I went back to my computer realizing I can't be ashamed of God and what He has done for me. In the Bible, it says in Luke 9:26 "Whoever is ashamed of me and my words, the Son of Man will be ashamed of them when he comes in his glory and in the glory of the Father and of the holy angels." I know I don't want that to happen. So I will tell all who will hear, that I love the Lord and I give Him ALL the honor and praise.
In changing my heart, I have learned to forgive and remember that everyone may not be where I am in my walk with God. And I know to get to heaven, I MUST LOVE EVERYONE! The Bible says in Matthew 6: 14 & 15 "For if you forgive other people when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive others their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins"
I know that this committment will not be easy, because I'm sure I will be in situations that will not be comfortable for me. But, I want to let everyone know, all you have to do is believe and call on God for help in whatever your situation. Depression and anxiety are works of the devil. When you are feeling down, listen to some praise and worship music. I love to listen to Marvin Sapp. In his song Praise Him in Advance, he says, "Praise will confuse the enemy. I started singing, clapping and dancing. People started laughing cause they knew my problems and my pain, but I knew God would take them away!! That's why I praise Him in a song..............for He's given me a second chance, so let's praise Him in advance!".....amen
Once you allow God to work out your situation, remove yourself and truly trust that He will bring you through. It may not be overnight, but it will be right on time. Then you will understand Marvin Sapp when he sings, "Never Would Have Made It....I"m stronger, I"m wiser, I"m better. I made it thru my storm and test, cause HE was there to carry me thru my mess".
I've never shared in public how God brought me thru diabetes, unable to walk, or how he stepped in with my finances when I couldn't work and how He lead me out of depression from a failed marriage. But I'm here to say, this is my testimony. I'm still standing! And when you see me cry, it's not because I'm weak or sad, but I'm alive! God's got this! God bless you.
