Experience of Life

Life is something that alot of people have an opinion on, but few people really understand. You must recognize that God does not make mistakes. There are things in life you will not understand. There are things that if you could you would avoid. Don't underestimate the value of the experience. Don't allow what you are experiencing right now to dictate how you will respond to the process that you are going through right now.

Experiences have a way of getting the best of you unless you keep God first. You were never supposed to go through situations without God being apart of it. Frustration comes when you forget who is in control of your right now. If God is the author and finisher of your faith, then you have a responsibility to have an expectation about the story He is writing about you. When is the last time you got excited about what was going to happen? To the point where you praised God for the process and for where He was taking you. Give God praise for keeping you in the midst of your experiences. Dont let the devil steal, kill, and destroy what God is allowing to make you into who He wants you to be.

Please be encouraged.

Getting back to basics

You have to understand that life is more than just about accomplishments. Some people focus so much on how they compare to others instead of how they compare to their previous self. It is not hard to get back to basics, but it requires self examination and humility. A sign of maturity is when you acknowledge that you are not where you should be. God never leaves us nor forsakes us, but unless we acknowledge that we are not where we are how can we move into position?  Let God restore you today by confessing your shortcomings with the expectation that God will keep His Word and forgive you. I pray for your next step that you would take it with boldness and confidence because you are lined up with the will of God.
