Hey Fam,
I was looking over some things in my life. How at times I have called myself
creating my own breaks. Moving and shaking. Sometimes I have in attempt to
get into an area of blessings, did it the wrong way or by the wrong
approach. Why? Because it was about me and getting mine or for mine. I came
to realize that All I have to do is be in Christ Jesus and HE will direct me
in a direction that I cannot top. HIS direction may take longer than I had
hoped but HE will surely put me in the place of abundance. We are always
looking for doors or opportunity. Nothing wrong with that. The issue is
which doors you use and the methods of entry. So many of us try to kick in
doors and take ours, others try to sneak in doors and steal ours, but if We
allow Christ to be our door we can walk upright through them and experience
true blessings. If you ever had to lie, deceive, cheat or steal for
something that you wanted, then you went about it the wrong way and God
won't truly bless your mess. Remember, what God has for you is for you.
Don't ruin it by thinking that you have to shake and jive to get yours. Not
saying that God won't have you fight for yours but HE'LL never have you
sacrifice your integrity. I have learned this the hard way, over the years.
Every door that I walk into these days, I always pray that Jesus is standing
there at the threshold. For those who have been walking upright and it seems
like the door is so far away or not opening fast enough for you. Feed on
this nugget:
Jesus said, "I am the door. If anyone enters by Me, he will be saved, and
will go in and out and find pasture....I have come that they may have life,
and that they may have it more abundantly." --JOHN 10:7, 9, NKJV
Bless you,
