The Creator knows



As a mother, I can recall many times trying to explain things to our son. As a young child, he was very inquisitive asking lot of questions. He trusted his parents to give him the right and truthful answer.  Although at times I could not give him the right answer, because I lacked the information myself. This prompted me to consider do I always ask the right person for answers. I couldn't answer why certain things were created. Looking down at my then young child I assured him that his questions should be directed to the creator of whatever object he was referencing. That answer must have been good enough for my son because it ended his interrogation. But could that answer be good enough for us when we inquire about our purpose?


Having this kind of relationship with our son allowed him to know that his parents didn't have all the answers but that there is someone- a Creator who does. We taught our son that everything in life was created by someone. When we ask the questions of why this was created, or what is its purpose. To get the true meaning we must consult the creator.  With technological advances, we can easily research the manufacturing site for the proper use and purpose items. There are times we could ask someone who is trained or skilled with the information. This thought process should carry over to us. The created doesn't choose its purpose only the creator has the true purpose of the created. When our son asked, "Mom why was I created?" I smiled at him and answered, "Because Mommy loves you." My heartfelt answer did not appease nor satisfy his inquiry. And rightfully so. A question like that requires more than just a warm and fuzzy moment.  I remember asking the same question but I was a junior in high school, not a young child.  I believe we all should ask that question. Why was I created? 


In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.  He was in the beginning with God.  All things were made through Him, and without Him, nothing was made that was made. John 1:1-3


Where there's a building there's a builder, where there is art there's an artist, a creation there's a creator. So to know your why, consider the Creator. As a young adult, I went through a phase where I thought I had to find myself by creating meaning in my life. This phase caused me a lot of headaches and heartaches. But Jeremiah 29:11 helped me realize I was created for a plan. And guess what? My Creator knows that plan. I don't have to attempt to figure things out. 


For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope. Jeremiah 29:11


Jeremiah 29:11 blessed me. It helped me to see that I was created for a purpose and to whom I should speak concerning my purpose. We all have a Creator as John 1:1-3 says all were made through Him (Jesus). Still, desire to know your purpose? Try Jesus. If you don't know Jesus, it's okay. You can accept Him into your heart right where you are. Repeat after me. "Jesus I want to know you as Lord and Savior. Forgive me for all the wrong I've done and wash me cleanse. Come into my heart Lord and teach me to love you. In Jesus name Amen."


If you said those words with a sincere heart then join us on this journey into a closer relationship with Christ. Your purpose awaits.

Still Standing: A Testimony of Grace, Pain, and Purpose

-
Image
Thirteen years ago, on what seemed like a normal Sunday morning, I got myself and my then one-year-old son ready for church. I had no idea that we would never make it there that day—and that my life was about to change forever. As we headed downstairs, I grabbed the last few items we needed before leaving. I secured my son in his car seat, buckled myself in, and backed out of the parking spot. But by the time I reached the first traffic light, I was in excruciating pain. I didn’t know what to do. All I could think to do was follow the prompting in my spirit: call my mother. Somehow, I made it down the road to her house, but I could barely get out of the car. My sister came out to meet me and take my son from the backseat. Just moments later, sweat began to pour down my face. My mother called on others to pray for my healing. That prayer brought a wave of peace and comfort—enough for me to lie down and rest. As I did, my family continued on to church. Hours later, I was in t...

Learning to embrace the TRUTH!

 Learning to embrace the TRUTH! Have you ever looked at your reflection in a mirror only to discover that you don't appear to be yourself? I have. As I went through life searching for love, acceptance, and self-worth I ended up buying the lies this world fed me.  Such as I had to look a certain way to receive love, or I had to please people to be accepted and liked. There's one thing wrong with this belief. The feeling of not being good enough when you don't receive love and acceptance. The feeling of rejection can lead to self-doubt.  The lyrics of Lauren Diagle's song entitled  You Say, powerfully express this.  "I keep fighting voices in my mind that say I'm not enough. Every single lie that tells me I will never measure up. Am I more than just the sum of every high and every low? Remind me once again just who I am because I need to know." Feeling not good enough prompted me to run into the arms of God the Father. The only one who I was taught loves unc...

He heard my prayer and He answered

  He heard my prayer and He answered Living in sin can become warm and cozy. Becoming comfortable in doing wrong is a dangerous place to be. Especially for a child of God. But how can a child of God live in sin? God's Word instructs us that “These desires give birth to sinful actions. And when sin is allowed to grow, it gives birth to death. James 1:15 NLT. My desires were not the sin but the actions that I took to fulfill those desires was the sin. So how can a child of God live in sin? We all have wants, and desires but when we are intice to the point of taking action. To the point of covetness, deception, lust, greed or any other selfish action that is the sin that leads to death. When we become comfortable with our sinful actions then we are living in sin. But can I stop for a moment to thank Jesus for His sweet Holy Spirit. One function of the Holy Spirit is to convict us of wrong. That's exactly what the Holy Spirit started doing in my heart and mind. I started feeling u...

Reset Please

-
Image
Where's the reset button? Everything that could have gone wrong has. Now what? These thoughts flooded my mind one day as I realized I was making the same mistake repeatedly.  I buried my face in my hands as I cried out. I cried so hard that I could barely breathe. I walked around carrying the weight of guilt for a while until one day a friend of mine shared the reset button with me. There is hope. There is a reset. Christ Jesus is our reset.  One of my favorite scriptures is 2nd Corinthians 5:17, "Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new."  My understanding of that scripture if I desire a new start in life I need to be in Christ. I felt relieved to know that I could have a fresh start in life.  I didn't have to be down and depressed because of my past failures and my current struggles. Christ doesn't want this for us. He desires to give us all the promises in Him. Promises ...

The stroll of social media

Social media is a world in itself. It appears that everything you may need in life is attached to social media. Everyone is seeking something in life. Some may be seeking fame and fortune, popularity, information, and connection to name a few.  We all are seeking something and as we stroll through social media it appears that we can find what our heart seeks. Entertainment is there, trendy hot topics are there the latest gossip is there, drama is there, networking opportunities are there, and various social groups to belong to they're there. Some spend countless hours on social media strolling through the different news feeds and posts. Attempting to fill whatever void they  may be experiencing. This void may be from boredom, the rush for the latest trends or drama, or just wanting to be in the know. Whatever the void, it seems that social media is fitting the bill. But there's something that social media cannot fill. If we can take a moment to get off the surface ...
