‘The thing you hate the most, will come to you.’




Job 3: 25 Young’s Literal Translation

25 For a fear I feared and it meeteth me, And what I was afraid of doth come to me.

I watch people and I love to think that it is well with all people, I look at the way they walk and talk and it makes me believe that they actually don’t have a care in the world.  How totally wrong!  Of course each of us are facing some difficulty, there could be someone sick at home, or financial crisis.  But we have the ability to hide our emotions and looking in from the outside it seems well with my soul.

I also used to say ‘the thing you hate the most will come upon you’ and it actually did.  Drugs are something I despised and the sad part it destroyed my family.  The person that was involved with drugs didn’t come to realize the destruction he caused.  
 
Sadly we cannot turn back time and go and fix our mistakes, we all have learned from this destructive mechanism and since moved on.  It took a very long time to get over the hurts and disappointments but by God’s grace we have moved on.

Lessons learned: 
*)  never speak about the things you hate, it comes to you.  
*)  Nothing is in stone and live can and does throw you a curve ball, catch it. 
*)  Deal with it and move one, let go of bitterness and learn to forgive.

#never #destroyed

https://goo.gl/xK6bTg 2 Corinthians 4: 8-9AMP “We are pressured in every way [hedged in], but not crushed; perplexed [unsure of finding a way out], but not driven to despair; hunted down and persecuted, but not deserted [to stand alone]; struck down, but never destroyed;” I realized that my emotions are something that can cause me to feel pressure and hedged in. My circumstances seem impossible and I feel that there is no way I am going to make it. Then it’s time to check what is going on in your personal life.  Are you getting enough sleep? Are you eating properly? Do you take a break from time to time? If I don’t get enough sleep it seems despair is knocking at my door, and I feel miserable. I just cannot move forward, I want to curl up and died. Just because I am tired and there seems to be no way out. Emotions have a way of controlling each one of us. I realized that I will never be destroyed because there is a way forward.  God gave me common sense an...

You are a Blessing to me!

Working in a multiracial office is always interesting, and my story today is one about sharing and looking out for each other.    Our cleaning lady doesn’t earn much and I doubt even if they are paying her ‘mini mum wages’.   Nevertheless the people in our office know this and worry about her.    One of the young ladies decided to give her a newspaper with all the latest add in it.   As she paged through the paper she sat next to her and asked her ‘what do you like’.    Looking at the stuff on the page she pick out a couple of things that seemed impossible to own and said to this young girl.   I like this and I would love to have one of these. Without her knowledge the Human Resource division made a collection and they then assigned the task to the young lady to buy the things Judy wanted. We gave her, her gifts today.   I was amazed at her gratefulness, tears of joy running down her face and all she could say was “T...

Help Me Stay True in Giving God His Tithe

Can I be real with you for a minute? Tithing is something I wrestle with. I try my best to be faithful, giving to the best of my ability. But let's be honest, sometimes I look around and see others who seem to be blessed in ways I'm not. They have this financial ease, this "caliber" of blessing, that can feel a world away from my own reality. And in those moments of doubt, a quiet, gentle voice reminds me: I am blessed. God does provide. He has come through for me more times than I can count, often in ways I didn't even see until later. He's always there, picking me up when I've lost it and guiding me when I'm blind to the path. My heart is so grateful for that. But my thinking still needs work. My human nature kicks in and whispers, "I earned this. I worked for this salary." It’s a constant battle to get my heart aligned with the truth. And the truth is found in verses like this: “A tithe of everything from the land, whether grain from the ...
