Be ye grateful

Tonight my aunt witnessed to me about God's wondrous works in her life. And as she revealed her testimony, it made me reflect on my own life. How I've complained and worried about trivial things....problems others would gladly relinquish their own issues in exchange for.

As my aunt went through her testimony, the saying "but by the Grace of God...." kept repeating in my head. Without revealing my aunt's testimony, let's just say that "if it weren't for God, His grace AND mercy, my aunt would not be here today in sound mind and body to relay her testimony. Only a child of God could've survived such trials and come out triumphant. Like Job (in the bible), my aunt kept her faith and God has kept her in the midst of it all. Those trials seemed higher than the tallest mountain in the world, but they were no match for God. He showed up and CONTINUES to show out.

After listening to the testimony, I realized that my problems and concerns are minuscule in comparison. Thus, I resolve to be a better steward. I resolve to grow more in my christian faith. I resolve to pray more and complain less. I resolve to cast EVERY care upon the Lord so that HE may direct my path. I resolve to give God ALL my concerns regarding the growth of my business (Azillerating Bodies). I will have increased faith and do the works God requires and that's it. I resolve to cease with the worrying and stressing. God said in the bible that he will handle EVERY care and burden.

My friends, if you're constantly worrying about things in your life, STOP! Don't worry or stress. Stress does not solve problems. Stress is a silent killer. Be grateful. Find God. Develop a relationship with Him. Find a church home. If you don't want to find a church, listen to a sermon on TBN until you feel comfortable to find a church home for your spiritual nourishment. Pray and let God direct your path.

Remember: 'The Lord is your light and your salvation, of whom shall you fear?...The Lord is the strength of your life, of whom shall you be a afraid?' Psalms 27:1

I love you in spirit.
