Surviving The Winter...

This is for the one who is going through or about to face life’s winter season…
I come to realize that often what the devil means to use to hurt you, God has a way of working it out for good.
I once spoke of us being like seeds. We can either be annuals (only
good for a particular time and have to be uprooted protected for a season..
Then replanted) or perennials (hardy and able to bloom when the time comes..
Able to withstand the harsh winter season without being moved.) In life folks are gonna throw dirt on you..
They'll actually go at packing it on you. Then, they'll dump on you as well. I say,
don't worry about it. If God planted you there, let them do whatever.
Their dumping on you will only serve as fertilizer. We all have our critics.. Folks who prefer to attempt
to judge you, your walk and your lifestyle while they are totally unaware of
just how messed up they are. When you find yourself there... BE STILL.. AND
know that God is God.. allow the process to go forth. Take root and grasp
a hold to the ROCK. The process continues. After they dump on you, expect
rain.. Rain causes your surroundings to feel soggy and uncomfortable.
Sometimes, you'll feel like you will drown during this period but BE
STILL. It still yet aids the process. After the rain, The SON will shine on
you.. Then you'll grow to be a beautiful, hardy (strong) plant before God. We
don't have to worry when folks plot against us. We don't have to act ugly
when others act that way with us.. If God is for you, who can't truly be
against you. In 2013, I refuse to be concerned about anything or anyone who
attempts to smother me, to choke me out, or even dump on me. I'm standing
still, with a smile on my face, I'm praying so much more than I did in
2012.. I'm singing so much more than I did. I'm preaching so much more than
I did and NO ONE or NOTHING outside of GOD ALMIGHTY can prevent that. I
received a WORD from God and it was to stop looking at my storms and start
seeing GOD even more. Thought I'd share that with someone today.. Winter time is coming.
It can be a brutal season.. Will you live or will you die.. Me.. I am going to thrive…
