God specializes in goodness: Oh that men would give thanks to the Lord for His goodness, and for His wonderful works to the children of men! For He satisfies the longing soul. And fills the hungry soul with goodness. There is always good things on the horizon with you Lord for us and for us to convey to others. Lovin' it moment!

When we pray, we get results--this has been pounded into me. God the more I think about it--You always affirm that the answer is on the way or prayers have made a difference in the lives of others that is interceded on the behalf of. Even for petitions for the unsaved. That's is your love, right there.
Now, it is time to be revolutionary in the positive sense to bring back life to ruined cities and desolate places by spreading your Light, Life and Love. I thank you Lord for a personal spiritual awakening and also, to be a participant in this generation. Don't want to lose sight of what is important. Help me not to bypass obvious opportunities by losing my focus or intensity in a positive light.........:heart2:

Thank you lord for peace of mind.
Please grant me with confidence in the areas that I lack! I no longer want to struggle with those issues.

Nourishment For Soul (God's Love & Meditation on It)--Listen to Me, O house of Jacob, And all the remnant of the house of Israel, who have been upheld by Me from birth, who have been arried from the womb; even to your old age, I am He, and even to gray hairs I will carry you! I have made, and I will bear; even I will carry, and will deliver you.
-Isaiah 46:3-4
God never stops loving---Love always.

God I love how you make us go through ugly stuff as a children which leaves us damaged goods as adults..I want to walk away from this walk not because its hard but because it makes no sense..why so much dang pain I mean I know you God went through pain unspeakable on the cross but why keep your ppl suffering...I see so much mental despair and so much out of wed lock kids and just good ppl being looked over bc they arent what society deems as valuable..I know God doesn't make junk but why does society receive me as worthless and of no value bc Im dark skinned,large and too thoughtful.

I've finally come to terms with the ultimate reality. This is NOT it. This world is NOT it. My social status, my economic status, my facebook status... NOT it. Let us NOT dwell in the evil forthcomings of the earth, and, instead, rest upon the exceedingly immeasurable promise that The Prince of Peace has given us.
"The King is coming! The King is coming! Make way, for the King is coming!"
I can't wait to go home.

I love that God has a sense of humour.... I so love Him for that. 
DAGON
An example of God's humor is the instance in which the Israelites were using the Ark of the Covenant like a good-luck charm in taking it to battle, and the Philistines ended up capturing it and placing it in their temple before their idol of Dagon. They came into the temple the next day and found Dagon flat on his face before the ark. They set him back up. The next morning, there he was again, but this time he had his hands and head cut off as a symbol of his powerlessness before the God of the ark (1 Samuel 5:1-5). God’s putting Dagon in a position of submission to His ark is a comical picture.

God's immense love for us is amazing and His great delight in us compelled him to send His Son for whole world. God's love is always fighting for u: Many waters cannot quench love, nor can rivers drown it. If a man tried to buy love with all his wealth, his offer would be utterly scorned. God Never Stops Loving. Knowing His Love Makes The Difference In Life!

I was going to make a thread about this but is anyone struggling with haircare being, I guess, a false god or a serious distraction from God in their lives? I recently went natural with a TWA and of course it's totally new to me as I do it all on my own. Without stylists it's all hands on deck and more mentally/physically consuming than before. On my own, I don't mind the process at all and love my hair but The Holy Spirit has been speaking to me about it and I'm realizing it's something I just cannot handle. It's not inherently sinful but the attention and focus I put on my hair takes away my attention from The Lord in a considerable way. It's been bothering me so badly and I've been fighting to not let go *red flag* but now that I'm seeing what it is truly doing to my walk with The Lord, I'm giving it over to Him completely.
I'm thinking of cutting all my hair off for now because I can't even handle not looking at it in the mirror and figuring out how to fix or figure out something. I think about it so much sometimes and spend hours researching natural hair care when I could be spending time with God.
I would put it in braids but it's too short and I even tried a KISS approach numerous times but it always snowballs into something more complicated almost immediately. In the long term, I have no clue what I will do but I know right now is not the time. I know I desire to stay natural but whatever The Holy Spirit guides me to do, it will be of utmost perfection for my life. I'm so glad nothing is off limits because our God is infinite in wisdom!
Anyway, I'm not trying to put this out there to say that everyone who puts effort and time into taking care of their hair is sacrificing their relationship with God or anything. Anything can be a false god or as a preacher put it a suitcase weighing us down in this race and sadly, mine right now is my hair.

I could do all things through Christ who strengthened me today...including changing the wax ring on the toilet without barfing, dropping in the pliers, screwdriver, bolts and not flooding the bathroom. Thank G-d! It's fixed. It's the little things that are often the biggest things.

My neighbors are fighting a lot and he overreacts...she nags like crazy...they have 2 kids and he's always speeding off up the hill now. They don't shovel the snow like they used to...and she kinda disappeared for a few days...so it seems.
I hope they make it. I pray the spark of love returns for them cuz he's a good guy, truly. Praying for them...y'all do the same, too.

I just dont understand as much as I want to abstain from certain behaviors I just seem to fall back in.Then Im reading about the whole sex thing and its like were human and etc we should fill our needs and it makes me feel like dang are we animals or ppl..I thought we were a step above such things that we can fight our urges..Im so perplexed about way too much Christianity is for the birds.

PJ-ism is being out of control. I have to cut my losses and throw away some things so I can actually see what it is I have...and be diligent with it. It worked in the past, it'll work now. I have to be thankful that I was able to purchase those because they are a blessing, but I need to narrow that down and stop wasting money. It's a better way to live.

I dont know if this is the right spot to put this but here it goes.In this life I feel so perplexed with my perceptions of things.I often look at myself in the mirror and think man Im pretty and thats at my hefty size.However in society your not allowed to think your something or to expect goodness until your on point in every way.
I often speak so negatively about myself and life bc I feel its more acceptable to speak this way than being confident in myself bc if you do your seen as something weird like how you going to like yourself your fat,dark,live at home,make 16 an hr didnt go to a awesome college etc.
I know what the bible says typically thats not the issue but its hard to accept this when your so often shown your not lovely even when I love seeing what I see I love my edgy self and my ability to be deeper than most.I guess I finally am coming to grips of accepting me instead of worrying about society.

Embrace being beautiful, loved and human. Urges mean 'life' is in you. Life from God above. If you felt them, not... you'd be void of life. A vast empty shell, no warmth, no blood flowing in your veins, no purpose.
A vessel of life you are... embrace the beauty of 'feeling'. It quickens, brings to life your spirit within. Embrace the power who lives within you for this power is Jesus, the Greater One who lives on the inside of you.
You are the 'Goddess' of your feelings, and God is the God of them. You and He are in total control. Embrace being one in Him for in this you will have the peace, the tranquility, the fulfillment of all feelings destined your way.
Don't let your 'urges' throw you around nor over the edge. Throw them over instead. You have the power... You have Jesus, not Christianity. There is a difference.
Nice Lady, thank you for being such a constant poster in this thread. I'm not in the forum as much, yet your posts have been coming into my home email.
Your messages have come forth into a reality, a Word in Season, fitly spoken in my life. Again... I thank you.
