Day 13-Weight-You
know I have said it once and I am going to say it again. Do not skip breakfast!!!
There was no real reason why I should have even missed breakfast because I had
it all packed up, but when I got to work instead of eating I began working. And
just plain forgot. But I was hungry the entire day and ate more than I needed
to. Shame on me!! So, back to the drawing board!
Day-13 Walk-There was
many challenges today. I prayed this morning to God to set the atmosphere for
me today. I felt the need to have His whole armor around me today. The Word was
rich too. I read Romans 5:1-5 and it says, " 1 Therefore, since we have been justified through
faith, we[a] have peace with God
through our Lord Jesus Christ, 2 through whom we have gained access by faith into
this grace in which we now stand. And we[b] boast in the hope
of the glory of God. 3 Not only so, but we[c] also glory in our
sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; 4perseverance, character;
and character, hope. 5 And hope does not put us to shame, because God’s
love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been
given to us." This was so good! We have peace with God through our Lord
Jesus Christ. Peace. So many people long for this in their lives. No matter
what, through Jesus, we have it!!! By faith we have gained access into this
grace. We are so blessed!! Just by believing (faith), grace abounds with us. It
will follow us and with the way things are going in this world, we need God's
grace. We Glory in God and in sufferings! Sufferings! Really? We Glory in hard
times and trials, when people hurt us and when things go wrong? Yes we do!
Because we know that suffering produces perseverance. That means you will never
stop trying to live right as it pleases God!! You will never stop believing. And
because you will never stop believing your perseverance will produce character.
You will learn to honor God. You will learn to forgive. You will learn to be
meek. You will learn to be kind. You will learn to love unconditionally!! And
this will produce faith! Because when you get through all of these things you
will know that only God could have done it. So when you begin to feel stressed
out! Remember, this scripture and how blessed we truly are. With that being
said I had to use it today. I really believe there are some people that are
planted in your life to help build your character. They will challenge you in
ways you cannot imagine. You will be tested through and through, but eventually
love will conquer all. Because love endures, but Satan does not. So he cannot
outdo love!!! Love never fails!!!
Day 13-Wins! Today I kept my cool even though I was angry! I
prayed for a friend’s granddaughter. I witnessed today. I did not hold a grudge
today. I decided to write my blog tonight even though I was so tired! I took up
for my daughter today. I learned a valuable lesson from God today. I forgave
today. I sowed a seed of forgiveness today. I swallowed my pride today.
Even in challenging situations never give up!! God is
developing who you are going to be. No matter what He is going to finish the
work He started in you. And when you are ready to open your whole heart and
mind to Him all things will be revealed to you. And when it is revealed you
will know exactly how to handle it! Enjoy your evening and I look forward to
our next encounter and remember the 3 w's are worth working for!!
