If this weather gets any more beautiful, I don't know if we can stand it! 68 degrees in beautiful Lilburn!
I trust that everyone is having a beautiful start to your Thursday! Mine has been awesome! God is good, all the time! And all the time, God is good!
Funny how things happen sometimes....you keep hearing the word," forgiveness", and you hear "in His will"....This is how I first started realizing that God was trying to show me something, trying to make me understand how my life was going to change...but not until I could forgive the ones that had done me wrong, ask forgiveness from them, and continue to ask God each and everyday what His will for my life is!
Movies, hair clients, books, memories of the past...all these things were instruments being used by God to show me what I had to do!
First, it was forgiveness! I was watching Good Day Atlanta one morning before work. There was a young new actor, writer, CHRISTIAN gentleman on the show. He was releasing his first movie. It was called, "Diary of a mad black woman"!! Yes, Tyler Perry! I listened to his story, and it touched my heart! I had never heard his name before that morning...but little did I know how much his plays/movies would touch my life, and help me on my walk with my Jesus!
I decided I wanted to see everything he has ever written! So, Scott goes to the movie rental store, and rents everything they had by Tyler Perry. The first one I watched was, "I can do bad all by myself"...wow...it was huge for me. I laughed, cried, shouted praise to God, through out the entire play. God spoke about forgiveness thru this play. This is when I realized for certain, that I HAD to forgive...its one of the hardest things you have to do, but a necessary one...and the one thing that can set you free....but...it wasn't that easy...
I was searching still, for peace, I knew that God was working in my life, but I just couldn't get to where I needed to be, and I couldn't understand why.
One day, while the salon was quiet, there was just me and one hair stylist, and her very good friend/client in that building..he started to tell us how God had touched his life, and healed him of his cancer, and how he had to forgive in order to be in Gods perfect will. Ok! That was the next thing God was trying to tell me, I can't be in His perfect will, if I am not totally surrendered to Him, if I am not obedient...Forgiveness, in HIS will...wow...
I KNEW I had to forgive...but how? When you feel that you have been treated so badly, and you have this resentment built up inside of you, HOW? How do you forgive???????
I hope that there are people actually reading this, because with each word I type, I feel that God has someone that needs to hear something I have to say. I am praying for that person right now....
Until tomorrow, God Bless us all! :)
Sometimes, more often than not, God speaks to us in the small things. Jesus is Lord!!!
