“The Show Must Go On!”



~Proverbs 22: 24~Make no friendships with a man given to anger, and with a wrathful man do not associate.

Proverbs 27: 6~ “Faithful are the wounds of a friend, but the kisses of an enemy are lavish and deceitful.

~Psalm 84: 11 ~ “For the Lord God is a Sun and Shield; the Lord bestows grace and favor and glory. No good thing will He withhold from those who walk uprightly.”


How many of *y’all have noticed that in your walk with God that there now seems to be more negative people surrounding you? It probably bothers you because some of the people spewing negativity are your friends or relatives. I read an email awhile back that said that everyone can’t be in your front row. At first I didn’t really understand the ramifications of that statement, but after I prayed for knowledge in this area God revealed it to me. Everyone can not be in your front row. There will be people that will have to sit in the back or unfortunately can’t even be at your show. This doesn’t mean that you don’t show these individuals unconditional love, but this means that as you grow higher spiritually there will be people who for whatever reason will not understand it, and they will hate on you or make you feel guilty for the blessings that God bestows on your life. Don’t feel guilty because God does show favor to his children, and what many of the haters don’t realize is that they are looking at the end result and not thinking about the footsteps it took for you to get to where you are today. I can only speak for myself, but it took a lot of discipline and a many of nights of falling down, before I was broken down into my lowest form so that Jesus could begin building me back up into the creature he wanted me to be. So to my sisters and brothers living in the light please don‘t get discouraged on your path with God, because there will always be some people who won’t be as joyful as you are when you make spiritual gains in the Kingdom. The unfortunate fact is you can not invite everyone to your show to be in the front row, because they will tear up your show and cause chaos and confusion. You should just continue to pray for these individuals, pray that they see the light and realize that God can do the same thing for them if they would only have faith in him.


Can anyone out there relate?

Be Blessed *Y’all.
