If you need a mid-week pick-me-up or this just came up on your timeline, JUST STOP and listen to what God has to say. It may be what you’ve been praying about.

SoulFood: Does the Hurt Go Away?

Have you ever been in "that place" of hurt and wondered how you were ever going to make it passed that point? When your mind can't even conceive anything other than how you feel. When you look to God in agony and ask why. That's the million dollar question that everyone has asked at one time in their life, even if you didn't vocalize. God knows what we think.

I remember growing up and deciding that I would never let anyone hurt me again. That day I made a choice to close my heart and protect myself from the world. Wow, it was great! No more pain. For years, I walked around not caring about anything. My heart was turning into stone and I didn't even know it. I was always the kind of person that had a different answer than the popular crowd which caused me alot of conflict in life and much hurt as a result. But now I thought I was free. People said bad things or did bad things to me and I didn't even flinch, no worries because I didn't care. God still loved me with my hardened heart and He still spoke to me about my future even though He knew I was messed up inside.

There came a season when God required more of me and I knew I had to let go of the shell that had protected me for so many years. I told God that I would let go as I cried my eyes out while driving. It felt like I was ripping my heart out because I was giving up my control and I truly thought to myself that my way was better than God's way because I didn't cry at night anymore. Years later, I have taken the shell back quite a few times because being vulnerable is not fun and God wasn't understanding how I was feeling, so I went back to the only thing I knew. The Lord showed me that not only was I keeping people out of my life, but I wasn't living life either. I was so stale and hard and black & white about everything and I would never be able to experience abundant life that way.

I knew God was tugging at me again to get me to release the past. He said, don't let your past determine your future. He shared with me that I had to love with no expectation of receiving anything from the people I love. WHAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That philosophy is not cool at all. What is love about then? I couldn't believe that my philosophy of love didn't match God's and I felt like I have given God so much, surely He doesn't require anything else of me, yet He required my heart fully.

He said I didn't have a right to build a case against people that have hurt me even if it was justified because He had a case against me and He forgave me, so I had to forgive AGAIN. There was still some resentment in me that was eating at my character. I just didn't understand. I'm always the one having to change, it's not fair. I love God so much that I had to trust Him even when it made no sense to me.
I asked God why does He allow these things to happen when I am trusting in Him to protect me. I have pulled my heart towards him so many times and it seemed as if it didn't matter because God allowed me to be sideswiped again. Then the spirit of God reveals himself in a way that cannot be explained, but He allowed me to see the end (the promise), he allowed me to see the strength I have gained, the greater love for Him that I have, the greater sensitivity I have for my family and for my friends, the need for others that may be experiencing the same things that I have gone through. He told me it would be a testimony for many. Now that sounds all good, but my first thought was........Huh? I'm hurting and you are telling me about a testimony one day.

He speaks to those that want to hear Him. It makes no logical sense, but God will heal and He will restore that which the kankerworm has stolen. That is a promise!

If you remember nothing else, trust this. If you really want to be free from hurt, tell God the truth about how you feel. I've learned to just talk to God....no scriptures......just me and as I pour out my heart to Him and release the venom inside, the scriptures begin to pour of out me because God is present to allow me to see the truth instead of my feelings.

That is why I said before, feelings don't matter when it comes to your deliverance. Base your love and expectation on God alone and He will restore your relationships with people, but you can't do it yourself. People will never act the way you want them to. Pull your heart towards God and know He hears you even when you're not talking and He wants you to share with him your innermost thoughts.......even if they are about Him because sometimes we are disappointed in God for things not understood. Reach out to Him and see Him as a father. Hold on, even when you don't feel like it because you know He will come through for you and when He does, oh man, abundant living goes to another level!!!!!!!!!

I’m at a time in my life where I’m proud of me. Not saying it to encourage myself, but feeling what I’ve been saying all along ❤️

Relationship Goals: What’s your criteria for a partner? Mine is simple. What that willing heart do?? God said if you be willing and obedient you can eat the good of the land. A willing heart is pliable and God can mold and work with a person that adapts. Can you imagine what you can experience with a person that is “willing” to……. You finish the sentence.

Relationship goals: Modify your prayer and ask God (in addition to your other requests) to give you someone with a willing heart. It’s a game changer. Trust me. 💪🏽

FAILURE IS REQUIRED by S’King ✍🏽

It’s DAY 2 of BLACK HISTORY MONTH. We celebrate Nelson Mandela with an inspirational quote that goes a lil something like this “The greatest glory in living lies not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall.”

I think of the song by Donnie McClurkin that says, “We fall down but we get up”. I never really liked that song. It was hard for me to fathom why falling was part of MY equation with God.

I ignored the wisdom and suffered throughout my years because of it.

Now in my ripe age of 50 😂, I realize that in failure there are stages of grief but in that lies a “REACHING FROM WITHIN” that allows you to pull from an entity outside of yourself and in those moments you shall see a birthing of “insight”, “humility”, “understanding”, “strength” and “worth”.

TRIVIA QUESTION: Answer in the comments, how many times did Thomas Edison fail before he created the light bulb? (Don’t Google)!

My point and moral to this story. Embrace change, dimming lights, unsolved mysteries in this life, but be encouraged that the morning shall come, the sun will rise, and God can and will turn it around.

Thank you Mr. Mandela for exhibiting such a grace and example for us to not fall and stay down. With God all things are possible.
