Never Forsaken, Forever Favored

My beautiful family. I can't think of any other group of folks that I'd rather dedicate my service to. I love them all to pieces.

Friends, y’all gotta come in close for these gems here. ✨💎✨

My girls hear me say this all the time: Walk into the room like you’re blessed. Not like you’re better than everyone else, but as if you’re at least not less than them. YOU ARE BLESSED. Regardless of the situation your blessedness is evident - at least to the rest of us.

And when you’re blessed, you want everyone to experience it because you know how priceless it is. You can tell those who don’t feel it. They busy themselves with anger, bitterness, grudges, slander, seeking out the faults and failure of others. But I dare you to take just 10 minutes and meditate on nothing but your blessings; it pierces you right down to your soul and spirit.

Over the years people have asked where my joy comes from. I’ve been through more warfare than any one person should have to experiences and I’m still standing, looking like I’ve been through nothing. I’m not a “fake it til you make it” type person. I just feel so overjoyed despite the battle.

I speak His word because I’m blessed.

I smile at His creation because I’m blessed.

I laugh because I’m blessed.

I greet people kindly because I’m blessed.

I encourage people because I’m blessed.

My life is not without trials, but I’m blessed.

Everything doesn’t work out like I want, but I’m favored.

The enemy attacks, but I’m sheltered.

I experience heartbreak, but I’m loved. I’m so loved.

I’m not without sin, but I’m consecrated.

I’m not everyone’s cup of tea. But I’m chosen by the Sovereign God of the Universe. (And some just wouldn’t know good tea if it popped’em on the lips, anyway.😏)

I’m not perfect, but I’m perfectly positioned under the perfect blood of the perfect One who can perfect me.

So nah… I won’t be maneuvering through life like I’m less than blessed. It would simply be a misrepresentation of who my Lord has called me to be. How I show up is not just about me, but about the One who sent me.

Friends, don’t just show up. Show up like you’ve been blessed.
