"There Ain’t No Worries On Me!"




Matthew 6:25-27~"Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more important than food, and the body more important than clothes? Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life.~

How many of *y’all worry about a lot of things? How many of *y’all know that after we pray to the Lord about something that we are supposed to leave it in his hands? When we worry, it means we are trying to handle things ourselves. It also shows a lack of faith. I know it is easier said than done, but when we pray for Jesus to take care of something for us, we should leave it alone. For example, if you planted a seed and then dug it up afterwards to check on it, how would it grow? It can’t because you interfered with its growth. Stop worrying and being anxious all the time. When you give it to God -leave it with God, because he takes care of us. I must say that I have been guilty of worrying about some things myself, and while worrying I felt anxious and sick inside, because I was trying to handle things by myself. After I finally prayed about my situation and truly gave it to Jesus, he immediately gave me peace. If any of *y’all are stressing, about anything please give it to the one who can take care of it. Stop worrying! Stop making yourself sick! And most of all stop digging up the seeds you’ve planted so that they can grow!

Can anyone out there relate?


Be Blessed *Y’all.

Speak Life


Proverbs 18:21 ~Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof. ~

How many of *y’all know someone that always has something negative to say? Everything that they say tends to be cutting and dark. How many of *y’all know that life and death are in the power of the tongue? That we can turn a situation around just by the words we say? Words are powerful- so powerful that when God said “Let there be light!” it immediately happened. Do you know that we have the same power to speak things into existence too? Jesus gave us the same power to speak things into existence. If you always say negative things and negative things tend to happen to you, you have no one to blame but yourself ,for listening and believing the constant negativity that the enemy has spoken into your life.
From now on I will choose to speak life into my life and into other people’s lives. Did you know that speaking life on someone can make their spirit man soar? Did you also know that speaking death on them can break their spirits too? As God’s children we have to speak life into others ,because that’s what Jesus teaches us. Instead of saying, ‘I can’t -say I can!” Instead of saying ‘the glass is half empty -say it’s filled to the top! Instead of saying all my relationships will fail, say all my relationships will prosper…." You have the power to choose your words so why not choose life-giving ones?

Be Blessed *Y’all.
