My heart goes out to anyone whom has ever lost a friend and or loved one. It is up to us as a people to make sure we give folks their flowers while they are in out lives even if but for a moment!

Having faith is taking a blind eye to your current situation and or events and also a blind eye to the outcome!!! Not as in doesn't exist but truthfully trusting God!!! That all equals "Blind Faith "

1 Samuel 15:22-23 “Has the LORD as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of the LORD? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to listen than the fat of rams. For rebellion is as the sin of divination, and presumption is as iniquity and idolatry. Because you have rejected the word of the LORD, he has also rejected you from being king.”

Sacrifice always involves the choice of the person who makes the sacrifice. Obedience involves not only doing what we have heard God tell us to do; but doing it with a good attitude. Obeying with joy, even when we do not understand, is true obedience.

The wound hurts especially an open wound. But the healing phase hurts too. No matter what it takes, how long it takes you have to allow the healing PROCESS to take place in order to get to that threshold called: HEALED! Let God arise in your life to get to and get through your healing phase so you can truly be healed too!! God bless you!

Continuing Romans 12 series: Seek God First and all his righteousness and then seek peace like your life depends on it!!! Below are the scripture readings in this episode. Enjoy!!!

Roman's 12:17

17  Recompense to no man evil for evil. Provide things honest in the sight of all men.

reference 1 Peter 3:9 rendering evil for evil, or railing for railing: but contrariwise blessing; knowing that ye are thereunto called, that ye should inherit a blessing.

[1 Peter 3:9, NIV: "Do not repay evil with evil or insult with insult. On the contrary, repay evil with blessing, because to this you were called so that you may inherit a blessing." ... Instead, pay them back with a blessing. That is what God has called you to do, and he will bless you for it."]

 18  If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men.

 19  Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.

Psalm 34:13-15

13  Keep  thy tongue from evil , and thy lips from speaking guile.

 14  Depart from evil, and do good; seek peace, and pursue  it.

 15  The eyes of the LORD are upon the righteous, and his ears are open unto their cry.

Roman's 12:20-21

20  Therefore if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head.

 21  Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.

Philippians 4:8

8  Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.

What?

Romans 12:1  I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.

How? 12:9

  Let love be without dissimulation. Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good.
