good). But Gods heart breaks for the ones who dont know Him in this way, as does mine (in a much smaller scale), so as much as I have been blessed, my mission/call is to bless others with the blessing He has bestowed on me. Praise be the God. #abundantlife
