Letter to a mentor and friend, The Final Part

(the final conclusion, thanks for your patience)Two, God knows how to shift your focus off yourself, and fix it on His perspective on life. And finally three:  God just gave me all of this so I could share it with someone else.

 

I felt so much better after realizing all of this. I thank God that no matter what we go through in life,  he never leaves us, nor forsakes us. In John 16:33b (NLT) Our Lord says “Here on earth you will have many trials and sorrows. But take heart, because I have overcome the world.”

 

I ended this letter by saying how much I appreciate my friend’s prayers and support. Because of this, I felt those burdens roll off me. Matt 11:28-30, He says 28 “Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. 30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.”

Even though it feels like I'm going through "the valley of the shadow of death" Psm 23:7. But then I realize that "greater is He that lives in me, than He whose in the world."1 Jn 4:4. Only God has the final say about how my life turns out. His word says in Eph 2:10, that "we are His workmanship created in Christ Jesus". And in Phil 1:6 "He who began a good work in you, will perform it."

 

Well, it’s 2:45 AM and I think I’m finally ready to go back to sleep. But lastly, I just wanted to say, in the immortal words of Gloria Gainer, "I will survive", But it's only in gratitude to God!

HAVE YOU BEEN POISONED?

How you can tell when you’ve been poisoned . Your actions and attitudes are toxic ! Toxic thoughts lead to toxic actions. Toxic thinking poisons others around us. Eventually toxic thinking leads to death (dreams). Watch out that the toxics around you don’t get inside you . How do you counteract toxicity? Speaking, thinking and acting positive activates life in you, around you, and gives life (energy) to others.

My experience at PODD for Men’s Fellowship

Being at the PODD felt like being at home, but I’m all grown up now . Don’t get me wrong. I loved the praise and worship music team. They really brought us into the presence of God. I loved rejoining with my brothers in Christ. It was good greeting my former pastor and friend. It’s felt good remembering all of the good times, and the not so good times we had there. But I’m not supposed to remain there. Now I belong to a new church, and a new body of believers. Eventually, I had to leave for my new home , and be with my new family .

Dealing with marital differences

I find the more I talk to people, the more they tell me the number one thing that is frustrating them in marriage, they don’t understand their spouse . Men don’t understand women, women don’t understand men. Being around women most of the time has given me some insight on how they think, how they feel, and how they react to situations. Guess what guys? God made them different from us. But thank God, He gives us the blueprint to help us, the Bible. My suggestion is this: Whenever you feel really frustrated or anxious about your wife’s behavior and her attitude, take your Bible and go into your prayer closet. Pray this prayer, “Father God, please change ME to deal with my wife in a way that honors you”. Right now, I probably lost 99% of you with that prayer. I know you would rather be like James and John and ask the Lord to rain down fire on your wife’s head. Maybe then she would submit herself to your leadership. But trust me on this. If you are truly seeking God’s will for your life, y...
