Mess to Message! When I looked with my eyes, I saw the mountains, I saw impossibilities, I saw what I didnt have, and where I wasnt. I saw my failures, shortcomings, and weaknesses yet I still tried to figure it out with human logic. And I thought that I had a pretty decent plan to make things happen for me and so I executed it but then this came about that I didnt foresee and so I had to come up with a quick plan to fix that but then that came about because of This so then I had to come up with a plan to fix That ...and then another This and another That until I was drowning in my mess and powerless to get out of it. And I sat in my mess looking at the vastness of it all and thinking how impossible it would ever be for me to ever even stand again much less walk out of this..... But then God.... Spoke in the still and quiet of the morning, as anger coursed through my veins and bitterness and un-forgiveness imprisoned my heart and my mind was devising plans of retaliation...God spoke and He said that He would get me out of this...and then as I mentally voiced my doubts, He showed me how He had been there every time I had ever made a mess of things and gotten me out. I saw it and I heard but I was too angry to receive it as food. Three years later, I would have sunk even deeper and finally when He spoke that I needed Spiritual Strengthening...I listened! And I began a journey that will never end until my days are done! And now I see with His eyes and though there are mountains, I see peaks (high places), and I see possibilities because Im not working in my strength but His, and though things may have not manifested in the natural yet, I know that I have all that I need for the season Im in because He owns all the cattle on the hills and I have come to realize that where I am (physical address) is because Im on assignment and when Im done He will open doors for me elsewhere! And though I fail daily, still have shortcomings and weaknesses I am fearfully and wonderfully made in His image so I am the way I am for a reason, I look like who I am suppose to look and I have a purpose! So today I can say that Im happier with everything stripped from me than I ever was with material possessions! Because I have what matters in my life, God, and I know that everything else will be added in due time. If you dont Know Him like that...I mean REALLY KNOW HIM...not KNOW OF HIM...I encourage you to seek Him...because without Him you can have all the world offers but you still dont have anything at all. Be Blessed!
