THIS IS MY FAVORITE PART

THIS IS MY FAVORITE PART


This is my favorite part:

1. When you pray about changing things for years and years.

2. Asking The Almighty to expose your faults and fill you with the Spirit to overcome.

3. Years of praying about each and every response before posting.

4. Exposing my sins again and again as an example that we can stop pretending.

5. ALWAYS praying for our leaders - good and bad - knowing that the command comes with a promise.

6. Giving to the poor especially when you have little because they have far less.

7. Never blocking or unfriending because my strength is renewed EVERY MORNING.

8. Praying for my people, whether they like me or not.

(Side note: I know of a guy who prayed for his group [when it was about this size] by name EVERY DAY! I’m no superhero like that, but will pray for you when you post your challenges.)

9. This kind can ONLY come out by prayer (and fasting).

10. ALWAYS keep praying and NEVER give up.

11. Praying for The Almighty to continually expose my misogynoir and homophobic conditioning.

12. Be willing to lose dear friends by calling out their faults for the sake of the gospel, because as much as I love them, they are but ash on my tongue by comparison.

13. Giving up careers and opportunities for the sake of integrity is a no-brainer because I’m promised a far more lasting reward.

14. Reveling with gratitude in my clarity of thought.

15. Because of my commitment to The Almighty, God has trained and surrounded me with the very best people on the planet 🌍
That would be YOU!

So the part that I love is after the years and years of planting and cultivating; right before the seeds sprout and all can see. When it’s just me and my God communing.

When I KNOW deep down (before the proof erupts) that in spite of ANY history, from the moment I was tasked to combat the systemic evils, their doom was imminent - like the revelation that is to come.

But all that I’ve just said is a given to me. What I often think about is that if you’ve made it to my friends list, you must be VERY special. Stop wallowing in mediocrity and show me just how amazing you are!

Stop waiting for the seeds to sprout and the blessings to flow and the evil to give way; just KNOW that in the near future, it has ALREADY done so and revel in the majesty of it all!

Be well.
