There's Something Special About You

There's Something Special About You There's something special about you And if I know it, Satan knows it too Your beautiful smile and sparkling eyes identifies you As a child of God who has strayed away, lost and confused You're special and Satan knows it So he befriends you with his many tricks By letting you cry on his shoulder and saying, I know God has left you all alone Making you feel that you're nothing but a filthy sinner with no one to call upon Then he strokes you with his hands to comfort you in your dismay Penetrating you with feeling of guilt, unworthiness and shame Consumed with sin, you walk around, longing to go back home Then Satan tries to convince you to stay, saying, you're too far gone After all you've done, you really think that your Father still cares? Then Satan reminds you of the relationship that the two of you share He reminds you of how he was there when God turned His back on you And reminisced of how he caressed y...

Daddy, I Need You

"Daddy, I Need You" According to the 2011 US Census Bureau, 24 million children live apart from their biological fathers. That is 1 in every 3 children in America. Out of this number 64% are African American, 34% Hispanic and 25% White American.      I will never forget the day that I witnessed a man in his 40’s crying while pouring out his heart to his aging father. There he stood, torn between love and hate. Part of him wanted to embrace while part wanted to lash out with words of hurt and pain. His issues with his father stemmed back as early as he could remember. The conversation included a life - long relationship of broken promises. He reminded his father of the times when he waited for him to pick him up for a weekend visit only to experience a ‘no show’. He expressed how he often waited for him on the porch with packed bags in excitement and anticipation of their weekend together only to be fed a plate of habitual broken promises that had continued even...

Not Good Enough

Not Good Enough      When I was a child, Satan tried to convince me through people and generational curses that I was not good enough. He tried to confuse me through circumstances, trials, pain and tears. I spent years making choices based off of these negative words and curses that were implanted deep into my spirit. But Lord, I thank you for never stop loving or giving up on me.                                                 When I began to remind myself of the promises of God, recognize that I am a child of God, when I allowed him to take control of my thoughts and actions and began to speak the word of God over my life- something happened. Things began to shift and move.      I believe that everyone should have a Bible promise book so during those moments of doubt and despair you can go to the topic of your need...

Pack Up or Put Up

"Pack Up" or "Put Up" In life, we are faced with so many decisions. Should I “pack up” and leave or should I “put up” my belongings and stay? This can apply to a job, a relationship, church, a business, etc.  If you move into a home but never unpack, you are not truly living there. You could also be living in a home with your belongings put away but you may have mentally packed up.  Do you find yourself complaining or complimenting more about that job, relationship, church, business, etc.? “Decisions are the hardest move to make. Especially when it’s a choice between where you should be and where you want to be”.  Unknown Author LifebySabrina
