Lord, your works are awesome.
How did you place sight in my eyes?
Enabling me to see the sunrise.
I can see the trees sway in the wind, their branches bend.
Oh,incredible for me to see
the cumulus, stratus and cirrus,
float lazily
over the trees.
I behold the breeze.
I notice the bees
that pollinate
the aubergine.
How great it is for my eyes to see.
Prince of peace, your opus is awesome!
I praise you for the sight you placed in my eyes.
Enabling me to see the sunrise/
how divine
this sight of mine
everytime
I rise and shine.

I want it
Sometimes I think I know what I need and what's best for me. Only God knows what I really really need. I don't want to want what I want just because I want it. I want to want it because God knows I need it.
Need-anything necessary but lacking
Want- to feel or have a desire for
You can be sure that God will take care of everything you need, his generosity exceeding even yours in the glory that pours from Jesus. Phil 4:19 (The Message Bible)
I want it, do you?

What do you want?
"And my God will meet all your need according to his glorious riches in Christ Jesus." Philippians 4:19 (NIV)
Do you want to want what God know you need?

What Are Your Measurements?
For we dare not make ourselves of the number, or compare ourselves with some that commend themselves: but they measuring themselves by themselves, and comparing themselves among themselves, are not wise. 2 Corinthians 10:12
Sometimes I think we get a little lost or perhaps even discouraged. We tear ourselves down trying to compare ourselves to other women. We know everything about ourselves and we only know what "sista girl" chooses to reveal to us. Fortunately or unfortunately it's usually "made-up" to look really pretty. Let's face it we all try to only put the "good stuff" on front street. We want to put our best foot forward instead our real one. Well, that's alright and also another "story". The problem arises when we compare ourselves with ourselves instead of trying to measure up to what God wants us to be.
Let's try these measurements:
*are we where God assigned us?
*is God getting glory?
*can God approve our work?
The bottom line is this. When the good Lawd comes checking for us He's gonna wanna see that we did what He commanded of us and not the same thing "Jane Jones" did!

Ready To Die?
In order to be a disciple for Jesus Christ and to glorify Him we must be ready and willing to die.
Die to "self". Daily. It's a must. If not we get wrapped up in selfishness and "I-itis", self centered-ness, whining, bickering, moaning, complaining and did I mention WHINING! All sorts of childish behavior.
It can be a vicious cycle. Reminiscent of a dog chasing it's tail. (how silly does that look)
On the other hand, when we humble ourselves under God's mighty hand, fall to the ground and die, (germinate) be hidden, lost to ourselves but found in Christ. We can be used mightily by God. We can fulfil purpose.
Jesus died so that we might live. We must die to self so that Jesus can effectively live in us and through us.
So Suga' go on and BLESS God and die. Die to self. Let God live through you. Bring forth MUCH fruit!
Scripture Reference: John 12:20-27

Just Because
Because He lives I can face tomorrow.
Because He lives all fear is gone.
Because I know He holds the future
and life is worth the living because he lives.
No matter how hard life "seems" know that you can... because He lives.
Tomorrow will come and whatever it holds you can face becuse He lives.
Yes Lawd, you can because He lives.
Baby, no matter how "hard" it seems, let nothing separate you from His love.
Pain and suffering will come and they come in many forms. While you're in it, it feels horrible and pointless. You can endure!!!
Yes Lawd, you can because He lives.
Because, because, because...you can, you can, you can.
Yes Lawd, you can because He lives waaaaaaay down in your soul in mine too.
Halleluah!
