It's spring time 2016. There are numerous things going on in our society right now. President Obama being the first U.S. President to visit Cuba in almost ninety years. The 2016 Presidential race which has been short of a mockery especially on the Republican side. The crazy weather with its storms and floods among many other things. All is not lost despite the way somethings appear.
Having faith in God is the key to withstanding anything this life throws at you. We are a few days away from Easter Sunday or rather I say Resurrection Sunday for Christian believers in Jesus Christ.
If you are a Christian then you know Jesus was crucified, died, and three days later rose again with all power, so that anyone who believes shall not perish but have a right to eternal life in Heaven. Jesus Christ died for our sins, he made the ultimate sacrifice in the midst of being unappreciated, tortured, abused, betrayed, among many other things. The factor that stands out though, is that he fulfilled his God ordained purpose.
Allow me to draw an analogy as it relates to you and me. As men and women we go through the adversity of life, sickness, financial issues, heartache, broken families, emotional imbalance, and a whole gambit of other issues. Think of that as being placed in a tomb prematurely, but without faith in God you will remain there. When you exercise your faith in God, he will resurrect you, so you can be on your path to fulfilling your purpose. Without faith it is impossible to please God and even more it's harder see the light at the end of the tunnel or the sun because of the down pour of rain. I encourage every man and woman reading this blog to resurrect your purpose because God has something mighty in store for you.
In the bible in Luke 23:46 it says, Jesus called out with a loud voice, "Father, into your hands I commit my spirit!" when he had said this, he breathed his last.
Poetic Thought:
Sin always keeps an open invite,
Obedience is better than sacrifice, strive to live right,
Everyday it's another round in life's boxing ring,
Roll with the punches, keep swinging, your trainer is the King of Kings,
Titles and accolades are ok, they touch only the surface,
To be an agent of change, allow God to resurrect your purpose!!! ~ JD
There are many songs I love by the R&B soul band Earth, Wind, and Fire. Rest in peace to Maurice White the founder. This song is in my top five favorite by them, entitled "Devotion." At the end of the day we all need Devotion to God and to our Purpose which will allow us to have better devotion to our families. You show me what a man or woman is devoted to and I can tell where his or her heart is at. I want to wish everyone a Happy Resurrection Day! Immerse yourself into the goodness of God and give him thanks for his son Jesus Christ and all he has done for you. Also this week marks 3 years since I started this blog back in March 2013. I thank everyone who has taken the time to read it and I hope it inspires you and may you continue to support it. I thank you all! God Bless! Until next time, class dismiss!!!
