Good 🌄 Beloved, I thank God for you. As you opened your beautiful eyes to hid new grace and tender mercies. On this wonderful Wendesday 🌄. I thank our God for our beautiful brokenness. I'm reminded of Jeremiah 18:2 when a young prophet Jeremiah, who was broken, rejected, and discouraged. The Lord, in a vision, told him to get up and go down to Potter's House. A place filled with both broken and flawed pieces. It reminds me of our lives. When we grow weary of our lives like Job. When our lives and the world seem to spinning out of control. When things are finally looking up and we're seemingly gaining our footing. The Lord speaks into our spirits to get up and go down to Potter's House. A place littered with so many broken prices. Out of the depths of our despair, we ask Lord why! I'm just getting myself back together again, just getting up, and you want me to go back "down" again. What the Lord is telling us is that we can't fix ourselves, if we could, our lives wouldn't seem like a merry go round and if we did, when the pressure and stressors of life return, the weak places will weaken and the crooked places will become more crooked. He's telling us that he wants to beautifully break us and put us back on his wheel. He wants to make the crooked places in our lives straight. Beloved when we're beautifully broken by the Lord. He knows that we all have undergone significant hardships, pain, and loss in our lives. But when he beautifully breaks us, we emerge from the experience with a newfound strength, resilience, and beauty. Yes, we may have cracks and flaws. When a patient has had a heart transplant or a kidney transplant, they have a scar to remind them of the newness of life. That we have a new lease on life, a new heart. A new life that serves as a testament to our journey and character, rather than a flaw. We may have a scar on our leg, but just as a surgeon breaks the deformed bones and straightens them out so we can walk. God breaks our will so that it conforms to his will. All those negative attitudes and destructive habits we used to have are discared along with so many other flawed pieces on the potters floor. As we awake this Wonderful Wednesday morning. When you're feeling discouraged and distraught. When you want to resist the command to go down to Potter's House. When you feel like we've been down too long. "Stay on the Wheel." You were fearfully and wonderfully made. On the wheel is where we're put back together again. To all of us as God's beautifully broken children, we're special and unique, a one of a kind original. On the wheel, there's love, peace, joy, and hope. Peace Be With You. Loveu4life. I see those scars, and they look so beautiful. Don't hide them like the world encourage us to do. Show them as a testament to God's redemptive, restorative, and beautiful work in our lives.🙏🏾❤️🌹🤎💪🏾🔥

Good morning precious Beloved. On this beautiful Resurrection Sunday morning. I thank my God for you. Thanking him how he's continued to bless you, sustain you and keep you. I send blessings to you and your famalies and loved ones. What to share this passage with you "And as they were afraid and bowed down their faces to the earth, they said unto them, Why seek ye the living among the dead? This beloved is a fundamental question we must yet ask ourselves as well as remind ourselves, when we find ourselves overcome with the noise pollution of this world. Noise like the levy of tarrifs, political upheaval, massive layoffs, nationwide protest. When we hear all this noise, we embrace thoughts of despair and hopelessness. Our minds began to drift, will I have enough money to survive, will my social security check come on time. Will my friends and loved ones be deported. Will my 401k be depleted by the fluctuations of the stock market. Beloved I stand today to tell us to turn down the noise. The noise I'm speaking of is an unwanted, unintentional, harmful sound that is unpleasant and disruptive to our mental health health. It will stress us out, cause mental health issues, cause a rise in our blood pressure and cause us to have many restless nights. It's time for us to turn down the noise. It's time to remind ourselves, that just as Elijah, the prophet of God, who became depressed and discouraged after his victory on the Mount against the prophets of baal. He found himself listening to the noise of Jazabel and fleed into the desert and asked the lord to take him home. But when he got to a place when he was all alone, he turned down the noise, he could listen to to "still small" voice of God. Beloved, after the difficulties we face in this life. We need to allow God to take us to a place, a place where we're alone, a place where we can listed without any noise. When we turn down the noise. We can hear the Lord speaking to us in a still small voice. Telling us he promised to never leave us nor forsake us. Telling us that greater is he that's in us than in the world. Telling us that no weapon formed aganist us shall not prosper. Telling us that instead of being the defeated, we are more that a conqueror. Telling us that in our weakness his strength is made perfect. Telling us he is our Jehovah Jireh. That when we had no job or 401K he still clothed us and feed us. Telling us to look af the bired of the fid, they have no jobs, yet he still feeds them. Telling us that we were worth dying for. The "still small voice." It's not about loud declarations or dramatic noises. But the still small voice that guides and encourages us that wne we cant see his hand teust in his plan for our lives. Plans to prosper us and not to harm us, plans to bring us to an expected end. It was a still small over 2000 years ago that asked the women in the empty tomb this profound eternal question. "Why do you seek the living amongst the dead." Christ is risen and because he has risen, we CAN face our tomorrow's and life IS worth living because he lives. Beloved, we must go and be about our father's business and turn down the disruptive noise which seeks to derail our walk with Christ. These things must come to pass. Don't allow the noise become you and define you. We must continue to love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.” Have a wonderful day. Peace Be Unto You. Loveu2life.
