Chess Piece

I’m feeling like a chess piece,

And I can’t quite figure out the strategy

But I’m glad.

I know I’m safe because God’s the that’s moving me.

I know what I want

I know exactly where I wanna be,

It’s the path that puzzles me

It’s failure that’s haunting me.

I’m tryna find the next step

But I thought there’d be an elevator,

I know God’s saying put away the

Fear

Trust Me.

See I got a fear of the unseen

But wait. Matthew 6:33

Matthew 6:33

You’ve always been faithful

I’m usually ungrateful

I’m so used to the things I prayed for

that I forgot about the miracles.

Moving forward I won’t forget your track record

I’ll walk by faith.

Remembering your countless blessings

Tho sometimes I forget you, you always remembered me

And all you ask is

Matthew 6:33

But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness, and all these things will be added unto you.

Instead of chasing dreams

Chase God.

And everything you need will chase you.

I hate when I see people say that. Maybe I just take it too literally, I don't know.

No matter how good or how bad you think your life is, no one will get out of this alive.

I reflected back to what seems to be my message for this year. It is more rewarding to live in expectancy for the life to come rather than becoming too comfortable in this life, which is only for but a moment.

[James 4:14 yet you do not know what tomorrow will bring. What is your life? For you are a mist that appears for a little time and then vanishes. -ESV]

God's word tells us more than once that we should be servants.

[Philippians 2:5-7 Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus: Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be grasped, but made himself nothing, taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness. -KJV]

Many times I feel like we attempt to "give" because 1. its commanded 2. sometimes if makes us feel and sadly 3. we think/hope we will reap the benefits.
The true attitude of giving should be one that could careless of receiving reciprocation, or even recognition.
We get so caught up of the superficial and materialistic benefits of giving that we lose perspective.

You may not be a millionaire but your needs are taken care of. You have dinner every night ( even if its something you don't 'feel' for.)
You may not have a mansion but you have a dwelling place.
You may not have 2 Bentley and Lamborghini but you get around from place to place somehow.

Our *wants* should always be secondary!

Our reward is NOT in this life it is in the life to come.

[Matthew 6:33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.]

Seek ye first the kingdom of God, that is; seeking His face, a relationship, seeking to be like Him, and to please Him. Letting go of our arrogance, letting go of our *wants* and focusing on our needs. When we are thankful for the things that we so easily take for granted we begin to take a step forward into living with an 'Eternal Mindset'.

==Eternity means an existence that will never cease==
"The one who lives for this life only will have eternity to regret it."

Go tell

I'm new to this blogging thing so this may sound like a bunch of random short thoughts.

This time of year always reminds me that we serve a risen Savior and that bc of what He did upon that cross, our sins are forgiven. My soul rejoices every time I think about the love that God has for us that he gave his only son for our sake. Christ did rise on the third day and he left us the great commission telling us to go and make disciples of Him.

This is something I struggle with and I dont know why bc God has done so many great things for me and I would be selfish if I did not tell of His love to others. So I urge myself and others, as we remember why He died for us, let us remember what he had commanded us to do and Go tell.

Ok I'm done sounding all preachy. I'm just trying to bask in God's love and mercy upon my life bc there have been many a times where I did not deserve His grace. But at this point in my life, I'm not going back, I'm moving ahead I'm to declare to yall my past is over in HIM all things are made new in my life and I thank and praise God for the wonderful work he has begun in me.

Shout outs to Israel Houghton for that wonderful song lol. Stay Blessed yall!

Oh and another thing, I love me some Jesus!
