Father God is the great creator. He created the universe, the colors of the seasons, and he created me. I love His paint brush. If you can settle down, stop looking at the news, and tune out the negative people, you will find that nature is pretty amazing.
This has been a very transitional year for me. Moving from one good job to another good job, letting go of toxic associations, and stretching my creative wings. The weeks of October 16- 31, have been filled with doctors visits, ultra sounds, a shift my my circle, and a job transition. In-spite of busyness of the weeks, God showed me beauty and gave me clarity. I have heard His voice clearly and was taught a valuable lesson about Walking By Faith. I saw the beauty in the fall leaves, the drops of rain, and the value of a good community of believers.
YOU ARE FEARFULLY AND WONDERFULLY MADE: I took this photo (Left) after a doctor's visit. The photo does not give justice to the true beauty of God's creation. Each leaf was unique and different. Whether it was in color, shape, or size; it was uniquely made.
I stood there thinking about how the Father has made all of us different. We are fearfully and wonderfully made. I can remember teaching my Sunday School class "You are good and wonderfully made; because God don't make no junk!".
THERE IS BEAUTY AND CLARITY IN THE FALL: The late Bishop Melvin Boyd once told me that "life is 10% of what happens to you and 90% of how you react:". Minister Gloria Copeland said "1st Words Matter". Minister Joyce Meyer said "You can't be powerful and pitiful at the same time".
When the season changes, the leaves change, then fall from the trees and eventually they die. Death is a part of life whether its a life well lived or a life lived in foolishness and bad decisions. (right)
The leaves that had fallen to the ground are still beautiful, still unique, and still a part of Gods Creation. They've just fallen in preparation for the next transition. Have you fallen? Find the positive, speak the word of God over your situation, and stop looking for sympathy from people whom are dealing with their own issues.Don't allow your fall to cause you to try to make someone else fall. Don't do it by telling lies, spreading gossip, or playing games. Find the beauty and seek clarity from God.
THOSE WHO SOW IN TEARS WILL REAP JOY: Psalm 126:5 tells us that those who sow in tears will reap with shouts of joy; shed tears as you plant and you will shout for joy when you reap the harvest.I remembered that part of scripture when i noticed one of the leaves (left) had rain drops like those of tears. It reminded me of a situation that happened several weeks ago. A ploy of the enemy (Satan not the person) to steal my vision and my wittiness. Beware of Satan seeking to destroy you through gossip, fear, misunderstandings, and lairs. I cried painful tears and was delivered. The enemy tried to steal and hurt me again a couple of weeks ago with the same test. God and his Holy Spirit said no. My tears brought beauty, clarity, and the harvest. You may have tears, you may have an enemy in your circle, an illness, or you may have fallen and not know how to get up. What ever your situation may be, ask God to show you. Ask Him for wisdom. James 1:5 reads If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all freely and with criticism. God is here for you and he has placed people on your path to help you.
REMEMBER, GOD IS THE GREAT CREATOR AND HE CREATED YOU TO BE GREAT IN HIS IMAGE.
Peace and Blessings,
